Meanwhile in Australia, Novak Djokovic is waiting the decision to defend his AO title like some terrorist locked in jail.
Its purely political : the left of the region of Victoria gave it the exemption, the federal right withdrew the result to the media outcry and in public opinion which has been drawn up with lockdowns (6) for 2 years!
note : he is unvaxxed and negative to covid but claim to have caught it within the last 6 months.
Kinda reminds that Macron was against the forfeiture of nationality for terrorists but for the forfeiture of citizenship for the unvaccinated.
tl:dr covidism is a mental disease
The Djokovic case really has two sides:
- if a country's policy is that persons who don't satisfy a certain criterion cannot enter the country, then it is absolutely the right decision to apply this rule to everyone and deny entry to entitled celebrities or pro athletes asking for preferential treatment.
- this point notwithstanding, the particular rule in this case is braindead. Australia has (correctly, imho) chosen to let covid rip and therefore sees skyhigh cases right now, so at this point, some few covid-positive travellers don't make any difference to their domestic covid situation anymore.
