A “crisis” created by policy

 

While, rarely mentioned: in all countries that are “living with the virus” Omicron cases are plunging as are 7-day average deaths. 

This is a “crisis” our government has created by its Zero Covid policy. The retail industry is losing $10 billion a month. 3% of GDP. All to save lives of >80 year olds who are  not vaccinated. And who could have been vaccinated if the government had done right a year and a half ago (eg, made the $6,000 give away last year contingent on being vaccinated — many of us suggested that to the five emend but were ignored). Own goal, much?
