Next time it hops the border, and there will be a next time, everyone who has been at the supermarket the same time as a case won't have to be isolated for 14 days as happened last time.
Pretty good trade off and of course prevention better than a cure

Wait a sec last time we had an outbreak it was the Greek Restaurant and the winery where all the cases were found two places would not be required to be worn for the majority of time.
They weren't finding cases link at the local woolworths.

Hit the hay around 8pm and usually, as bad sleeper, I wake 2 or 3 times a night, went through from just after 8pm to 5:50am when the alarm went off.

Not comparing to the Spanish flu and other viruses, but yes, the containment route we have taken in Australia, only to ultimately need to allow the virus to run through the community 18 months later has elongated the problem.
The argument defending the authorities would be that 18 months has allowed people to become vaccinated, and therefore decreased the impacts once the virus does run through the community.

No idea.
The spanish flu killed 50m people, out of a world population of 2B, so 2.5% of the world's population.
Covid has killed 4.6m people, out of a world population of 7B, so 0.065% of the world's population.
So was the spanish flu 38 times more deadly? (Noting Covid will knock off a few more people before we are done).
Or have the preventative measures we've introduced saved 37 out of every 38 expected deaths.
The truth? No one will ever know.

Good post. I think you are correct re the preventive measures.
I just want it over.
