Yeah im no expert on this but that is why i posted asking for peoples thoughts. I left his conference thinking 'geez his the first politician ive heard say Lockdown doesn't work' I've heard some say they dont want to go as far as that i but i hadn't heard one say that it didn't work.
You definitely get the feel that Sco Mo has an eye for the future economy as well as current dangers more than most other politicians around the world. If i am brutally honest i don't 100% disagree with it. I hate talking like this but how many deaths are acceptable if it means we dont **** the financial future for the next generation of kids. Tough question that doesn't sit comfortably in the heart but one that a Prime Minister probably needs to look at.
I also get a feel Sco Mo is more tolerant to allow risk to an older generation than he would be if this was affecting kids which in its own right is an extremly complex morale debate.
My average mug punters feel:
Italy, France, South Korea, NZ- Do what it takes right now to eliminate Coronovirus at any financial cost, we will find a way to survive the recession. Every death is one to many.
Australia, England- We have an appetite for a slightly higher death rate if it means the country is financially stable.
I get the same feels. I understand we're behind Italy, France etc in terms of cases and time, but I do wonder if it keeps spreading at current rates whether ScoMo's position will change.
Our school is completely out of hand sanitiser stores at the minute and can't get any more until whenever Woolies can get it here, my classroom has none after running out today. If it gets in here it'll get around quickly.
I get we are behind them at the moment but cant understand how we cant see what history has shown us multiple times so far. The baby step approach does nothing to slow down the infection rate.
I was happy to accept the government may have been wanting to bring citizens home, allow businesses to prepare and understand their requirements etc before doing the lockdown but after Sco Mo's conference today a lockdown sees miles away.
Im the first to admit i think this is somewhat of a slight over-reaction and im the first to admit as a father of 3 children with only one living grandparent i lean towards to protecting our childrens future.
BUT if locking us down for 2 weeks, working from home for that period is significantly going to reduce the numbers of deaths im more than happy to get it done. It's not a big consequence for me despite my personal feelings to make if it means multiple lives are saved. Lets lockdown, get it sorted and get back on with living life.
