The disruption of sectors of society pales in comparison to the disruption caused by over the top reactions from the governments.
The one size fits all approach is a magnificent example of why centralised planning is an abject failure.
The closure of artificial borders when those borders had little or no bearing on the day to day lives of those living along it is a prime example.
Stupid comments like the QLD premiers statement that Queensland hospitals are for Queenslanders. Creation of artificial bubbles along border towns with ridiculous unwieldy systems in place. Checkpoints in regional areas manned by out of area police or military personel who had no idea where towns where making the queues longer. The forcing and enforcing of curfews on swathes of the population for no discernable benefit. The ridiculous notion that each state had to approve various treatments, RAT tests, and border entry protocols.
The locking up of the elderly when in many cases their only reason to even stay alive was visits from friends and relatives.
Society is angrier and less tolerant, less forgiving and less generous.
We are forever changed.

[QUOTE="mullokintyre, post: 1161684, member: 82018"] The disruption of sectors of society pales in comparison to the disruption caused by over the top reactions from the governments. The one size fits all approach is a magnificent example of why centralised planning is an abject failure. The closure of artificial borders when those borders had little or no bearing on the day to day lives of those living along it is a prime example. Stupid comments like the QLD premiers statement that Queensland hospitals are for Queenslanders. Creation of artificial bubbles along border towns with ridiculous unwieldy systems in place. Checkpoints in regional areas manned by out of area police or military personel who had no idea where towns where making the queues longer. The forcing and enforcing of curfews on swathes of the population for no discernable benefit. The ridiculous notion that each state had to approve various treatments, RAT tests, and border entry protocols. The locking up of the elderly when in many cases their only reason to even stay alive was visits from friends and relatives. Society is angrier and less tolerant, less forgiving and less generous.
