The privatised pandemic. If we still had widespread PCR testing, and if we followed the advice of ‘stay home if we’re sick’ during these mass waves of infection, society would be ‘locked down’ in the same way as when we did that to prevent infection. /1 #covid19aus #auspol https://t.co/V17vYLcytL

The anti-lockdown people didn’t remove lockdowns. They privatised them. We can’t live with a rampant pandemic virus. So we either restrict movement and gatherings to control it through public means, or private. /2

Telling people to stay home when they’re sick ‘locks them down’. If vast numbers of the population are infected/sick, and you tell them to stay home, that’s a ‘lockdown’, by their own definition. It’s taking people out of circulation. /3

The one appalling difference is that public health lockdowns keep people healthy. Privatised lockdowns still lock everything down, but everybody is infected and sick as well. You could not invent a more stupid thing. Literally nobody wins. /end
