CV and mad panic behaviour

[dodge]

Yep.  And as Thry pointed out, these lockdowns are becoming much harder to cope with - his feedback from friends and colleagues is much the same as mine.

It is an abject failure of our politicians - particularly Feds.  National Cabinet is a ruse to deflect responsibility from Feds and force it to the states.  This is only going to have the states go political for their own survival - which they have done, to the detriment of the country.  The bun fight is ludicrous.  I don't care who is responsible (ultimately) for quarantine or securing vaccines.  Just get it done.  Don't market it, don't grandstand, just do it.  Be consistent, show us that the country is working together and give us solutions.

What is it that we have to do to 'learn to live with it'?  Wear masks - half the pickles don't anyway.  Socially distance - half the pickles don't anyway.  Restrict some elements of movement - half the pickles don't anyway.  How did Delta get to Vic?  Pickles in NSW that didn't do the right thing.  They are only randomly enforceable laws.

I'm jack of it - yet I'm also very lucky - I haven't suffered any financial set back, haven't lost any work or reduced hours (they have actually increased significantly, but I don't bill the extra).  I have lost some social contact, but that doesn't phase me too much.  The kids are starting to suffer from losing the social contact and extra curricular activities, the Mrs is taking 1/2 days annual leave, so she can help with school.  My full sympathies go to those that are suffering mentally, socially and financially.
