FDA approves Pfizer's antiviral COVID-19 pill. Australia could be next
US health regulators authorise the first pill against COVID-19, a Pfizer drug that Americans will be able to take at home to head off the worst effects of the virus.www.abc.net.au
Well I don't know about ethical, but it is already happening in certain situations:
Unvaccinated Queenslanders face being denied life-saving operations

Apparently those attending the geisha bar have received texts to isolate.
I'm comfortable in having deleted the safe wa app, 14 months ago, so I'll never receive such text.

You could also say that the perfectly healthy person that has paid the Medicare levy/surcharge while also paying for private health insurance is also entitled to finally use the medical system they have been taxed on .
Just add covid care to private health insurance for those unvaxxed or make them pay higher medicare surcharge .
Do obese people pay any sort of tax to justify their health risks? They are the biggest ( no pun intended) burden on our health system .

Isolation due to STDs ?

I believe in things like a sugar or fat tax (eg making Macca's cost more, soft drinks having a levy etc), but imagine the political unpopularity...

Most people would be ok with it just like the smoking tax .

Bigger proportion of the population consume Macca's compared to smoking, though.
Anyway, the Geisha Bar patron might be the beginning of the end of Fortress WA, surely if it's true there is little chance he or she hasn't passed it onto others nearby. We've had a good run.

Text or not, if you’d been at the Geisha bar on Saturday night would you go get a test and isolate pending the result? Or would you shrug and just go about your life?

The Geisha Bar and Connections. Clubs/bars are the worst places for avoiding spread.
It begins.
Chant says more than about 70% of cases are in the age group of 10 to 39-year-olds.
“It’s really sad to see some very young people in ICU who are not vaccinated. So, again, a big callout to everyone – just because you’re young, this message doesn’t mean you’re necessarily going to be lucky enough to have the mild disease. You can be hit hard.”

If I felt no ill effects, I would carry on with my normal life.
The truth?

Even though you could have it and be asymptomatic? And could pass it on to other, potentially more vulnerable people while asymptomatic?
I wish I could say I was surprised.
Stats, stats, stats for everybody.
Risk of hospital stay 40% lower with Omicron than Delta, UK data suggests’
‘The Omicron variant of coronavirus appears to be milder, with a 20%-25% reduced chance of a hospital visit and at least a 40% lower risk of being admitted overnight, the first UK data of its kind has showed ..
.. But as daily Covid cases topped 100,000 for the first time on Wednesday, experts warned that high transmissibility means the NHS is still at risk of being overwhelmed

Maybe I best stay out again for a few days, don't want to inflame.
Is it any different than only 10% of consumers scanning in anywhere and businesses not giving a damn about it either?
For all inents and purposes, no cares about it.

Jackie could easily die from COVID. In February, her risk goes way up
As COVID case numbers soar and border restrictions are set to relax, medically vulnerable Australians face the biggest risk to their lives so far.
www.abc.net.au
I bet people like Jackie are thrilled that there’s campaigners who don’t check in anywhere and who don’t plan to get tested if they’re close contacts because they think they’re bulletproof.
Survival of the fittest, innit.

Because we haven't had to worry about an outbreaks for a long time.
Now there is potentially community spread, they will be more vigilant on people checking in again.

Legitimate question, who is the spreader? I can't seem to find anything.

Yes. Bit of a difference between people being complacent about check ins because there’s no Covid in the community in Perth, and people being complacent about being actual close contacts when Covid suddenly gets into the community in Perth.
Also hospital admissions and death aren't the only scorecard. A third of people who have contacted covid still have symptons 3-6 months later, some who didn't have symptoms initially. So we can wait and see how Omicron pans out or we can take the advice of that well known epidemiologist Dr Balls In and let er rip, what could go wrong?
