“The Queensland border is open to Sydney and all of Victoria” and with these words the frenzy began. The phones and internet were on fire. Australians were booking their first holidays since COVID. Everyone is excited not only to travel but to see loved ones who they have been cut off from for months. Now the biggest problem is getting the planes in the sky to meet demand. Before COVID the Sydney to Melbourne flight path was the second busiest in the world.

Our other excitement is from today there are no coronavirus patients on ventilators. We are also on track to eradicate the virus. The only state to have local transmissions in the last 3 weeks is South Australia. These came from breaches in hotel quarantine but were shut down by a frenzied effort by contact tracers.
