No his point is the hypocrisy. Banning Australian Citizens from visiting dying relatives/funerals/weddings etc because of the "chance" of spreading Corona Virus, yet letting in a bunch of Tennis players, from Countries with large Corona Virus outbreaks, one of whom is still testing positive. Either it's a Public Health emergency or it isn't.
Let's be honest the current state of play with State Borders is going destroy all interstate RPT aviation if it goes on for another year.
Here here!!! Finally a voice or reason in amongst a thread of panic merchants. Nobody is looking at the health costs of increased mental health issues, people with cancers etc going undiagnosed, exponential increase in suicides globally, not to mention the immeasurable financial hit. Effing bureaucrats shutting down entire States and countries if there is just a whiff of a single person with the virus. FFS, enough of this ****. Protect the elderly as best you can and get on with life. Learn to live with it. The majority of people, over 98%, who get it survive!!! If you are a fat diabetic American or an oil loving cigarette smoking European then you are highly vulnerable and you only have yourself to blame. For the time being wash your hands, wear a bloody mask in public but get on with life. FFS
