now you've changed tack completely.... you were referring to the effectiveness of lockdowns, now its the mental health effects.

make up your mind which argument you want to make hey.

none would deny that lockdowns caused serious difficulties. I too had many months locked down.

but you argued that lockdowns weren't effective - meaning stopping the virus spread. that was the entire point of lockdowns and, apart from the appalling effects on those locked into aged care where no care was provided and hundreds died due to laxity of federal management and regulation, the lockdowns did the job.

most were compliant, most businesses did what was required of them and provided PPE when required and used the appropriate means of supporting their workers.

some businesses, such as abattoirs in NSW and Vic, wet areas where transmission is aided by humidity, had great difficulty controlling the virus but that was in the early months and by 2021 they had learned how to manage better.

lockdowns stopped the virus from spreading. if Aus had not had lock downs, thousands would have died and the hospitals unable to adequately function as was the case in the US and many other nations where lockdowns weren't used or complied with.

A very sensible post and that's the middle ground, where most voters are.

The worry is the extremists are constantly posting fake news and getting people stirred up.
