Australian officials extended lockdown and social distancing measures to more of the country on Wednesday, with four major cities already under a hard lockdown in a race to contain an outbreak of the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant.

Around one in two Australians are under stay-at-home orders, with millions of others subjected to movement curbs and mandatory mask-wearing amid Covid-19 flare-ups in several locations.

With more than five million residents of greater Sydney under a two-week lockdown until July 9, New South Wales state reported 22 new locally transmitted Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, all linked to prior infections.

That was up slightly from the previous two days, but still below the peak of the current outbreak of 30 new cases reported on Sunday.

“New South Wales is demonstrating a steady rate of cases at this stage ...but to date our fears about huge escalation haven’t materialized and we certainly want to keep it that way,” state Premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney.

When Australians have to start eating one another because of the lockdowns I wonder if they will realize they have been tricked into killing themselves?

Solution: seize CCP assets in US and DEMAND they dismantle Wuhan lab.
Gain of function bio weapons labs are a threat to civilization.
Then demand DISMANTLING of every bio weapons lab in the 🌎

No more Frankenstein and bio weapons labs should exist FOR ANY REASON.
Congress needs to DEMAND all records of NIH monetary support and PROSECUTE.

In the entire country, they have 343 ACTIVE cases, not hospitalizations, but total cases.

How many of those are in 'critical' condition? One.

The so-called 'delta variant' is less lethal than the original strain. It's less lethal than the seasonal flu.

In October of 2020, Australia had 905 total COVID deaths. Eight months later, they've added - wait for it - FIVE more deaths. For some perspective, in that same period of time, they've suffered over 1,500 suicides. Australian government is out of control.

Well it would be interesting information if it were more than just one person online saying it.

I have half my family living there and they have not indicated this.

Hence my interest.
