Home recovery is now the default for vaccinated people up to the age of 69 who test positive.
Case numbers have risen dramatically but serious cases have remained at a manageable level and the ICUs are at about 10% capacity with COVID patents.
For those under 60, fully vaccinated, without major health issues, the risk is very minimal.
Since the start Australia has had 1,162 deaths.
Deaths below 50 years old = 19 male and 5 female, that is a total of 24 deaths under 50.
That just over doubles at below 60 to a total of 61 deaths.
