THE VIRUS 2020 - the good, the bad, and the ugly

UK are ending their restrictions on July 19. They are going to learn to live with COVID. Masks are not compulsory but recommended. Most of population have had their first vaccine dose.

I fear it is going to be a big disaster over there in the next couple of months with this strategy. I feel for the NHS staff who have been working to exhaustion over the past year and a half.

Surely it’s just going to make the hospital and staff overwhelmed???

Interesting the demographic of the BBB forums or who at least posts in this thread is quite different to other Australian forums I visit. Seems members of the other states don’t have much sympathy for NSW at the moment.

I think it's just a very vocal minority here.

Seriously though, who gives a crap about other states and countries?

I only save my criticism for Victoria as that is where I am from.

It will be interesting to watch the UK’s strategy. Most likely if successful Australia will follow when most of our population is vaccinated next year.

Seems majority of people here want to live with COVID and not lock down so the UK seems to be adopting that strategy.

Closing borders when I have trips booked, when family and friends are interstate etc. Circumstances like that.

I applaud the QLD Premier and the CHO on their AstraZeneca anti-vaxxing views for under 40’s though.

Oh, I'm pretty sure I remember you complaining about anything Queensland covid related, but that might just be my poor memory.

So does this mean I can complain about NSW because I live ten minutes from their border and sometimes visit the tweed library?

Depends. Based on my logic? Is their border open to you? If yes, then you shouldn’t because it doesn’t effect you.

I'm sure you don't really mean that. I think EVERYONE is sympathetic to the NSW people at this time but they are critical of the handling of the latest outbreak by their government and that is fair enough. I think we've all been critical of that here too. The same as we have been critical of decisions made by Vic and Qld over the past 18 months...unfortunately, very few have handled this pandemic perfectly and I suppose it's impossible to do so...but maybe it could all of been handled a bit better in hindsight.

I am certain about one thing though...I would not like to be a leader of a state or the nation at this time (or ever for that matter!)
