It seems there is going to be a 5 to 8 percent resistance if things are left as they are. But they won't be left as they are.
The simple facts are vaccinate fully and beat the Coronovirus disease or at least lessen greatly its severity and lessen the chances of passing it on so that people are not having to suffer or be hospitalised and/or die from it and so life can reach some kind of cautious normality.
The Delta variant of the disease must be rendered less damaging, less pervasive.
So teachers and the like will be forced to take the vaccination programme or give up their jobs. People want children to be safe and they are not with unvaccinated adults actively in charge of them.
And it of course wont just stop with those in the teaching and wider teaching profession.
If you have a family member unvaccinated, are they welcome into your home? I guess for most the answer is no.

Is this largely the result of new housing areas in the city?
Two months ago in the Wallaceville Estate a three bedroom, double garage home was sold for 1.3 million. It had a double garage but all the bedrooms were as tight as and no real storage spaces other than built in wardroves. One could construct a garden shed on the property. The garage had been used not for vehicles but as a work-from-home and cinema/tv room. The property had no appreciable views and was tucked away behind high fencing.
Yet maybe this property could now fetch another $100,000 if it was on the market.

Upper Hutt was one pf the lowest vaccine rates in the region and experts warn that if Covid strikes it will hit hard.
His plea comes at a time when the Government is urging all New Zealanders to get vaccinated if they want to enjoy an outdoor summer.
Professor Michael Plank, from Canterbury University, said the Delta variant was “really good” at finding unvaccinated populations such as Upper Hutt.
“We also know that any under-vaccinated groups will be at high risk of experiencing a fast-growing outbreak and suffering from higher rates of severe illness, hospitalisation and death.”

Do you remember Christmas time as a child? The excitement? The anticipation? The Christmas season seems to carry it’s own sense of magic and wonder—and that’s our theme for this year. The parade will make its way down Main Street on Sunday 5 December from 3.00 pm.
There is a $1,000 prize for the float that best reflects the ‘Magic of Christmas’ theme, and a $250 prize for the People’s Choice Award, voted for by the public on our Facebook page in the week following the parade.

“I’m not the normal age student!” she laughs. “I knew it would be a lot of work, but I was assured that I would have plenty of support from the NZ Post team and I did feel I needed a challenge at the time. Given the current climate right now with COVID-19, I knew the qualification would be an advantage if I was to take another path within NZ Post.”
Tracy has just been named as the Diploma of Print Management Student of the Year at the recent national Pride in Print awards, an honour she says was “absolutely blown away” to receive.
Upskilling is for everyone - you don't need to be new to your industry to gain a qualification and advance in your career!
Tracy is a perfect example of this.
