Listening to media reports today reporting NSW maybe looking to vaccinate its way out of lockdown asap. This maybe a workable strategy but I doubt it will favor the Bathurst event as it will take time, am hearing late Oct if vaccination rates are kept up. Even if achieved other states gauge their actions on the number of cases in the community when deciding border closures/openings, and if NSW are looking to accept regular small numbers, and small hospitalizations the borders may stay shut until the rest of the nation gets to the agreed 80% where border closures will cease. This could be later this year if current vax trends are kept up??
I believe Bathurst's fate is now sealed, ie no event in 2021, may have 2 in 2022??? dunno if good/bad???
This may change though IF there is a sudden drop in numbers and are kept down.
bloody covid 
How long after having the 2 jabs are you magically invincible?
Even if NSW does the double jab to clear some attendees the bug ain't going anywhere.
We also have the issue of different states not accepting of other states way of doing things. Really need 1 unified approach but we need to get a Fed gov prepared to take the call first.
Am told 3 weeks after the 2nd jab you are vaccinated effectively.
the vaccine doesn't kill the virus in significantly reduce the chances of catching and transmitting it and MOST of all DIEING from it to nill, and going to hospital to a number similar to the current flu.
Fed Gov CANNOT tell the states what to do so they cannot make the call, however the last meeting of the states and feds they ALL agreed once we reach certain number restrictions will be removed I believe 80% when reached no more LOCKDOWNS etc. Covid from then on will be treated same as the common flu.
Current vaccine rate if maintained could easily see us at the 80% by xmas. we are doing 1 million every 5 days and already at 13 mill+ but we need 2 doses and there is a gap between doses.
hopefully 2022 will see some sort of normal Supercar calender, would like to see 2 bathursts if ths one is canned
