June 2021 Just when we thought things were getting better Delta arrives.

The number of new daily cases of Covid-19 has stabilised in a band similar to the end of the second wave. However, there is always something new around to kick this beast on. This month it is the emergence of the Delta variant of the Coronavirus / Covid-19.

The Delta variant is an extremely contagious variant. A person in Australia developed Covid-19 after an infected person walked passed them, it was calculated (via CCTV) that the “contact” period was around 15 seconds.

Australia has gone from a leader in containment and management of Covid-19 to a “laughing stock”. Due to poor federal government policy Australia is now last on a list of developed nations for vaccinations. The issues in Australia have been put down to lack of urgency, planning delivery and messaging about the vaccination program.
