That death toll may well be cheaper than having the nations biggest city locked down. Read this morning the Sydney lockdown

$220,000,000 per day! Victoria is $150,000,000. At $5.0M per life (for a healthy young adult) that's 44 deaths per day (NSW) and 30 Vic equivalent cost - assuming every death is a healthy, young(ish) taxpayer, not some old duck in their 80's or 90's like the vast majority have been and who are now, mostly, vaccinated.
How long until someone decides it's worth it?
No matter if "they" do,
SHVC is spot on with his assertion:
Our inept prime minister can’t and won’t have that conversation. Zero is the number most of these premiers want. I bet lord McGoose won’t accept anything above zero even with 100% vaccination rate.
They have set this unrealistic goal and now have to stick to it, having built their entire reelection campaigns on the "But only
I kept you safe!" mantra - which the UK is showing to be a false prophecy.
Despite vaccinations,
despite lockdowns, you will still have cases, you will
still have deaths. The goal of absolute zero Covid, while admirable, is like zero fatalities in flying, It's a target, a wish, we all
aspire to achieve it, but it'll never happen.
