Coronavirus 3 - Al Pacino's turn to mumble

[watt price tully]

Commonwealth legislation governs the running of Aged Care but the Federal Government actually runs next to zero Aged Care facilities. They are run by private NFP, Private FP and government NFP.

Same situation and coincidentally same blame game.

And the Commonwealth is responsible for it. Same deal as with airports and quarantine. You can outsource implementation but you can't shirk responsibility.

The Commonwealth has aged-care standards and inspectors to enforce them. What did they actually do? Nothing. Absolutely bloody nothing. They had one job: to inspect aged care facilities and ensure that they were up to the standards set down for them. And they did .... nothing whatsoever.

The responsible minister was so out of touch that he didn't even know how many of the people he was responsible for had died of Covid on his watch. Any minister in any decent, moral government anywhere in the world would resign in disgrace after such an appalling neglect of duty. In Japan, you'd be locking up the pills and hiding the razor blades. Not on Scummo's watch: no such thing as responsibility here mate, he only does marketing.

Correct weight.

Speaking of incompetent ministers, how good is Lisa Neville? Decided they didn’t need any plans for workers getting sick because it would be impossible for it to occur.

Guess babysitting is harder than Ms Neville realised...

So how many more times will hotel quarantine workers roam the cities whilst infected with this supposedly worse strain of Covid without passing it on to anyone, not even in their own homes, before governments stop panicking about the ‘UK strain’?

Nah, bullshit.

Granted the responsible minister isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but it would have been hard to keep up with the number given how fast Dan was killing them. Apply the bolded bit to Dandrews.

And another case from Victoria's Hotel Quarantine.

Interesting how people get obsessed with where people have travelled. The first case had people saying they don't go to that many places on their holidays and the second has people commenting on her going to Dan Murphy's twice in 2 days. Like I give a crap where they've been as long as they tell the contact tracers.

And also, there's now concerns that one of the vaccines may be ineffective against the Sth African strain of the virus and some people are suggesting that it's going to be years before things approach any form of what used to be normal.

[eddiesmith]

Yet some people wanted the vaccine rushed through without any proper process being followed.

As for HQ workers, what a shock, yet when it’s run by a Minister who is so arrogant and incompetent it was bound to happen. They’ve been extremely lucky it took this long.

Agreed, though I suspect many more of us are going to have to start going to Dan Murphy's on a daily basis at this rate!

Blow Dan Murphy, it was the visit to the bong shop that raised eyebrows.

I'm not even sure if they sell bongs anymore, they mainly sell clothes and jewelry. https://www.offyatree.com.au/

Maybe she's into body piercings?

[Tannin]

^ Haven't bought one in a while? You are slipping, old chap.

[stui magpie]

Yeah, last one I bought was in 1986.

[Tannin]

You remember 1986? Wow!

I was always taught that if you can remember the 80s, you weren't there.

Or was the the 70s?

Doesn't matter, I can't remember any of it.

[Pies4shaw]

As Collingwood supporters, we should try not to remember either decade.

I don't remember all of it, but yeah, chunks of the 80's bits of the 70's and even some snippets of the 60's.

Some of that pain is what formed us. Also the substance abuse.
