It blows my mind that US tv shows and newscasters are making fun of Australia/New Zealand for the all of their harsh lockdowns whilst stuff like this is going on at the exact same time right their own country…
US states which have low vaccination rates also had little choice but to lock down harshly, but they mostly seem to have gone for the generally less popular 'kill lots of people' option, instead.
I am all for taking measurements to keep those to young to get vaccinated safe, but I draw a line with unvaccinated adults who have had every opportunity to get vaccinated. Those with an actual medical condition are a separate case, but I see no reason to take any actions to protect those who deliberately chose not to be vaccinated.
For the record, I am also of the opinion that we should prioritize everyone else in triage over unvaccinated covid patients.
