Australians are now thinking twice about whether the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of contracting the coronavirus. Is it a valid concern?
Why risk the side effects of a vaccine when the chances of local transmission and infection are so low? It's a different story overseas where the coronavirus is out of control, but from the relative safety of Australia - is it really necessary?

It seems like the FOMO virus has struck again. The interesting thing is that it's self-manifesting. When people are so focused on a subject, they read/research enough, and they speak to enough people (who all have the same mindset), they convince themselves that it's real and necessary to act - immediately. When these like-minded people congregate together (ie, in supermarkets or auctions) it literally becomes a frenzy.

Will our economic reality change after 31 March 2021? At the moment it seems like everything is 'going back to normal', isn't it? The sharemarket is back to where it was pre-COVID and (some parts of) the property market seem to be booming according to (some) reports - leaving aside the state of some apartment blocks and vacancies. Community transmission is almost non-existent, we don't have to wear masks on public transport, but people are still working from home.
So what does all this mean and will it change when JobKeeper ends? What happens when businesses and people have to go back to spending "our own money"? Of course, government benefits weren't going to last forever and the weaning had to start sooner or later.

Maybe the flooding will be good news after all. Can you imagine that the government approved the demolition of a heritage building to replace it with a museum? The irony of it all.
Since they have no guilt or conscience to preserve actual heritage rather than destroy it, hopefully, these recent floods will force them to reconsider their decision to reach the right outcome if not for different reasons.
