Online Public Relations Thoughts

The Australian government has made an example of Novak Djokovic, the tennis player, by sending him home for violating COVID protocols.  Djokovic was cavalier in his treatment of the disease and expected to get a medical exemption to play in the Australian Open.  The government was under pressure from its citizens to prevent Djokovic from playing.  This was a successful public relations action by Australia's politicians and courts.  No individual should be so important that he can flout rules that apply to everyone else.  Australians have a keen sense of fairness and equality.  Anyone who tries to stand out is looked down upon.  Djokovic should have known that before he took a plane to the country.  He does now.
