Covid woes - virtual lockdowns

 My 4 January post, Covid woes - further failures in public policy, provided a personal perspective on what I saw as the growing mess that Australian covid policy had become. Two pieces in the Conversation provide a further perspective:

Last year, the term stroll-out was added to the Australian lexicon to describe the early stages of the vaccine roll-out in the country. Now we have virtual lockdown, the idea that current Government measures have created the same effect as previous physical lockdowns. Our leaders wanted to open up, but in bungling the approach they have effectively closed or at least slowed both economic and social activities.
