Well, except for all those that died and will die of covid of course...

Have any country’s implemented that or are they all still updated on worldometer daily?

Is that suggestion even possible?

Exactly. And the people who will suffer for years with long covid and damaged lungs, etc.

It’s funny watching zero covid zealots cling to long covid to prolong this overreaction. Long covid is massively overstated in the media. For most people it is a mild post viral syndrome, certainly not a significant public health issue and most certainly not something that justifies widespread restrictions on society. You are quite insane.

I think it would still be reported, but not a daily press conference and dog and pony show we currently have.

It's just the dumbest point, but typical of the poster. If someone had lost an arm, he'd be berating them for their lack of faith about it growing back in a month or two.

This won't ever be under control. Sydney is going to be the Australian guinea pig of "Let it rip and let's live with the virus"

The only thing that's going to help is vaccination.

It's pathetically weak - outside of the Western LGAs you are free to go wherever you want - the 10/5K thing is not being enforced from what I can see.

Walking the dog (as my alloted 1hr of exercise) it's really frustrating seeing hordes of people walking in large groups - it's supposed to be 2 max). Personal Trainers are working unmasked with clients everywhere.

It's really no surprise why it's spreading

That is not what is happening over my way - it's very quiet out, traffic is pretty minimal. All the non-food/drink/consumables shops are shut for the duration. I have a click & collect later today, so I'll see how Friday afternoon looks, but it seems like we have more law abiding citizens in this locale. We also have the biggest vaccination % rate in the state, or did a few days ago. These things may be connected.

Vic weren't even allowed click and collect during the strictest part of last year's lockdown.

Are people clueless or selfish?

I mean, I know we've got an outbreak here in SEQ but it really does feel like everyone is f**king ON IT. Like they know it's short term pain for gain. I'm honestly confident that we'll be out of lockdown in a week.

This could come back to chew my arse but that's the vibe I'm getting.
