Australia has lost the plot a long time ago.
This is not the way to solve a pandemic. It is however a way to make your society much more fragile.
- greazy 5y agoThese lock downs are a proven tool to stop transmissionof covid. A multifaceted issue like the pandemic requires multiple approaches and this is how we have controlled the virus. And we have controlled it well.
- SpicyLemonZest 5y agoAre they a proven tool? The article says that "despite five weeks of lockdown, infections in the nation's largest city continue to spread".
- boatmansloth 5y agoNSW basically did a fake lockdown and took their sweet time in even getting to that point. Other states like Victoria and South Australia have locked down quick, hard, and within two weeks effectively eliminated community transmission.
- senectus1 5y agoWA says "yes" when you do it properly, and lock down hard and fast. this half arsed and poorly communicated bullshit is whats screwing NSW right now. not to mention the poor compliance.
- ThomPete 5y agoThey are a proven tool if you want to isolate yourself from the rest of the world yes and live on an island so you can. They are not a proven tool for actually dealing with the endemic nature of this virus. Australia will realize sooner or later that they can't actually avoid getting most of their population exposed to covid.
