Being unvaccinated djokovic should not be allowed into a restaurant, but you can do whatever you want at home.
We've gone through a hell of a long lickdown, people in business, myself included have lost a lot of money, vaccination and following rules around mask wearing and so on are the way out of this ****.
In terms of djokovic, most Australians just think he's an arsehole and we're glad to see him get a hard time. I'll give you the hot tip, it never plays well to be young, rich, arrogant and entitled.
He should have been aware that having covid does not immunize you from having it again.
Neither does being vaccinated.

On a different note, it seems that the Rose Bowl was the super spreader event that has made Utah’s case counts go absolutely nuts.
So many people that went have contracted COVID.
Looks like my fears and reasons for not going played out the way I thought they might - though I feel like it’s just a matter of time before I catch Omicron. <sigh>

Why do you need to give me a hot tip
? How is it being entitled if you do not have COVID vaccine? I know that crime rate in Australia is kind of low, but isn't it a waste of police resources to chase Djokovic instead of potential drug dealers, gang members etc etc.Of course i know that last 2 years have been a hell for australian citizens and in Estonia the restrictions have been much milder but still IMHO overblown on some stuff. However, it is just another example of the phenomen "elections have consequences".
It is not like some kind of aliens have enforced those restrictions - it is your own fellow countrymen. Like in Europe.
The politician which got my vote in 2019 parliament elections was in the government 2019-2020; since 2021 his party has been in opposition. Sadly, his rhetoric has gone worse (to snatch some extra votes in future).
For me it is more like trust issue; i am pretty sure when planning travel to whichever country i try to chose those which are accessible by car because even in Europe the government decide something on day 1 and then something else on day 2.
For example, should Japan (the country i would really like to visit again) ease all the restrictions tomorrow i would probably wait at least 6 months to buy any tickets and probably the travel itself would be quite nervewrecking compared to 2019 May, when i also visited Japan.
I just find it sad, that even the government officials in Australia are trying to be in the same level as those in the worst period of Soviet Union, communist eastern-bloc or China i.e finding artificial stuff to blame somebody what he/she has not done.
True, but vaccination significantly reduces the likelihood of re-infection.

Like having a vaccine ?
I think there's an echo in here.
You know as well as I that vaccines provide more protection than having had the disease, and even more after you have already had the disease.

The good thing is that even with the huge spike we've seen in Utah and other places to Omricon, three clear narratives have emerged:
1. Hospitalizations and deaths have not shot way up indicating that though it's more transmissible, it's not more deadly
2. The vaccines are working as they're helping prevent the above (roughly half the cases are in the vaccinated)
3. Mask mandates are pointless if not enforced - in SLC county, I'd say only 25% of people were wearing masks this weekend with the exception of Costco that were actually providing and requiring masks upon entry).. My personal take is good hygiene and social distancing are more effective mitigation controls
Doesn't mean that it's no big deal that we're having this issue as we clearly are, but continued resiliency against new threats will continue the path towards it simply being endemic and seasonal like the flu itself.

there's a lot of evidence that the reverse is actually true Particularly with Omicron
