I would have thought WA is just about the most extreme. The fact he tries to limit his attack to 1 State suggests he's following military doctrine of not opening up wars on multiple fronts. Trying to otherise 1 State is pretty shabby from a public health advocate. Lots of politics going on here, is this something to do with Canberra being stuck in the middle of NSW?

Bit like the cricket, its easier to get a game in the test team if you play for NSW....of course Dangerous Dan being hardcore Labor doesnt help either and you have ScoMo looking after his Liberal lacky in Gladys..

Don't think New South Wales folk are as forgiving as Victorians. Lord of the flies moment.

For a small nation Iceland have a very good and modern free health care system. Family friend did a teacher exchange position for 12 months there and said its a very well run country.

Terrific article, thank you Wing Man MAV, very real important information can be easily gleaned from what is happening there.
I've had the thought for a while now that masks will become a part of our lives for some time to come. The apparent dramatic reduction in seasonal the flu suggests the effectiveness of masks and social distancing.
I think most of us know that the vaccinations won't have an enormous impact on transmissiblility (but masks/distancing etc., do) but do have an important impact on severity of symptoms once infected - this was my primary reason for getting vaccinated, to lessen symptoms therefore aiding me to remain working and not ending up a burden on the hospital system.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Yes no doubt, the issues of long COVID-19 are really just starting, the need for effective treatments should be a priority but it is not getting the political attention it needs. Long COVID-19 has no age barriers.
The two sets of interviews below are worth listening to, they are interviews of doctors in the UK who also happen to be COVID-19 patients, a bit dark in spots but they also have some very positive moments. Twenty somethings should be listening to these stories.
