@Rik77 a little out of date but I did find a number for 2012 and Australia's per capita imports were higher than UK in value. It's a false argument, and has no basis in reality, policy has overridden all other concerns, small islands like the island of Ireland and even Malta have performed badly and populous nations with lots of land borders like Vietnam and China have performed well. There is 0 consistency based on geography and political system and trade and wealth to a point. Your PM is just making excuses, consider Philippines, 100,000,000 population with the most overseas workers in the world and poor country with lots of imports, worst performing country in the Western Pacific region of WHO at about 10% per capita deaths of UK.

Have you ever heard of China? They did the same thing as Australia.

Risk of overdose and rare complications, also risk of change in behaviour resulting in more infections. Nothing pretty much is risk free, however it would appear the risk benefit ratio is good, just like vaccines, we know on rare occasions all vaccines have the possibility of killing the person but the number saved is 1000s times greater than lives lost through vaccines.

@AndyDufresne11 the virus doesn't care if a government is a democracy like Australia or the UK or a one party dictatorship like China or Venezuela. No country on the planet has reported cases incorrectly except if capacity to do so was not there, or near the beginning when testing wasn't very good in all countries. There are 3 countries on the planet of 5,000,000 or more population that are virus free at the moment, Australia, New Zealand and China ( excluding Taiwan which has an outbreak). There are some small island nations or jurisdictions less than 1,000,000 people that are virus free. Criticise China for other issues if you want but refusing to accept they are virus free is just acting with absolute prejudice, every outbreak that caused a lockdown in China has of course been made public, impossible not to, can't lock down a city without telling them and the word getting out ( great Chinese firewall not that good). Technically you seem to be a Chinese supremacist because what you are suggesting is actually impossible and that is covering up nation wide lockdown or hundreds of 1000s of deaths.

@AndyDufresne11 You're the one who started with a population argument, not me. Yes we all saw what happened in Wuhan , there were videos all over the internet and that's why if it happened again we would see it. A government can easily cover up what might occur in a prison system, they can't cover up millions of people infected and 1,000s dying in public view. Yes unfortunately India didn't have what it takes in the long term, they actually did very well compared to Europe or US with the original variants but the much more transmissible variants they have failed although deaths are still well below Europe and US and they might be able to bring the situation under control and still end up better in respect of death numbers on a per capita basis but people of India are not going to forget the running out of oxygen which only required proper planning which India is capable of but failed.

@mywoodencubes I think your last comment is a real possibility, worldwide cases haven't gone down and seems about 1 new variant of concern each month.
