Good people:  I sent two reactions to Russell's posting to luv-talk 
because I thought my comments were further from luv-main's topic mandate
than was Russell's original post.  They _might_ be topical enough, here;
I was trying to err on the side of good netiquette.

At this point, I was intending to reference them by URL, but it appears
that Web links to Mailman3's Postorius archiver are now broken(?).  
Starting from https://www.luv.asn.au/faq/ , I cannot navigate to
archives any more.  (The broken links I noted in the FAQ earlier are
also still broken.)

Quoting Brian May ([email protected]):

I commend LUV's caution, in this regard -- being concerned not just
about breakthrough infection, but also children, the immunosuppressed,
and the remaining unvaccinated.

As a distant foreigner, I will refrain from advising, but I will mention
(as I did in one of my luv-talk postings) that my local LUG here in
Silicon Valley, along with several other San Francisco Bay Area LUGs,
has had good success with "hybrid" outdoor meetings interacting with
remote participants who're on Jitsi Meet.  In-person attendees are
required to bring proof of vaccination.  Example announcement:

As the weather improves (becomes drier) in Vic., perhaps that will 
become more feasible, and could be pondered as to whether it would be
wise (if local infection prospects have improved enough).


Should I cross-post back to this thread my comments on luv-talk?
Some of it concerned a modelling tool (https://www.microcovid.org/)
for realistically quantifying COVID-19 risk for possible activities.
