Coronavirus (COVID-19) Discussion Thread

Since our COVID-19 numbers are very low (today is day 44 of zero cases in my state) the Aus government has said they won't be moving up their vaccine timeline in response to other countries, and still plan to start vaccinations in March.

I am pretty keen to get my shot but I understand that we don't have the same pressing need for it that countries like the UK or the US do so I'm not too fussed. I do worry though that it will escape from hotel quarantine again in the meantime and cause a third wave.

I wonder whether being an asthmatic puts me the category of people with pre-existing conditions to be vaccinated sooner, or if as a 31 year old I'll be at the back of the queue.
