Re: CV and mad panic behaviour

Agree, but the big problem I see isn't the removal of restrictions or lockdowns but the inability of sections of the public to accept things aren't going back to the way it was anytime soon.
The idea things become 'normal' at midnight is just a lockdown lifting myth spread by the various forms of media.
Away from our local region they are just starting to learn about this is areas that are now showing the early signs of reduced immunity. Too many holdouts and too many in a rush to return to 'normal' are causing massive issues in various health systems. I've friends and associates in Europe that describe some public behaviour as wilful self-destruction, a pandemic anarchy!
If the public was willing and sensible about it's behaviour, wearing masks and social distancing, the lockdowns and restrictions could have been lifted a long time ago, it's not the health authorities, public servants or politicians that are to blame, it's the behaviour of some segments of the general public!
Wait and see what happens this weekend when the "breaking loose" brigade hit the semi-suburban regions like the Bass Coast, Mornington or Bellarine Peninsula and find vaccinaton certificates are required and roudy visitors are far less than broadly welcome. Having been fully closed for so long no small trader is going to risk a Health Authority forcing them into a fresh quarantine just to satisfy some hold-outs demand for independance. My advice is to keep yourself and your family well away until the surge ends!
In my area authorities have also already warned us of inside information they have relating to crooks targeting the tourist destinations as visitors drop their guard, in particular make sure you've a good car lock, that is if you can find a car park without getting into a dispute! The poor weather might be a godsend!
