Lockdowns do impact on everyone, especially businesses, students and many workers... and agreeing with an earlier sentiment they are necessary to insulate the hospitals from being swamped until vaccination rates are high enough, like childhood vaccines need to be to reduce or eliminate things like whooping cough and measles. We already have states unable to do elective and non-urgent surgeries, blowing out already long waiting lists, and states like QLD had all this time to increase resources at hospitals ready for borders to be opened in the next few months and they know that living with covid means a certain amount of daily cases, which will result in people in hospital.
