Covid Rates in Wales - have the greater restrictions worked at all?

[Hilts]

didnt Australia have that idea and it worked for over 1 year, but Covid still arrived and still tore through communities, not sure what stalling it with lockdowns achieves now as a very high % of people who want vaccines have had them by now ( the people who haven't are not likely to think, oh we have stalled the virus for another 3 months, I might aswell have my jabs now )

3 new cases tore through Western Australia on Monday.

over 21K in NSW over christmas

over 25K yesterday ( Monday )


the point is lockdowns / restrictions only buy you time till you have everyone vaccinated , we all knew that ( we ( and Australia ) must be close to that point as everyone has had the opportunity ( of course if you can't have the vaccine that doesn't apply to you and you need all the luck god has ) so further restrictions appear to be just a delaying tactic, but delaying till when ? ?

Delay until enough vaccines , so Health Services and other services dont get overwhelmed.

People are moaning about restrictions in Wales. Completely incomparable to Australia and Western Australia in particular.

When this pandemic is over the death rates will show if Australia handled this better than the UK.

oh I agree but both us and Australia ( I know NSW has ) have empty vaccine slots every day, so the people who are going to have the vaccines have had them ( apart from a small % of people who were slow on the uptake, 22K 1st jabs yesterday here, at least they are on the road I guess )

we will see Australia handled it better at the start, but as soon as they relaxed restrictions ( especially in NSW ) the virus arrived and spread, but at what expense to peoples jobs and mental health and health in general
