No, everyone, everywhere thinks lockdowns suck. They have them because they thought it was better than the alternative. Not sure if it has though because they have gone on so long. The other states have done everything they can to keep kids in schools, businesses open and people getting incomes. We had 10 days total lockdown in my state since this started which I think were probably 10 more than we needed but they went on the information we had at the time. I have complete freedom of movement within my state and with most other states. See lots of active construction and people working and I can go to the shops, restaurants, bars and sporting events though they have some restrictions on density. Condolences to the families of people who have died from covid everywhere. Can't blame people for doing whatever they could to protect their local community but happy most of Australia avoided both covid and the hardships that went with fighting it. We were very fortunate.

The people who are meant to die from COVID will die when you open up again. By the way death is part of life as much as is birth. Without death we couldn’t live. We should be happy about people dying by natural causes rather than by guns or war. If anything, the more people die by a natural cause like COVID the better for the world, because imagine how much carbon we set off by every person less eating beef, driving a car or flying a plane. Lockdowns are the most ridiculous and inefficient stupid thing.

  > The people who are meant to die from COVID will die when you open up again. Absolutely not true. The lockdowns have bought my family and friends valuable time for them all to get vaccinated, despite our shithouse federal government vaccine drive. > By the way death is part of life as much as is birth. Without death we couldn’t live. A meaningless platitude. Why not take it to the logical conclusion and consider all medical care unnecessary? > If anything, the more people die by a natural cause like COVID the better for the world, because imagine how much carbon we set off by every person less eating beef, driving a car or flying a plane. wtf lol, it's possible to simultaneously address climate concerns whilst having a half-coherent pandemic response. Unless this is just antinatalism a few steps removed.

    > A meaningless platitude. Why not take it to the logical conclusion and consider all medical care unnecessary? Because context is not meaningless. Someone taking pills or getting antibiotics doesn't impact the health of others. But locking healthy young people up, depriving them from education, exercise, social contact and work does decrease their life expectancy in order to increase someone else's life expectancy. That is just pure evil.
