An infectious disease physician and microbiologist stressed it was time to 'change our fear level' and backed calls to amend the definition of a close contact as Australia was in a better position with the coronavirus pandemic due to vaccines.

Professor Peter Collignon, Infectious Diseases physician and microbiologist, said it was time to"change our fear level to be consistent" with the risk, which he believes remains high, but has lowered due to high vaccination rates and booster shots.

Infectious Diseases physician and microbiologist Dr Peter Collignon says only residents who remain unvaccinated should be concerned about the rise in COVID-19 cases.

He also agreed there should be more of a focus on people who were symptomatic as it would help ease the pressure on testing sites that have experience lengthy delays Professor Collignon said the current definition of a close contact was tailored to the COVID zero approach but that has since been dropped by most states and territories.

We are constantly told to be afraid.

THEY'RE TELLING THE UNJABBED TO TAKE THE JAB BECAUSE THE JAB WORKS. 💉 AND TELLING THE JABBED TO GET A BOOSTER BECAUSE THE JAB DOESN'T WORK. ALL WHILE TELLING EVERYONE THAT THE UNJABBED ARE PUTTING THE JABBED IN DANGER BY NOT GETTING A JAB THAT DIDN'T PROTECT THE JABBED.

Remember the unvaxed are loud, but at the end of the day are a very small minority, vaccination rates prove that.They are insignificant and unimportant end of argument do the math.😆

In addition the double jabbed who r due their 3rd dose and 10 weeks later the triple jabbed who r awaiting their 4th dose ad infinitum should also be fearful of covid infection

I don’t want to sound insensitive, but I’ve observed the people most concerned about others not wearing masks ect, are also more likely to beat a harmless huntsman to death while screaming in horror. There is room for concern, but often there is a level of unnecessary hysteria.
