BB: actually agree on this one!

And the media jumps on it like a seagull on a hot chip.

The rest of Australia views Sydney as a menace and a basket case. They refused to impose any restrictions until 2 weeks after everyone else. They still have a very limited lockdown with several retail outlets still open.
Nowhere else here has had any cases in the past week. The next few days will be interesting. Hopefully no more deaths but several young people are in hospital.

Can't believe I'm going to say this, but for once i agree with BB. As an Australian myself, the sensationalism in the media there is embarrassing. And I still don't understand why JT reposts so much Australian news on this site.

To be clear, I don't agree with the details of BB's post, but I do agree with the sentiment :)

None-the-less. The variant is on the loose in Australia. 40% of the population reside in Sydney & Melbourne.

It makes non-Australians feel better. Even Japan has now got its vaccination programme up to speed. Vaccinations are the way out of this.
The alternative - turning your country into a Russian doll of prisons within prisons and trying to hide from it is not a great idea. Lockdowns and restrictions are only of value to limit the hit on the health service until the vaccination rate is high enough.
Once the vulnerable are vaccinated, it's flu. Best avoided, so everyone who can get a jab should, but it's not Ebola.
Get vaccinated Australia, as fast as you can, and then open up again.

Did the 90 year old dear die of Covid or with Covid, there is a diffence?
