    Interesting but it seems CBD is returning back to being busy pretty rapidly. I have not seen Sydney and Brisbane CBDs that busy in a long while. Especially, Brisbane CBD. Memory is hazy but it looks almost 80-90% pre pandemic levels. Some employers are retuning workforce back to the office as well.

    In another anecdote, chatted to a mate who works for transport and he mentioned trains are the busiest he seen in years.

    CBD back? Commercial property next? WFH scaled will be scaled back?

    I can just tell by the number of cars and trucks on the road and also the foot traffic around shopping malls, that things are getting back to nformal.

    Our non-CBD office is closed at least until March. It's still a trip too far.

    March? Wow your employer is flexible. Ours first said December. Postponed to January. Postponed to February. Now March and it doesn’t seem like it will be postponed anymore…

    I haven't seen an update but it's been postponed a couple of times, so I'm only assuming it's March but with 2 weeks to go & no feedback who knows.

    The next variant has the symptom of short term memory loss.

    The ppl you see are unwell, and need a RAT. They should be at home, but forgot.
