Well it seems they need a tighter lockdown. And less booze delivered to the subjects.

The Dingos must be feasting on all of the dead bodies.

It’s the phony test that keeps the fear going.

If Covid tests have a false positive rate that’s greater than zero, how will they ever get the number of “cases” down to zero? I suggest that they stop testing.

FIVE deaths...out of SIX million people. And probably 4 of those were “with COVID.”

What a horrendous situation! Must implement tyranny. Lockdowns forever!

Cases = positive tests. Many of those testing positive will feel bad for a few days.A few will require hospitalization.A tiny number will require an ICU. And about 0.02% will die...and most of them will be over 80 or have a pre existing condition.

Looks like there are Aussie politicians who are into panic porn...just as is true here.

“I suggest that they stop testing.”

I think the only valid reason for testing is in the very earliest stages of an incipient pandemic when you MIGHT be able to do contact tracing and contain the sick. Once the pandemic is global and the disease ubiquoutous, what’s the point of testing? Especially with high false positive rates.

There are demonstrations against the lock downs in Awfulstralia. That’s more than I can say here.

They are going to have to destroy the village to save it—nothing else seems to work.

More lockdown. You must stay in your bathroom and get 3 more shots.

Next the Aussies will have to destroy their cities in order to save them.

All activity stops! Stay in your house and await further instructions from the government! Close all windows so stray virus particles cannot enter, etc...

The madness knows no bounds.

Getting closer to coming here. People at some point will have to wake from their stupor and say Enough.

Me and my wife just got over COVID. Took me three tests just to get a positive (they are barely putting the swab in the nose anymore). I have documented my story. Negative antibodies, then positive test, then positive antibodies. As bullshit as their reliance on antibodies is, that’s what they will use. If they ever are forced to recognize natural immunity, I want to have evidence. I have been work from home for 18 months with two delays on the office reopening. But sooner or later, we will be back and they haven’t announced the rules.

I thought more people have gotten jabbed in Australia lately due to the government imposing, er I mean imploring, them to.

Wait...maybe that’s the problem.

Meanwhile, in sweden, where no Draconian moves against individual freedom we’re done, everything is just fine. Maybe someone could learn something from this.

No, it won’t come here. We still have guns and they know it. There’s only so much they can do in the United States before things get really ugly. And again, they know it.

I suggest they freak out - and pass out Ivermectin.

They can trade coal to India for it.
