We got the idea into our heads that once we'd got through a couple of months of lockdown, we'd revert blissfully back to life as we'd known it. There were only two states of being. Locked down or set free. Serving time or party time. A bit like the concept of earthly life followed by entry into heaven. The sufferings and tribulations of this life will give way to eternal happiness.

"All you need is a couple of cases to get away and all of a sudden you have a hell of a problem on your hands," says Peter Doherty, patron of the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity.

"Meaning that 98 per cent of the human population is still vulnerable – it's got an infinite way to run before we get a vaccine," he tells me.
The architect of Sweden's policy says no, it did not do the right thing. The country's top epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, last month conceded that too many Swedes had died: "Clearly, there is potential for improvement in what we have done in Sweden."

A Church in Epping has in fact a clever design for the transition to afterlife. Recently approved by the Greater Sydney Commission, an artificial planning layer created by the NSW government in the pre-Corona period. It's staffed by bureaucrats with a business-as-usual mindset
Yet NSW let a teenager off a plane from the US without being told to quarantine for 14 days. No fever check or testing done. Thankfully, the responsible parents are organising for their child to be tested. What happens when this happens to an irresponsible person?
They seek it here, they seek it there. 'Cause it's like a dedicated follower of fashion. As with latest annual flu virus it goes out of fashion & is replaced by a latest fashion. Must be time to address people shaping up (with strong immune systems), to wear the newest fashions.

Any real news about? Sky 'News' host Alan Jones says don't sweat it. Everyone's over reacting. The Murdoch media business model,. of which Sky News Australia is part, that foments culture wars so it can get loyal followers on its side, is a huge factor in this. Which is why we should cancel Foxtel accounts and call Sky News out on its bullshit
