World - 433,648, dead and that numbers is increasing and odds on under reported with countries getting into 2nd waves.

Australia - 102

What don’t you get here? Other than the Pacific bubble there will be no international travel without a 14 day pay for yourself quarantine stay. The numbers speak for themselves. What Australia and NZ did worked, what rational mind would think we should just chuck it away now so pilots get to fly big jets any time soon?
I agree - the trouble is, that ship sailed months ago, sadly: I believe both Italy & Spain introduced similar measures, but already too late. The 14 day quarantine here seems pretty pointless now, particularly with so many exceptions to try & rebuild the economy; it feels like window dressing, rather than science..
