In recent days we've had the Prime Minister and Premier of NSW asked if they would support further quarantining, if outbreaks get out of hand. Both said the same thing - 'we can't keep turning the lights on and off'. We should be VERY AFRAID of this answer, because turning the lights on and off as required IS what a suppression strategy does, the strategy National Cabinet chose. So they're now saying they're not even going to bother following it, the economy has triumphed, as it has in the UK and US. We should be extra afraid because when pressed on this question, what did they answer? 'Our hospitals are ready'. It really annoys me that not even journalists are calling this stuff out, are we all asleep at the wheel?
