I guess it's a resilience thing.
For many how the pandemic impacts them is a choice, an attitude they take into any situation not just COVID. I realise for many it isn't, but for a lot they can basically choose how they are going to deal with it, and the vast majority of the protestors and dissenters fall into this free choice category. There are no 3rd world style victims of the pandemic here in Australia, but if minorities keep screwing over the efforts to get things back on track there could be!
Many could have done the right thing and made life easier for themselves, health workers and neighbours, but instead they chose to set the joint on fire and watched it burn! Now from a position of privilege they spend time on social media claiming their liberties are impinged, I suppose typing while they suck down some home delivered KFC, smoke a joint or snort a line of cocaine! Australia's poor poor downtrodden!
The minute Australia is loaded up on rapid antigen LFTs the borders should open, based purely on the science and compliance. No compliance no freedom, it's not that hard to understand and I'm convinced it has to be kept as simple as possible to get any significant buy in. We need the dissenting groups to become a smaller and smaller minority until they are basically outliers.
