Great piece Tim. The positives you highlight in the Australian experience are real and we should recognise them more often.

Excellent piece Tim, thanks. I can really relate this to what seems to be happening in Melbourne which looks to me like a lot of people have decided to ignore the health orders when these interfere with their daily lives too much. This is a view gained from walking around the area

I’m living in - St Kilda East/Balaclava - which has slowly rising case numbers but no exposure sites. Lots of people aren’t wearing masks and there’s a lot of “dick noses”. Many large groups of people ( > 6) in the parks socialising and not wearing masks.

We really have gone down a silly path in our discussion of "freedom". Interesting story about your friend! There was a piece in The Age the other day I'm thinking of responding to at Patreon. Will link if I end up doing it.
