We can't expect case numbers in NSW will drop in the next couple of weeks. Which means lots of people will be infected.
If you're holding off for a brand of vaccine that you prefer the look of, you need to balance that against the very real chance you get infected before then.

A lot of the commentary around Australia’s “opening up” takes it as a binary: we’re either open or we’re closed.
But the plan everyone is arguing about foresees a transition.
There is a significant period of time when we can expect to be both closed and open i.e, clopen.
