Gladys Berejiklian has introduced coronavirus restrictions across greater Sydney as the state records 30 new coronavirus cases, prompting another wave of border restrictions and throwing Christmas plans into disarray.

The New South Wales premier said the new restrictions were introduced to prevent the virus from seeding in other areas of Sydney, after the list of exposure sites grew overnight to include a number of restaurants in the eastern suburbs and a cafe in Forster on the mid north coast.

68 cases! The horror!

The world's response to COVID-19 makes me despair for individual freedoms worldwide. There seems to be no corner of the globe that can resist the statists and their desire to make all of us submit and be controlled. Not even the US anymore.

Especially when you consider this:

This area, the Northern Beaches, has a population of about 250,000 people.

Australia uses "contact tracing" and their numbers are now small enough that contact tracing is currently effective.
Up until three weeks ago, residents of certain States were unable to visit in another State in Australia.
Current problem is that Australians, upon their return to home from an infected country, are State ordered into quarantine at specified hotels
at their own expense (currently per person :$3,000. in Australia dollars).
Many cannot afford that expense, and so are stuck in foreign lands, with no job, no income, and arraigning housing as they are able,
until they can return home.

Something is up.

The AMA has reversed itself on the used of HCQ.

Ivermectin is clearly a proven prophylaxis.

But you hear nothing but fear mongering.

The West entire is beginning to react to the draconian isolation measures.Is disorder the goal?

Its weird to say the least.
