False dichotomy and the fact you still haven't worked it out after 18 months isn't too flash.

Countries/regions that do not (or have not) managed Covid through early lockdowns end up with all of deaths, bad health outcomes, bad business outcomes AND LOCKDOWNS.

Singapore, UK, France, Italy, US all needed lockdowns.

Contrast New Zealand, WA, Tassie etc (and Melbourne within a week) which all apply short, sharp lockdowns with NSW. I'll be eating out mask free and shopping at my local SCG Westfield (as will SA, Tas, Qld, WA) while NSW will still be a dumpster fire for both health and business. Right into October until our holiday taker in charge procures some more vaccines.
