Let's hope this doesn't end up being like the Star Wars franchise. :| (I can handle the prequels, just no Disney-produced episodes 7, 8, 9 and spin-offs, please!)

Three different vaccines now - only counting ones from First World countries with stringent testing policies - and all three have passed with flying colours. (Not to mention others from countries like China.)

It is time for you to pay up Stui. You lost the bet.

How many have been rolled out to the general population?

I'll pay up when an effective vaccine is actually rolled out.

You first, I'm not touching this shit

If you're smart, pay up 6 months after Tannin has had the vaccine and is still around to collect ;)

On the contrary, European films are the ideal here because nothing happens. :P

Up here in NSW, no masks required :D

Had to go for a spin to Cobram this morning to get some stuff from Mitre 10, forgot that even in regional Victoria you have to wear a mask when you go into a shop. :roll:

Pretty sure it’s encouraged in NSW shops too, isn’t it? That’s what a Sydney friend told me, anyway.
