Think the economy will take precedence over health rightly or wrongly...Inflation has spiraled everywhere and the Ukraine war has sent energy prices skyward and created shortages.
I'm with LP and think you have to be proactive yourself and wear a mask, social distance etc if you feel vulnerable, the Government dont care anymore and wont be funding what they were previously in terms of assistance or providing the resources for CoVid clinics and you are on own even with testing.
Most governments now are in damage control with regards their economy and fearing recession, cash rates wont be coming back down to 0.1% ever again and the RBA started way too late in terms of raising rates to fight inflation and the Aus economy is going to suffer as will households meaning CoVid will be taking a back seat in terms of headlines.
I expect like LP and DJ that CoVid will spike again and next winter it will probably be a new strain and we will find hospitals stretched again and lots of people sick but it wont be making the headlines like it was and it will be silent epidemic.
