Australia's health strategy

Apples and Oranges.

It's not the number of deaths you should be looking at; it's the spread of infection. The idea is to stop the spread of infection so the death toll doesn't rise dramatically. Stop it at 910 so it doesn't get to 20,000... or worse.

@MichaelStJohn231, if you added up the covid death percentages of a few nations you'll find covid is nothing to worry about. The road deaths of 1,187 in 2019 is 0.0047% of Australia's population. Total covid deaths in Australia is 0.0036% of Australia's population. Sweden which has avoided lockdown so far has 13788 covid deaths which is 0.13% of Sweden's 10.2 million population. The UK which counts a covid death as someone who dies from covid even a month after gettinf diagnosed with it, has 127k covid deaths which is only 0.18% of UK's estimated 68 million population. Are you really too afraid to live in a world where you have around only a 0.1% or 0.2% chance of dying from covid every year and that's only if you're older than the average age, if you're young it's a lot lower than even that.

@MichaelStJohn231, 20,000 covid deaths is still only 0.08% of Australia's population and obviously a very negligible amount of people. Maybe work out the percentage of the number first instead of assuming it's a very significant amount of deaths based on the number simply being big.
