...and yet, this rhetoric isn’t just from “influencers” but also from our Politicians (although you could argue those lines are becoming increasingly blurry!) I’d love to see proper media debate about the pros and cons of the different approaches to managing Covid-19 rather than cheap headlines made for vote-grabbing, but it seems there’s not a lot of desire for informed discussion. We might need to acknowledge a future where Covid-19 is present and managed in some form, but we owe it to our own humanity to also find ways to protect our most vulnerable. I remain hopeful that the majority of good-willed, kind and compassionate people out there will not be influenced by the so-called “influencers!”

So true! I’m absolutely horrified (yet unsurprised) by the behaviour of Brownlee and co.

Wonderful. (As always.). It's so incredibly frustrating to see the nonsense that's spreading here, helped along by some high profile people. Let's hope that most of us stay calm and kind.

Yes! Thank you. I live in Melbourne and the number of ppl not wearing masks is shocking. I have questioned some and been ranted at about conspiracies etc. Yeah, it's a conspiracy until you or your loved one gets covid and dies.

This this this this!!!!! Thank you so much for your continued mahi. This is so important. During lockdown, I felt like I was 'normal' because everyone was stuck at home! And i really thought people would suddenly understand what life is like for those of us who are chronically ill and disabled and housebound. But that didn't last long. Now, I'm having to cut people off because they refuse to wear masks. I just wish people cared about others, especially others who are disabled.

Terrific. Talked to my (only) libertarian friend last night and she was cross that the government are 'releasing enough masks.'...
