Michelle Grattan has reflected on Morrison's mismanagement of the Covid Pandemic and concluded it's like a bus tour from Hell:

" Government management of Omicron blighted by false assumptions, bad planning "

"... Australia's journey through Omicron is like the bus tour from hell. Steering awry, seat belts forgotten or not working, and the driver's patter wearing thin with stressed passengers.
Eventually we'll see the back of the boggy ground on this outback track. But in worse shape and at higher cost than the Morrison government was suggesting only weeks ago.
"Omicron is a gear change and we have to push through," Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Monday. "You have two choices here: you can push through or you can lock down. We're for pushing through." ..."

"... Surveying the present shambles, you'd have to conclude the gearbox is shot. ...'

"... So what went wrong? Almost everything, it seems.
Earlier lessons weren't properly learned. Planning has been woeful. The relationship between health and the economy was misread.
After the vaccination stuff-ups, you'd have thought federal and state governments would have pulled out all stops to get enough RATs. But no. ..."

"... Morrison is hoping that in a May election he can escape or minimise the blame for the gross mismanagement of the Omicron wave.
But "long COVID" is a nasty illness for those who get it, and it could have a harsh political variant. "

“But "long COVID" is a nasty illness for those who get it"

The 800+ deaths in Aged Care under Andrews and his botched quarantine scheme is a sad reminder. Plus what’s happening right now in Victoria.....,,we’re not safe!
