But that's the problem Dave, we are in a very unique position down here that we don't have the same risks.Dave The Man wrote:You look overseas where they are getting upwards of 10's and 100's of Thousand Cases a Day overseas and I think that is enough to make the Government Scared as they don't want it here like everyone else should be.stui magpie wrote:The thing with epidemiologists is that they are singularly focused.

I do look forward to how they'll stuff it up, expect them to suddenly ban crowds at 10am on the first day after they find 1 case 300kms away...
every state says they rely on the health advice yet every state has a different approach. seems to be the usual routine, you pick the people you ask a question of in order to get the answer you wanted in the first place.
Just look in England at the Moment where they have pretty much no more Room for Sick People in Hospital
People can't live in fear because of what's happening overseas, the Australian approach to Covid has been successful so far, even the biggest stuff up of all by Dan pales in significance of anything overseas which shows just how much better off we are here.
HQ means even if it escapes its one thread that can spread but can be tracked with competent contact tracing teams. Overseas they'll have multiple sources seeding at high rates it's impossible to control.
But it is funny how when Dan stuffed up they wanted to compare how well Victoria did compared to other countries. Yet now Gladys has completely lost control with a handful of daily cases, so hypocritical.
You can't live your life in fear, there is always some major disaster somewhere that someone is reporting as the beginning of the end, if you let them all concern you then you can't enjoy life.
