I’m no expert but why are we even considering the Australian Open when there just seems to be plane loads of tennis people jetting in with many testing positive. This seems like madness to me.
That’s the madness which is the Government of Victoria.. they are worried someone else will put the event on .. public health is irrelevant at this stage . Also pushing for overseas students by the thousands to be allowed in months ! But there own citizens are locked out of the state go figure .
That is the worst part, if they still won't let people who live in Victoria who are out of state come home then they should be ashamed letting an event this size, that requires so many people to travel from overseas, go ahead.
Lockdowns don't work, that's fairly clear by now, no lockdown has effected the virus at all. There's a fair argument that this virus is airborne, by the amount of "Mystery" cases that they can't link to any person, continually popping up and breaking out.
There are a number of cases where crew on ships have all contracted covid after having no contact with anyone on the land for weeks and all tested clean and no symptoms before going to sea.
There are also cases of small islands getting it without having any external contact.
It's thought that it's getting spread through the air, carried around by dust plumes, sea spray, trade winds etc.
So protect the 0.1% and let the rest of us live or lives because lockdowns aren't doing a thing, the virus will eventually run its course like every other one before it.
This advice flies in the face of the facts as we know them. Victoria beat the virus via lockdowns. Australia beat the virus via lockdowns. Most of the world is in a terrible state now because they didn't implement lockdowns.
I think your figure is wrong as well. I think you are talking about mortality rates. The problem isn't just deaths. The problem is when the virus gets out of control the hospital systems get inundated because so many people get really really sick and require care.
Have a read, you probably won't because the evidence flies in the face of what you already believe but I'll put it here anyway.

You need to go and see a mental health expert. It's that simple. You are stating stuff that is factually untrue.
If lockdowns work, why have we had more than 1?
The only reason why you'd be on your 3rd lockdown is because 1 and 2 didn't work right?
So it's "factually true" that the first 2 lockdowns didn't work, the 3rd lockdown is the evidence
The UK lockdowns worked really well didn't they
Firstly you do not have the ability to think logically and rationally. So you are setting up a premise that you want to be right and despite proof that it is incorrect you continue to go down that path. You need to work on your ability to think critically and rationally.
Each lockdown in Australia has ended up stopping the virus completely. Just let that sink in for a little. So your premise is incorrect. That ends your premise right there.
You are raising a secondary point which is actually completely different to your initial factually inaccurate point. Your second point should be restated as why does the virus disappear and then it is reintroduced into certain geographic areas. This is actually a very very simple one to explain. The virus is still within the world and it is reintroduced into the geographical area that you are talking about because of people traveling to these geographic areas.
If you just take a step back you will realize that this is a factual unemotional logical response to the inaccurate premise that you want to be true but isn't true.
I'll add some additional points. Human beings have had epidemics for a long long time. We had the Spanish Flu 100 odd years ago which in my opinion was worse than the current COVID crisis. We've had the black plague. We've had ebola break out in various communities. These epidemics and pandemics are solved via the same approach. You have to lockdown geographic areas and not have the virus reintroduced into those demographic areas via infected people.
Your problem though is simply an inability to think rationally. I'm starting to get used to this because for some reason the world has a certain percentage of the population who cannot think logically and rationally. You go and look for alternative facts to justify your irrational opinion.
Instead of looking for alternate facts to confirm your opinion go and look for facts that disprove your opinion.
How can you state a person doesn't have the ability to think rationally? Is it because you think for a person to think rationally they have to come to their conclusions the same way you do?
There's a hint of irony there, in that it looks like you're encouraging the person to think in a different way, and to consider other viewpoints, but appear to not be doing the same thing yourself.
