Nah.
There are millions of guns in the country...farmers and hunters in rural areas.
Covid struck in 2020, 'just like a cold for most people' some in the media were saying.
Then people started dying.
People in aged care homes...'they were going to die anyway' some were saying.
Then Covid struck an aged care home in western Sydney...a man about 45 shown on the tv news 'hanging' on a wire fence outside the home, in tears; "Mum has caught Covid in there, they won't tell me anything, I don't know if she's still alive".
Yikes! The old people are someone's precious grandparents, parents, great grandparents, someone's much loved family members.
No1 morning radio host went off his brain with anger, was shouting at politicians, complaining bitterly about it. The virus taken into the home from outside.
Covid Delta is much worse, the People do not want to catch it and die, or be maimed for life...so they suffer Covid restrictions 'for the greater good', and in the process their own good.
There was a "Call to arms"..."we are at war with Covid, please offer up your arms for vaccination to win the war."
Sons and Daughters of the Southern Cross took it all in their stride...social distancing, washing hands, hand sanitisers, wearing masks, etc...stay at home rules, work from home if possible rules, etc. Not like it was the trenches at Gallipoli.
Public incarceration?

At malls, beaches ["sun's up, surf's up"], workplaces, exercising in parks etc. visit doctors, buy office supplies. People could leave home if it was 'essential'...and with km radius limits.
