I would never have thought our society would end up ruined, divided fighting each other and on our knees like this! Oddly enuf not from wars, not from some Virus that 99% of people who get it recover from or even from an alien attack but from an evil force right under our noses, the silent killers the corrupt grubby Govt hell bent on destruction!
We are doomed for the foreseeable future!
Unfortunately the uneducated fools can't even do the math with Australia currently running at about 2.5% death rate. Which would boost that number to 325,000... but of course they don't give a dam about other people as long as it's not them. 932 deaths vs 36,000 cases equals about 2.6% death rate, to equate that to your daily life that's one 1 in 40 chance of dieing from it. Long covid being about 15% which means your taxes would have to foot long term medicare and disability payments for another 2 million possibly for the rest of their life span. And the possible loss of their productivity, adds up to some big economic downsides.

Also on the last point, WA has proven that with no virus they are doing pretty well economically with numbers all up on 2019. Compare that to the UK where GDP is still almost double figures in the red from 2019 figures.
