Better a hard lock down for one case, than a longer lockdown for 1000 cases. The main concern would be the possible higher mortality and infection rates for the UK variant. So far, the countries that took a hard and early response have fared best economically. Perth should take advantage of its geographical isolation, and pinch this latest risk off in the bud.

Some would say let the virus run its course. Regardless of political views, with a few aberrations, its clear the west doesn't have the will or desire to implement such a policy. Consequently, those opposed to lockdowns are better off supporting them, so as that the lockdowns are effective, and therefore briefer. In other words, we should follow medical advice, and support our medical professionals. Bogans argue with paramedics when they turn up to help. We are not bogans.

Australians have a history of enduring hardship. Yet it appears something as small as masks and lockdowns have unraveled so many. Last year I was surrounded by bush-fires. Masks and lockdowns are minor in comparison. Yes, lockdowns are a financial hit. But the alternative is losing parents and grandparents before their time. What good is money, if we are un-willing to spend it on protecting those we love? And yes, mental health takes a toll. But the people talking about that have never cared about mental health before. I suspect comments about mental health will equally vanish from those quarters once we see the back of this virus. Mental health issues can be addressed through discussion, something as simple as calling a friend. Viruses can not.

I don't believe these draconian snap decisions are justified on a single case based on a singular variable.

A more balanced and pragmatic approach like NSW is the way to go.
