“The ‘let it rip’ approach is creating major issues in our health system, with people under such enormous pressure,” he told reporters. 

The approach, he added, “is tearing communities apart. That’s the truth.”

Let it rip, those vulnerable stay home, those that go out or unvaccinated take the risk head on, should be same Thailand. Mild or no symptoms people stay home, family can move to hotel for a week or stay with relatives

It got so bad the supermarket's shelves are bare and empty now and even KFC running low on chicken supply, imagine that... but now that the Novak issue is settled, hopefully the government will have time to manage the pandemic better...

Supermarkets where I live in the Noosa area (Queensland) do have some empty shelve space, which is increasing daily. Masks are mandatory for shopping, GP practices etc A number of restaurants and shops have had to close for seven days due to Covid infection / staff close contact. Since opening interstate borders Queensland has had a massive increase with Covid infections. Yesterday there were 50+ deaths in Oz due to Covid. It is forecast the peak for Omicron infections is near in Oz and will rapidly reduce, but expected to pick up again later this year; presumeidly another variant.

Well im so sorry for you up there in the sunshine state but living in the longest lockdown on the planet glad someone else is feeling it instead....we do have bulletproof people walking around here no masks in and around shops, there stop making it compulsory in many places to check in....so were getting confident yet if some one has to die wish it were the maskless.....
