DIVIDED OVER POINTS IN COVID STRATEGIES

IN reply again to Kevin V Russell (GA 12/10). Thank you again for your perspective. I find that your response seems to indicate your political leanings. Business is being stifled locally and interstate as evidenced by the hospitality and beauty business owners (as an example) who continually have their livelihoods threatened on weekly (even hourly sometimes) basis by factually unsubstantiated lockdowns.

We in this state have been sold the line that once we are fully vaccinated we would have freedoms and this is clearly not the case. The 70 per cent double vaccinated “freedoms” are hardly freedom.

You clearly don’t have friends overseas who are enjoying life again and these people can’t understand the lack of unity in Australia. These people I am talking about have lived and worked here and thought we were a progressive nation capable of disseminating fact from the irrelevant case number stats we get fed every day.

The facts are that the hospitals are not overrun overseas because they are vaccinated (pretty much to the levels we are at right now).

Vaccinated people are going to work with Covid overseas.

The Australian state’s position is untenable and ultimately doomed as Covid will arrive eventually. Hopefully WA and Queensland are able to get vaccinated as they are the ones holding back vaccination numbers.

A simple definition via a Google search defines division as “the action of separating something into parts or the process of being separated”.

I am not sure how you believe that we as a nation are together or how someone as learned as you can’t understand my division point.

Again a national approach is needed. This has been my clear theme through all of these letters and I stand by it. There is risk opening up but risk exists in everything we do. I think we will just have to agree to disagree. David Hyland, Hamlyn Heights
