A couple of more mutations of this virus or a couple of more new more vicious viruses and the whole human race will need those suits to survive.

Yes -
I worry that the vaccines will never keep up with the mutations.
This way of life could be normal forever.

Indeed.

Anyone leaving school should look for a job in pharmaceuticals, mask manufacturing, and toilet paper deliveries.

People with weddings last weekend went into disarray and I have friends that work in the Yarra Valley wedding venues, telling me the brides to be, were in tears, as all arrangements of flowers and food gone to spoil due to sudden lockdown.
And then the special events due for this weekend ... all were waiting in sheer nervous nail biting anticipation, and yes... as they say... by their (politicians) habits we shall know them... we had such a long lockdown with “just a couple more weeks” announcements like ground hog day, that went on for months.

So you are using a sob story to cover for getting it wrong.

Anyone who organises anything like a wedding in the current circumstances is insane. I have no sympathy for them.
I certainly won't be organising anything major until the vaccine is rolled out and things return to normal

Victoria ‘can’t be trusted’ with hotel quarantine, disease expert says

An expert witness to Victoria’s hotel quarantine inquiry has called for the state’s rebooted quarantine program to be shut down, saying it can no longer be trusted to protect travellers, staff and the public following a string of infection control breaches.

“It’s sad to say this as a Victorian, but Victoria’s approach to quarantine appears to be placing the rest of the country at risk,” said Professor Lindsay Grayson, one of Australia’s leading infectious diseases experts.

No sob story...it’s actual facts....and no one knew until the announcement just now.... our Premier himself stated it from the beginning of this 5 day lockdown... that he couldn’t make any promises if it were only 5 days.....
Life goes on.... you can’t expect people to stop living ....If it’s a risk to expect the faulty Vic Premier to keep the virus in check as other states have done better, then what’s that saying about him? He’s the problem, not the people of Victoria.

As for waiting until the vaccine... is not 100% proven safe.
Putting faith in that should not allow any premier to be making stupid future choices RE: quarantine issues.
All I read between their lines are “trust me, I’m a politician”

I can't find any up to date numbers, but I read at the end of your last long lockdown when Vic didn't take any arrivals, NSW had processed more returned visitors than all the other states COMBINED.

A returned traveller blamed for spreading coronavirus through the Holiday Inn quarantine hotel by using a nebuliser is pushing for an independent review into his case as he does not trust the state government to investigate itself.

The returned traveller, who has chronic asthma, previously told The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald he was twice given permission by Victorian health authorities to use the medical device, which turns liquid medications into a fine mist that can be inhaled, while in quarantine.

This is despite nebulisers being banned for use in most Victorian hospitals, except in specially designed negative pressure rooms, after it was suspected to have fuelled serious outbreaks in Melbourne hospitals during the state’s second wave of coronavirus infections.

“I don’t trust the state level of government anymore, they’ve really killed my trust in this system,” the father of- one, who asked for his name not to be published to protect his family’s identity, said.

I was getting misinformation left, right and centre ever since we arrived at the first hotel.”

What I would like to know, is why NSW seem to keep quarantine situation under better control than Vic? Why our Premier hadn’t learnt anything better or is he too hard headed to take advice from another state’s example?

University student Dan is a multiculturalist, and he knows that ethnics can do no wrong, so while ethnics were spreading Covid around, he was still thinking they could do no wrong. That's why Vic had 800 deaths, and lockdowns now
