I know we will have to open up eventually but it upsets me when people are calling for open borders when we haven’t even got most of our population vaccinated and even when vaccinated a lot of people are still going to die.
Some people are damn impatient.
It’s only year 2 in a pandemic. These things take time to manage. It would have been thoughtful if there was more consideration and time for the vulnerable. Some people thought when it struck midnight to 2021 that the pandemic was suddenly going to be over. Pandemics don’t run on a time schedule.
There’s the thing though - do we really need to open up the international borders? That is where the catastrophe will start. I think Australia will head down the same path as Israel though where most of those in hospital will be the vaccinated.
Personally, I am happy to isolate until this whole pandemic blows over.
