#covid19 #auspol in clear and deliberate violation of Godwin's law, imagine if during WW2 it all seemed a bit hard, and we decided to adopt a 'live with the Nazis' strategy. Let's give up on this defeating them thing, we need our holidays back. /1

Metrics could be devised, along the lines of how many Nazis we can have circulating, with thresholds above which we would start shooting them again. And/or leave them be, so long as they only put a manageable number of us in hospital. /2

Sounds ridiculous? Remember again that pandemics kill orders of magnitudes more people than wars do. They're a far greater threat. And yet the 'live with the virus' variant is still winning, trying to persuade us that the solution here.../3

...isn't to defeat this foe, but to live with it. Appease it. Have it join us in all of our family and social transactions, but with better manners. Like those people who keep tigers as pets, and then one day the tiger mauls them to death. /4

At what point will we wake up and say to those so desperate for a return of the status quo, get some backbone mate? Fight this fucker. I don't want it, my kids don't want it, let's put our boot on its neck and hold it there until it expires. /5

Heck, you'll get your Excel-generated mythical 'Economy' back at the same time. /end
