That's a pretty poetic way to say you're fine with letting 600 000 people have zero freedom. Australia will be opened up and 90% vaccinated with maybe 3k deaths. Unfortunately Little Caesars went bankrupt here, during that time, but I guess that's liberty dying on the altar of public safety. Enjoy the ultimate sacrifice those people made for two years of unlimited Applebees.

It is pretty short sighted if you believe the only businesses and people financially impacted and bankrupted in Australia were Little Caesars, I can assure you that is false

I am sure you likely enjoy a tech sector job which afford you the privilege of sitting on your bum all day having very little impact to your financial life, others are not an privileged.

Oh cheers, I didn't know. I will reconsider my position on the 600k dead Americans.

Could you just humor me and do a little back of the envelope calculation of the loss of economy in the US vs AU vs the number of deaths? Hint: Australia's economy is doing fine. Let me know how much each life was worth.
