I think you are wrong but I get where you are coming from. The problem with your idea is that it may stop people doing the right thing which unfortunately is locking down.
The problem is too many people will die unnecessarily and there will be flow on effects. The health system simply cannot handle how full on this virus is.
I get where you are coming from and Bosch is one of my favorite TV shows and I've read every book in the series.
I also think you are being way too harsh. The pollies are feeling this. Dr Chant is feeling it. I feel sorry for them just as much as for people running small businesses.
I want the lock downs to stop but we need people vaccinated.

Pragmatism would have shut the lid on this in the Eastern Suburbs.

I disagree completely. My impression is that people are making this some rich vs poor or white vs non-white divide and it isn't case.
It happened in the Northern beaches.

My comment was about your evaluation of one being pragmatic, nothing to do with geography, wealth or race, which you brought into it.
Pragmatism would have shut it down earlier if Philisophical didn’t overrule the correct decision.

I really don't think it would have. It's easy with hindsight. Read that article I posted. It's from a guy a lot smarter and heaps better educated than you or myself. On top of that he appears to be able to think correctly.
He made a great point. The risk averse people who continually scream for lockdowns are always going to be right at some point via hindsight.
I believe NSW health and the government have been pragmatic. That is why we haven't had continual lock downs over minimal cases. This has gone against us now but that doesn't mean the decisions over the course of the pandemic have not been the correct decisions.
If you are right this time you've been wrong every other time.

Don't try and piss in my pocket, we are talking about the current lockdown and it was a philosophical decision rather than a pragmatic one.
As for your last sentence, find me an example.

I'm definitely not pissing in your pocket.
As for examples. Every time there has been an outbreak NSW have taken their time implementing lock downs. Every single time.
This is the same approach that has worked so well in the past. So you are right now but if your approach had been followed previously it would have been the wrong approach.
I'd suggest NSW has been pragmatic when the other states haven't been.

You're not an idiot, however I may have to reconsider that position if you want to pretend that this has ever been about past decisions and anyone with working eyes and ears has not known for months that the newer variants are much worse and cannot be treated the same way.
Anyway I am certain that you are aware that strong voices in our state government wanted to let it rip, plus history here shows you will go on page after page without relenting regardless, so I am outta here.

Death is part of living if your live in fear you don't live to your fullest potential let people make the choice if they want to self impose a lockdown on them self so be it and others sign a waiver that you can go about your normal life but if you get sick you don't get a bed Infront of people who have chosen to self isolate

Is this true ? It definitely hasn't been my understanding.
