That is Good as don't want the Risk of People Dying and Getting Very Sick from being at Work.
Makes it Simple get Vaccinated or Be Stuck at Home not being able to do Much at all
Nah you can explain why you like picking arbitrary dates. 12 Sept, start of summer, 1 January.
You posted about deaths worldwide since last November. I answered with a comment about deaths Australia-wide since last September. You mentioned some irrelevant figures and asked if I was sure about what I'd said. I responded by taking you to one specific date in September of 2020 that demonstrated the correctness of that which I had stated. Thus, I wasn't saying anything about 12 September 2020 - I was merely drawing your specific attention to it because you didn't seem to comprehend my point.

Stuck at home not being paid too.
I don't have a problem in principle with it, but it's going to be a bastard to administer. Until the Public Health orders are posted on the DHHS website, business have nothing to work with and 2 weeks to deal with it. It's going to be a clustercluck.
There are a hard core group of people who for various reasons of their own refuse to get vaccinated. Businesses will have to stand them down or potentially sack them and that may mean they don't have enough staff to function safely.
Strikes me as a poorly enacted knee jerk reaction. It's easy to make decisions and pronouncements from the mount when you don't have to implement anything.
The wrong Premier resigned today.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Ok, I get you now.
Globally, we are over the worst of Delta. Countries that have opened up have weathered the worst of the spike in infections. Countries like us and Singapore are enduring their spike.
Vaccinations are doing there thing here. We have fewer deaths from a much higher infection rate than we did during Victoria's 2020 outbreak.
Haven't read the fine print, but you can see how this might help majorly:
Merck & Co.’s Covid-19 antiviral pill molnupiravir reduced the risk of hospitalization or death by 50% in an interim analysis of a late-stage trial, findings that could give doctors another potent virus-fighting tool.
...
Adding molnupiravir would give doctors a much simpler option to treat infected patients that could keep them from filling strained hospitals. Delta’s rise has taxed health systems across the country, especially in areas where vaccination rates are lower than average.

It's even easier to sit back in the cheap seats and critique when you've got no responsibility to make tough calls.
