I think Australia is sleepwalking into something it just isn't seeing. Right now it thinks the opening up plans of 70 and 80-% are great, because they think it'll be just more of what they have right now, with extra freedoms. Here's an example of how I think that's so dangerously delusional. My workplace was closed all last week, because of a Covid case. It's the main administrative building for an entire country town. One case. When Gladys throws open the State at 70% and 80% there are going to be tens and even hundreds of THOUSANDS of infections in the community. She's not denying it, this is the National Plan. The delusion is 'vaccines will keep us all safe'. Only half the State will be vaccinated when it's opened. Only half will have had the opportunity to be vaccinated, this isn't about vaccine hesitancy. Thousands every DAY will become infected, many of them children. Thousands of VACCINATED people will become infected. If you think life can be normal again because of vaccines, think about something like whooping cough. Most of us are vaccinated. I am, still caught it a few years ago. I was forced to isolate, and rightly so, it's a shit of a disease, even when vaccinated. Now where do people think all of these *thousands* of infected Covid people will be every day? At work, at school, in the shops? Of course not, I mean some will be because they won't even know they're infected. But they'll have to isolate. What happens when thousands of people have to isolate every day? Things stop running. Schools stop functioning, businesses lose key workers. Businesses have to close for Covid cleaning. Etc. The place SHUTS DOWN. Now what was the point of opening up, only to then force everything to shut down again? No point, none. It's beyond stupid. The only other option is to do a US and UK, and just not care, and allow people to become infected and die in their thousands. (And you little 'alarmism' nellies out there, this is IN the national opening up plan. Go read it.)
