So Only Matter of Time before Lot of People Start Dying and we be back in Total Lockdown then?
As Expert sound like it Possible that we could get lot more Deadlier and Lot More Contagous in variant we have seen so far _________________ I am Da Man |

Mate, it's been nearly 2 years. Yeah a more virulent strain might come along but we'll have to deal with that if and when it does.
In the meantime QR code compliance has plummeted in Vic yet the Government still wants people to do it despite admitting that they aren't using it for contact tracing. People will comply with restrictions that make sense. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

QR Codes are Pretty Useless and only place that probably really need them are Hospitals and Age Care Centers.

QR code check ins were set up to support contact tracing, they aren't being used for that.
The secondary purpose was to enforce the "Vaccinated economy".
Aged care and Public Health are the 2 areas that need attention, yes. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

The Vaccinated economy did not even last a Month

I think that expert is just worried the government will think the pandemic is 100% over and will get lazy. We still have to be a bit cautious. _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

That makes more Sense.
I agree the Pandamic is not over Yet and We have no real Idea when it will End.
So still need to be Careful with Covid _________________ I am Da Man |

A month? You are still supposed to be fully vaccinated to get into pubs and cafes. I'm not sure about non essential retail as they stopped checking yonks ago. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

They have to keep some handles in place because it takes too long to wind the system up to measure what's happening and modify behaviour. That time delay would be deadly, and everyone knows it. Simple risk management. The handles are dumb, agree. But that's because culture war nutters ruined the simplest handle of all: standardised mask rules. The well of commonsense steps was poisoned long before the oddball mix of measures you see today.
It needs to be like Korea on high particulate days. A warning goes out and all kids have to wear standardised masks (except in this case the requirement has to be near-universal due to contagion). Sometimes, the yellow dust from inner Mongolia is so bad they have to shut schools. No sooking, toddler tantrums or self-entitled hysteria. But we can't get to that very simple place because governments keep trying to avoid being called 'totalitarian' by drooling Neanderthals or a reckless opposition.
If the response was sensible, its phase-out would also be sensible. But not to be; we're a culture of self-entitled morons who can't organise a church picnic without some twat throwing a tantrum to get his five minutes of attention on Instagram. _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

Sth Korea is less than half the size of Victoria geographically and is far more population dense. The logistics of provision and mandating masks just doesn't comare. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Fair enough, I reckon. Doesn't seem to be much point in keeping them around if they're no longer contact tracing. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |
