We are 18 months in, the question isn't how many will die, the question is how long can we keep doing this and hold back the flood of infections that are inevitable?

The common cold is a coronavirus, we all get those.

For how many years should we lock Australia up?

We have had 38k of infections only at this stage. Israel as fully vaxed as they are likely to get just had 6k infections a day with 10mil population but a low 16 deaths

Not all countries are the same but using Israel if Vax works to some degree, given they have 6.5k deaths, and we are 2.5x bigger, probably in the region of 10-12k deaths from/with the virus.
