Australia Will End Their “COVID Zero” Policy
From Fox News: Prime Minister Scott Morrison determined that the country’s approach is not “sustainable” in the face of the more infectious COVID-19 delta variant. Australia has maintained a strict policy of restrictions and lockdowns to stamp out any outbreak, but the government over the weekend laid out a new plan that marks a sharp change in policy (Fox News). https://www.foxnews.com/world/australia-end-covid-policy-not-sustainable
The Economist: The plan is to drop most restrictions once 80% of adults are vaccinated, which looks achievable by the end of the year (The Economist). https://www.economist.com/asia/2021/08/28/australia-is-ending-its-zero-covid-strategy

Good morning, ma'am. Apparently Australian officials recognize a real threat to themselves. Either relax or get thrown out of office. At least that is what I am reading.

Truth And their population has gotten into it with the police and now has little respect for them due to the way they behaved.

Perhaps if we could ever get to 80% of the adult population fully vaccinated we could follow the Aussie lead. But no, we in the US have our rights afterall!
