The only people entering Australia is like a few thousand a week coming back from overseas, and they have to be vaccinated. I think before they get on the flight they have to give a negative covid test. Then they need to do Weeks isolation back in Australia and still covid -19's getting in.
Ever felt like you're living in a never-ending lockdown? Comedian David Boyle certainly has some thoughts on that. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle vents his frustrations about Australia's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite the country’s strict lockdowns and border closures, he argues that Australia hasn't even faced a proper first wave yet. It's a reality check that many might find both eye-opening and relatable. Boyle doesn't just stop at the numbers and policies.
He delves into the emotional and psychological toll these measures have taken on people. Imagine being stuck in a country with closed borders for almost two years, only to see the virus still slipping through. Boyle shares personal stories of friends who’ve been denied exemptions to leave, highlighting the mental health struggles that come with such restrictions.
He questions the goal of achieving zero daily cases, calling it unrealistic and pointing out the ongoing 'spot fires' that are treated as waves. With his signature blend of humor and raw honesty, Boyle makes you think about the bigger picture while keeping you entertained. Whether you're in Australia or anywhere else grappling with similar issues, this episode offers a mix of laughter, frustration, and genuine reflection.
