    No, it was on the news this morning

    Short-term shutdown would ‘not achieve anything’


    Maybe they got to the 11th hour and realised we don't have enough cops or soldiers for anyone to take it seriously anyway

    If they had tried I know what would have happened, need like 500 cops to lock down Lakemba...at the same time in Bondi Junction would have had two cop politely reminding the old Jewish ladies they are supposed to be indoors

    They should pull themselves up with their own boot-straps.

    You said you live in Germany. Why should we support you?

    Hey looks like I could buy a flight to Australia with my $1000 too. Probably get quarantined on arrival though.

    Been thinking about this


    So if a population experiences a virus that is most harmful to the elderly and those with weak immune systems, shouldn’t we be quarantining those people only? And allow the rest to just go about our livelihoods? So once the rest of us get it, we’ll develop an immunity.

    You know it makes sense

    Yeah we've gone over this in length already, but that's not how fear and control propaganda works, you need to convince an entire civilisation that they're at risk. That's what paralyses a country and its people.

    Actually this is probably what your friend was talking about

    Human biosecurity emergency declared in Australia

    A " biosecurity emergency" is declared

    Ooooh, which means pretending to do shit, whilst not really doing shit

    Just means health Minister can do mini lockdowns if their is an outbreak somewhere

    I think it can't live without a host... Once it has run its course in everyone that's sick and is no longer contagious, we are in the clear. But in order for that to happen, I think some level of quarantine is probably appropriate.
