> because there are 50 positive cases in a nation of millions
Australia is currently experiencing 1500 daily case of COVID with some 30,000+ cumulative case since the start of this last outbreak which is now some two months old.
> Nothing makes sense here.
Firstly only three of the seven states and territories are in lock down.
Four states and territories are experiencing zero cases and for them life is very close to normal.
However, the reason two states are now in lock down is because, as a developed country, Australia is last in terms of vaccination roll out.
And it is not only last, it is last by a long way.
There are only two ways to deal with COVID:
1. Lock down until the vaccination numbers improve
2. Open up and let the virus rip and hope the hospital system can cope with the increased demand.
NSW is currently in lock down (i.e. option 1) and even with these strict rules in place the health system is not coping well, as it struggles with the uptick in COVID hospitalizations.
The simple fact is Australia stuffed up the vaccination roll out and we are now paying the price for that mistake.
