pretty obvious the authorities are of the same mind as chameleon, she'll be right, most are doing the right thing.

Sadly you are either misrepresenting my views or simply don't understand them. I,m certainly not taking a " She'll be right " attitude and neither are our governments. I am taking an informed, intelligent approach based on evidence and fact rather than scaremongering and social media hyperventilation so common in much of the public discussion on the subject.

I carry hand sanitiser and use it EVERY time I go to the shops or other public places.   I wash my hands every time I return to the house. I usually pack my own lunch when travelling to the farm, rather than regularly stopping at my local bakery and are not engaged in any social meetings or activities at present. Basically I take sensible precautions in line with Government advice.

I also accept that there may well come a time when I and many others will become infected by the virus and while I,m not looking forward to it, I accept the necessity of younger, fitter people " taking one for the team"  in order to protect older and immune deficient people. We simply cant keep older Australians imprisoned in their homes for several years without any contact from family and support services while we wait for a vaccine to be developed and commercially available.

The Governments approach of sensible, controlled, managed infection is the only scientifically based, large scale, realistic way to gain control of the virus and eventually allow older Australians and society in general to resume some sense of normality.
