Can't we just try an experiment? Setup one Australia state as 'land of the free, home of the stupid' and let the virus run free too? Keep the other one's closed down as controls, and then see how well the first one does?
If only we could find a state that no one wants.
I guess we have the example of Sweden to monitor. Despite their best intentions and their unusual approach to it, they are not doing any better.
Its a shame that society has reached a point where social media has become a force for people learning that they have been duped but the same people won't learn how viruses work. Maybe that's the end of the world, where people become so full of themselves after reading dumb posts on facebook that they ignore good advice and end up dying early.
"Freedom! I want freedom to not wear a mask, so that I can be locked down from a virus and not go out and enjoy my normal life."
Taiwan is currently being held up as an example of where they have very good control of the virus. I wonder what facebook doctors make of that?
