From the start the strategy to ditch all COVID restrictions and open the borders was risky
The National Strategy was designed for Delta rather than the very different Omicron
Economic activity is down regardless because people voted with their feet and began to lockdown themselves
Communication from the authorities must be honest, reflect the reality of the situation and carefully manage changes to the strategy to keep the population on board

 

Host: Dr David Lim | Total time: 26 mins

Guest: Prof Stephen Duckett, Health Economist; Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia; Health and Aged Care Program Director, Grattan Institute; Australian public policy think tank and Emeritus Professor of Health Policy, La Trobe University
