The WA experiment will be interesting in the economic long term. We have no lockdown measures, no Gov dictatorship to citizens or business where I am... it is doors flung wide open. The streets are nearly as deserted as they were during lockdown. People are deciding to go to ground themselves, business is supporting them to do so. When our borders were closed, it was the opposite. All business open, hospitals operating at usual (poor) standards, people everywhere, very much situation normal.

It is only since the borders have been opened we have felt the affects of a lockdown (by the people themselves), which was avoided until now. Add to that of nearly 3000 deaths so far WA accounts for 9 of them. The wash up and data will be interesting.
