That argument is one that can be followed until the appropriate data is gathered and measurable. We have much better information about COVID, the prophylactic cost, the ongoing mental health cost, and the ongoing risk profile to warrant a review of our approach to dealing with this risk. Thats what I want done.

Personally, I think your argument is built on a disregard for the effects of lockdown, you seem to be asserting that the low cases numbers are a sign that lockdown is not needed and not an effect of lockdown. To me this is a confusion of cause and effect, the order of events matter.
No, my argument is built on the premise and factual data that shows we are ruining many lives trying to save few lives.
Thats the same argument being mounted for vaccinating against Covid too by the way. You know the one you are advocating based on the data that we might potentially ruin few lives trying to save the many (so to speak) which means we should vaccinate.
Dont worry about wars. This isnt about war.
I dont need to be right, I want to challenge my own thinking here, which is why I am asking such questions on a footy forum, devoid of the emotive arguments you get from people who take this all very personally and dont add enough balance to their arguments.
