We have moved an awful long way from when the director-general and the Minister of Health assured us months ago that jumping up and down in a mosh pit for two hours with someone who was positive with COVID does not constitute a close contact, but, if I get in the lift in the parliamentary precinct with one of my colleagues for 10 seconds to go from the first floor to the third floor, that's now somehow prohibited. Have we got to the point where we are in a state of perpetual existential fear?
