Masks are voluntary and rarely seen Down Under, contributing to the ongoing local Aussie Covid death toll, with 'freedom' being paid for via the lives of the vulnerable, who are given little to no consideration by the majority!
This wave knocked me on my ass and it's been the only wave to have done this despite being 5 times vaxxed including the bivalent for 2 months before getting sick.
Maybe it's just bad luck but the people around me seem to be getting sicker and sicker from this wave.
