australia's covid plan has been almost completely reactive lately, our politicians say we couldn't possibly do the things that have been proven to work and then eventually have to cave in and do them anyway 3 weeks after they would have had the most impact

i'm glad we're not in the situation of the really fucked countries but it's still deeply frustrating when everyone knows what we need to and when to do it but the government always has to wait for their previous plan to fail first

the one time they did crack down hard and fast was on a bunch of poor people living in public housing. makes u think
