I have and do get that, but in my opinion it was a measured response.
How do you do a measured response just for the affected? What lock the oldies down forever until a vaccine is found and let everyone else crack on as usual lol.
Basically at the start, 1500 a day were dying at the peak. Hospitals were overwhelmed. That didn't happen in Australia. but it did here.
Only solution was to lock everyone down and it worked
Summer 2020, I went on hols. Cases were virtually zero.
Only problem is the fucker came back and even more people were dying by Jan 21 so we locked down again for 8 weeks.
March 21 vaccines rolled out and we gradually opened up.
not sure how else that could have panned out tbh
I get that Australia has over reacted and dragged it out way too long but I won't criticise our government as I think they did the right thing.
