What’s your advice for the immunocompromised/disabled/chronic illnesses once we open up? The fear that masks/PPE/distancing/vax won’t be enough to keep us out of icu or death. The fear is real in our community that many feel our deaths will be acceptable as per Govt rhetoric.

I’d love to know your thoughts on planning for future variants / pandemics. It seems crazy to me that Sydney had a purpose built quarantine facility within walking distance of a hospital at North Head. While we may no longer arrive by ship, transfer by ferry would be possible.
