Our goal is to live with the virus, not living in fear of them, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on August 23.

We have to break this vicious cycle, Morrison talks about the states to close and open the door continuously for Covid-19.

Australia is not the first country to give up a very successful approach, due to Delta variations that are more difficult to deal with and increasing vaccination rates.

But in Australia, no Covid approach has become a thing like faith.

However, that consensus has appeared cracked in recent weeks, when controversies began to appear between states of Covid-19 seriously with areas almost no epidemic.

A woman walked on the street with the ball because of the blockade order in Melbourne, Victoria on July 16.

In Sydney, where she recorded an infection in the middle of June, soared to about 750 shifts per day last week, state officials emphasized to switch to a strategy to live with the translation, instead of erasing viruses.

I just called on people to be psychologically affected because of the number of cases every day.

The rate of Australia's immunization is increasing, especially in NSW, where the number of injections daily increases three times, becoming one of the places with the highest vaccination rate in the world.

At the same time, the patience of the people in the states in the states is gradually weakening with a prolonged blockade order.

We can't live isolated forever, Berejiklian said.

However, for states with little or no infection, the strategy does not Covid seems to be a good solution.

In Queensland, where only two cases were recorded on August 24, Church of Annastacia Palaszczuk said she could not open the state border with NSW even after the country reached the vaccination threshold.

Both Palaszczuk and McGowan were agreed upon with the four-stage opening plan of Prime Minister Morrison, including the state blockade orders when 70% of Australian population was vaccinated.

However, Palaszczuk said everything changed when the outbreak in Sydney broke the script of 30 cases where the plan was out.

The Model Law Institute for the Four-Stage Opening Plan affirms hundreds of cases per day is not a barrier to open a safe door.

According to them, without large outbreaks to promote vaccination, Queensland and Western Australia have lagged behind in the vaccine deployment campaign and may have to delay the national opening plan.

Some governors are concerned with a blockade escape plan affected by political factors, when Australia will hold elections at the beginning of the next year and Covid-19 will be a key issue.

Morrison warned the leaders of the states and the territory should not withdraw from the agreement with the Australians, while Finance Minister Josh Frydenberg threatened to block some federal assistance to the states that did not open according to the plan.

But not separately for administrions, many epidemists are also skeptical about the national opening plan of Prime Minister Morrison.

It is not based on logic, Mary-Louise McLaws, epidemiologists and advisers of the World Health Organization (WHO).

She added that a problem among which is Australia's national opening plan not to count towards Delta transformations that are contagious.

Morrison Prime Minister's plan also means Australia to open the country when many vulnerable indigenous communities have not been vaccinated, according to McLaws.

McLaws was the one who supported Sydney blockade as soon as the first Delta strain appeared in June, while Prime Minister Morrison waited for another 10 days to make a blockade decision.
