What I would say is the need for balance. I see an Australian government spokesman has censured Qantas today regarding reopening of international routes on July 1... the government saying you can come in when we’re ready. It seems to be getting needlessly political.
Does closing an internal border for the sake of 8 cases benefit more than having managed risk? Because the vaccine doesn’t eradicate 100%.
Hope you guys are doing ok over there,seems quite messy at the moment.
Do you wish your government had closed borders for longer or put other measures in place to try & stop it spreading or are the majority pretty ok with what the government has done so far?
Always good to get an opinion from somebody looking at us from the outside so to speak.
