(CNN)In the window of a vintage shop in the Sydney suburb of Annandale, a sign expresses the frustration of many Australians with their country's pandemic strategy.

"Dear Customers, We will be closed for the foreseeable future because Scott Morrison is a useless dickhead who only ordered enough vaccine to vaccinate 4% of the population 18 months into a pandemic," reads the sign, shared on Twitter, in reference to the Australian Prime Minister. Artist James Powditch put up the testy sign at the Roulette store and art studio he runs on Saturday, as the city of 5 million people, plus towns and cities in its surrounds, went into yet another hard lockdown, this time for two whole weeks. By Sunday, a cluster of coronavirus infections of the Delta variant that began in Sydney's Bondi neighborhood had grown to 110 cases.

This so-called Delta variant is apparently highly transmissible. AUS should have spent time and energy on vaccinations instead of dicking around with lockdowns.

In countries who are loyal to the Queen, individual rights are granted as the government wills.

You got that right. The Constitutions that represent their principles are guidelines and feel-like-its.

They are a big player in the plan for “The Great Reset”. They were caught very red handed.

Hopefully it’ll just collapse as a “nation”, all the hand wringing Englishmen will leave for a Safe Space somewhere, and the hardy Abos will live on just getting through all the diseases thrown at them over the last 30,000 years or so.

Maybe Australia was viable when it was populated by tough convicts sentenced to Transportation but obviously that got bred out of them as carpetbaggers from limp wrist land showed up when they heard the weather was nice. Now it’s just a bunch of queer limeys who run and hide at the first sign of any hardship. Oz it ain’t no more.

"How long can Australia go on like this?"

For as long as the Australian people let it go on.

Australia has been locked down like a drum for a year. That’s why it’s spreading. Lockdowns and maskerbation and all of the rest of the ChinaVirus theatre just delays the inevitable. In fact, maskerbation doesn’t even do that, unless you get literally everyone to not only use brand new N95 masks each time they go out, and to WEAR THEM PROPERLY. Good luck with that. Most maskerbaters have their big snorting dribbly noses hanging out, if they’re not just wearing a “chin diaper” to begin with. It’s all horse dung.

Since more vaccinated than unvaccinated are getting the “variants”, why would reasonable people tempt fate and get a vaccine which makes them vulnerable to variants?

This has been a very important controversy in COVID public health management.

What is happening in Australia right now is elegant proof of the "dry tinder" hypothesis.

Yes, you can stop community transmission of COVID by following the Australia/New Zealand/Iceland policy - that's been obvious for a year.

The controversy has been over, "what happens when there's a break in the wall?"

And now we know, or are about to find out. All the susceptibles, who did not catch it in a first or second wave, get it at once.

No, they should of done nothing but keep borders secure and trade open. They have no business pushing vaccines or being in charge of health.

Delta is more easily transmissible but far, far less dangerous. The survival rate is something like 99.9% and the same comorbidity laden people are the most easily killed by it.

Brand new n95 wouldn’t work either, so masks are completely useless. Unless people want to cruise around in sealed hazmat suits, which I doubt, there is nothing to be done.
