Given that Howard Springs has multiple recently returned people returning positive Covid results would indicate quarantine is a necessary element of control.
but not necessarily either.
I concur – where DO you get your information from??????
We all wish quarantine wasnt neccessary & some dont believe it is & they are entitled to that view 100%.
What i would like to know is if the borders get thrown open & everybody who wants to can come & go freely & covid spreads like it has in other countries what do we do then?
Do we ignore the fact it is here,that is definitely an option as some dont believe it exists or causes illness/death.
For the pilots & many others who want their jobs back( they are not being selfish wishing for that) i just wonder how long those jobs will be there if covid cases are hundreds or thousands per day.
Do we want government control of the situation or should they just treat it like a bad flu.
