Putting unqualified people in roles to perform various tasks during a pandemic is largely what got us into this mess in the first place. Everyone is having to figure out what to do as we go, authorities and government officials included and some of them are probably going to **** some things up and others are going to be done well. There's no playbook, our country doesn't have practise with this kind of thing from ebola and the likes so we all just have to do our best and make what of what worked and what didn't.
I get that it's normal for people to feel some kinda way about this but can we all just drop the outrage? It's not really helpful to anyone. It almost seems to be australian culture to loudly criticise every.single.attempt that anyone makes and use it as a means to say the other guy would be better elected. It's a pandemic, why make it about politics. Feel free to make people accountable after the fact but for now we're stuck with what we've got.
Chances are that after this there will be discussions and procedures developed so that if it ever happens again we'll be better prepared with a plan of attack but for now we're all stuck sitting in the same boat together.
