“My view is we need to get to a point where you are sick, you stay at home, if you’re not sick, you go to work and you go to school…“that’s living with COVID. And that’s where we need to get.” Dominic Perrotet, defining ‘living with the virus’. 🧵 /1 #auspol #covid19aus

You see the problem here is, Dom, that everybody is getting sick at once. And over and over and over. And being ‘sick’ isn’t the same as being symptomatic. Sending asymptomatically sick people back to school and work makes all the non-sick people there - wait for it - SICK. /2

Asymptomatically infected people are still sick. That’s why they’re isolating. I’m glad we’re now talking about sickness as a metric, rather than just deaths and hospitalisations. And when this latest idiot plan of yours simply accelerates sickness in the non-sick, we know…/3

…the tipping point has been reached. and we’re all now good cows for the Economy. /end
