looks like game over. You’d better stay home
for the rest of your life.
No. Not so.
We'll try this one more time.
Vaccination substantially reduces the risks of a) infection b) serious illness and c) death.
Widespread vaccination is expected to substantially reduces the incidence of transmission.
When those pre-requisites have been achieved, then and only then, can you expect that the populace will be likely to accept relatively low levels of infection, illness and death.
There is not a country that has yet managed to achieve the above combination.
Australia is not within the proverbial coo-ee of doing so.
