Really, learn to read?? ... how about some basic math, extrapolation and normalization. I'll make it simple for you. You tell me what number is bigger.

Per capita (that means by person or head)

• Australia is 39.9 deaths per million
• USA is 1,940.81 deaths per million

There's no question that lockdowns are not good for the economy or those waiting for elective or life-saving surgeries or treatments. And people have died because those beds are being taken by people getting sick. Nurses and Dr's are treating covid patients instead of being able to tend to others.

BUT, there's a real simple solution. If you are against lockdowns, get vaccinated and wear a mask indoors, and at large public gatherings. We can all go about our business or continue to capitalize on the pandemic and the fears of people.
