"About a year ago, many of us were in lockdown. State premiers fronted the
media every day to reveal how many people had tested positive for COVID and how
many people had died.
The number of deaths were prominent in news bulletins. We would lament the
sadness of it all, until the next day’s data arrived.
A year later, Australia has an average of about 50 COVID deaths a day. We have
had more than 9,300 COVID deaths since the pandemic began. Yet, these deaths
are barely mentioned in the Australian media.
We seem to have lost the collective opportunity to acknowledge lives lost. And
when we don’t talk about these traumatic deaths, there’s a long-term impact on
those left behind."
