Nearly 440 000 residential flats in greater Sydney, in 2016. Extrapolation suggests over 1M of the city’s population are thus contained.
If 75% of those are older buildings with insufficient funds to implement and maintain an “interventionist” Covid management strategy - as in, simply relying on people doing what are considered the right things - that’s a substantial amount of the city’s population at imminent risk of contagion. |
Well we are not unique like that, but, shows how reliance on CBD's is really not a good thing and like any good business diversification is a good policy.
If Australia was any closer to the rest of the world we would be ^%%$'d with our current game plan. But to be fair we could be a bit more choosey and see how other countries were managing it before we adapted which isnt a bad ploy.
Our mistake is solely on the vaccination of the at risk people and its ongoing roll out.
Vaccines are not a golden bullet but it is a way to reduce the severity to the individual and ultimately the spread.
