Just on this BT...aged and frail people , fully vaccinated are dying. What else can be done?
They are the victims of nature. Very sad, but so is every death, expected or not.
The aged and frail can't be locked up in isolation indefinitely...nor can the rest of us.
We drive the roads daily and thousands of us die.
We smoke, sun bake, take drugs, etc etc....it is unfortunately a fact of human life and frailty.
I understand your point but the fact is that people are choosing to take matters into their own hands, staying at home and avoid public places shows that in general we're not interested in catching the virus and getting sick, let alone putting our loved ones at risk.
While there might be the odd story of these crazy "Covid parties", the financial data reflects the majority sentiment, and that is to avoid catching this virus at the expense of business. Funny how we don't hear much from the gym owners and restauranteurs who were so desperate to open back up again. Isn't this what they all wanted?
As a wave of Omicron infections wreaks havoc across workplaces and the healthcare system, the data suggests many Victorians are voting with their feet and staying close to home.

There are things that our government could have done to help slow down the spread and minimise the death rates. N95 masks, RAT's, keep some density restrictions in public settings. And historically, source a greater variety of vaccines and earlier than they did and prepare private aged care for inevitable outbreaks. But sadly the federal governemnt don't do risk management, it's not their style.
