All borders to reopen.
Judging by the crowds at various sporting events being conducted right now, it does seem that South Australians seem to be particularly spooked by the virus. It makes sense as the two largest cities have effectively been living with this for the last two years albeit with some restrictions. Rest of the country are just going through a cognitive adjustment. And yes, the media is the main culprit here.
[QUOTE=Icarus2001;11173977]Well here is that impact….
And our impact has little to do with illness and death as a consequence of any virus. anyway I've said all I can, do or don't do.

Are you suggesting that there is no causal connection between the outcomes described in those graphs and the mitigation strategies such as vaccinations and lockdowns? To put this question another way, are you suggesting that the graph would be the same without any vaccinations, lockdowns or other actions?
Nothing to fear but fear itself .
Car accidents , pneumonia, smoking , bad food , suicide, all kills and we accept this as part of living . We will come to accept covid is just another thing that can get us especially as we age or get sick . The anguish of deciding to allow it be part of life is really a big problem much bigger than covid will ever be .

The last year(ish) has been a fairly clear demonstrator that a teacher is more likely to transmit the virus in a school setting than students.
Good try!

Because the vaccine prepares the immune system for the virus, and means there is a much lower chance of hostpitilisation and death. Those stats are incontravertible. That you would make this statement is unbelievable.
No, we don't. We spend billions mitigating the risks of car accidents, From traffic laws to design standards to licencing and enforcemment. We restrict peoples freedom in order to save as many ilves as practical. The same with food standards and mental health measures. We have made huge efforts to reduce the risk from smoking.We don't let ANY activity with that kind of risk just "let rip".

All correct , I’m not saying don’t put a seatbelt on I’m not saying drink to excess or take up smoking . Of course we try to reduce deaths and protect the vulnerable. Get vaccinated , reduce exposure and keep good hygiene but accept there will be infections and deaths like we accept there will be deaths from car accidents and smoking and get on with living .
We don't accept road deaths, or smoking deaths, which is why we have ever reducing road speeds, and ridiculous slow points to reduce the average speed of traffic. Smoking will most likely be banned by 2030, with some nations already banning it for age groups. Sugar and fatty foods will be the next agenda. Why, because it all comes down to how much cost we are prepared to accept to fund the health system and aged care vs freedom of choice. You wonder why not alcohol, well at present its widespread use for recreation prevents much measures against it, however the forces are already at work to curb that. Prohibition showed that for drugs of addiction curbing general use when it's accepted by the community is just too difficult for sudden changes.
