      People were worried cases would spike further when the UK lifted almost all remaining restrictions in July. The opposite happened. We must acknowledge that restrictions aren't all that effective in Western countries. (Except Australia, who just entered their 6th lockdown)pic.twitter.com/l7tygXQqn7

      Eh? Where I live we're only on the second lockdown, we've so far spent 13 weeks under some measure of lockdown since March 2020 altogether

          Question from Canada: as it seems NSW case counts are still rising week over week, is there any sense NSW will get out of lockdown? We’re at 83% vaxxed 12+ in Ottawa in summer and still have spread—cases are 100% delta here

          As some point Australia will have to decide at what vax rate/IFR it's appropriate to allow Covid to become endemic. China will likely have to make that decision too.

          Hard to figure his point, restrictions don't work, except Oz where they had 6??? So they worked in Oz then. Thought the point was they don't work. 🤷‍♂️ Plus, ignores the fact restrictions lifted in UK when vaccinations had been fairly widely provided. What a dope.

          Not to mention ignoring the preceding peak reduction and continued low levels largely brought about by restrictions (hate phrase lockdown at this stage). And if they don't work then Aus, NZ, and various Asian countries achievements would have never happened.

          I ran out of characters to include "Victoria". But Victoria is part of Australia and I'm sure you know that.

          Well, in the same way Florida is a part of the United States and therefore I assume it is justifiable to argue that since a lack of restrictions has seemingly caused hospitals to fill up with COVID-19 there that this is true of the entire US
