Despite a lot of the scaremongering the re-open will happen just as quick as the closing. Keeping in mind the lockdown and restrictions was all about flattening the curve not 100% annihilation. (that seems to have been somewhat lost, once we started flattening the curve people started talking about zero cases etc, it was never about having zero cases) Now that the curve is starting to flatten very quickly the onus will be on those vulnerable to take their own individual steps and measurements to ensure their own safety.

The government simply cant print the money or find the ways to recoup the trillions a 6-12 month lockdown will cost. My business alone is eligible for around $600,000 job keeper funding per week and we are only a small blip in the country.

Travel and border rules will be the last restrictions to be lifted and for international travel in particular that could be 12 months or longer down the track.

More than 100 economists warn against prematurely loosening coronavirus restrictions

New figures from the Grattan Institute suggest social distancing rules could mean up to one in three Australians – 3.6 million people – will lose work in the weeks to come.

But leading economists are urging Prime Minister Scott Morrison to continue shutdown restrictions, warning “a second-wave outbreak” would be even worse for our future job prospects.

It follows growing calls to lift restrictions on individuals and to get businesses back up and running as the national coronavirus infection rate slows.

In an open letter, signed by more than 100 experts by Monday morning, economists have slammed the view that there is a “trade-off between the public health and economic aspects of the crisis”.

“We cannot have a functioning economy unless we first comprehensively address the public health crisis,” the letter states.

“We recognise that the measures taken to date have come at a cost to economic activity and jobs, but believe these are far outweighed by the lives saved and the avoided economic damage due to an unmitigated contagion.

“We believe that strong fiscal measures are a much better way to offset these economic costs than prematurely loosening restrictions.”


In a new report released early Monday morning, the Grattan Institute also called for fiscal stimulus policies to get Australians back into shops at the end of the pandemic.

“Direct cash transfers to households could boost spending, accelerating the pace of economic recovery,” the report reads.

“Failing to provide that support will condemn many Australians to a long and deep recession, harming their long-term economic potential.”

I actually dont disagree with a lot of that.

I just find it very interesting that a lot of the people who were staunchly very pro lockdown were calling for it on the basis we needed to flatten the curve and help the health care system out.

Now that we have started to do that a lot of those people are calling for 'we must have zero cases.' Once we get to zero cases or near enough the talk will be about the common flu and lets just see the flu season out which is a completely different argument to the Covid virus. Not only have we flattened the curve, we have gone as far as putting nurses out of a job.

Australia is doing a great job but my concern is this rapidly merging a Covid crisis into a flu crisis. You can already start to see that is happening.

I bloody hope we don't get over 450 cases of the flu in SA this year. Imagine the carry on if that was the case.
