COVID Humbug! (2022 edition)

I do not. I’m not a politician that has to rigidly stick with party doctrine. A non-politician economist specialising in macroeconomics knows a country’s needs today may not necessarily be the country’s needs tomorrow. But you can’t do that as a politician or you get called flip flop.

Personally, when the cases were initially rather low in the first wave. I would’ve just put $10000 in everyone’s pocket, keep people largely home, ramp up contact tracing, make grocery stores and stuff deliver by mobilising Uber/Taxis/Army for four weeks and eradicated it like it was eradicated in Atlantic Canada. And it would’ve been cheaper. Stay home for four weeks and earn $10000? Who could say no?
