Bluntly warning that state premiers we cannot “stay in the cave forever”, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has warned Australians must accept greater daily case numbers when the economy reopens.
Bluntly warning that state premiers we cannot “stay in the cave forever”, the Prime Minister has warned Australians must accept greater daily case numbers when the economy reopens.“We can‘t stay in the cave forever. That’s not sustainable,’’ he said.
“Cases will not be the issue once we get above 70 per cent. Dealing with serious illness, hospitalisation, ICU capabilities, our ability to respond in those circumstances, that will be our goal and we will live with this virus as we live with other infectious diseases. That’s what the national plan is all about, was always about, that’s how we designed it.
