If you think scrapping COVID isolation periods will get us back to work and past the pandemic, think again

"COVID is an exceptional disease and was at its deadliest this year, causing
more deaths in Australia between June and August 2022 than at any other time.
There have been 288 deaths from influenza so far this year compared to more
than 12,000 deaths from COVID.

The number of deaths from COVID in Australia in the first nine months of 2022
is more than ten times the annual national road toll of just over 1,000 – but
we are not rushing to remove seat belts or drink-driving laws so people can
have more freedom.

Isolation flattens the COVID curve by stopping infectious people from infecting
others, and is a key pillar of COVID control."
