I prefer the “it’s better to be safe than sorry” way of thinking. People like you couldn’t give a shit but having an eighty nine year old mum, I want the health authorities to do whatever they need to do to keep her safe. No bowing down to far right wing freaks who want to deny reality. Those folks can go join the right wing dumbos like the proud boys in the states

You must be the only person in the universe with a 92 year old grandmother. I only have a 97 year old father and a 92 year old mother.

Do try to get a grip.

If people had died, you'd just accuse them of being incompetent for not preventing that. It's your only position - it doesn't seem to matter to you whether they do something that works or not, you have a counterfactual in which everything would have been better. It's beyond tedious.

Unlike the cheerleaders who say everything the Victorian government does is perfect...

Yet those same people criticise everything the NSW government does, but you only call out people who disagree with you...

Btw were still waiting for the second wave and hundreds of deaths from NSW that was forecast here after they didn’t lockdown over Christmas. You don’t want to call them out? Oh wait, you were one of them :wink:

So, what am I to take from that none-response - that you accept that your posting on COVID is inconsistent, self-serving drivel but you think it makes it OK that other people post a different view from you?

I was commenting on your ridiculous persistence with trying to have it both ways, not on the fact that you disagree with me. Plenty of people do.

Where’s the inconsistency? Lockdowns are stupid and completely unnecessary with a handful of cases, that’s never changed whether it’s been Victoria, WA,QLD or SA locking down unnecessarily because governments love control.

We know the Dan fans think lockdowns are an absolute must with even one case because otherwise there is a 0.000000001% chance of an elderly relative getting sick if we don’t...Like how you were all so adamant that NSW would completely lose control of they didn’t and as usual, you were all wrong.

Your continuing inconsistency lies precisely where I said it does. Let me say it again, very simply for you: When COVID gets out of hand in Victoria, you say the Government is inept. When COVID doesn't get out of hand in Victoria, you say the Government is inept.

Australia’s Vaccine rollout is an unmitigated disaster reports The Murdoch Press:


“...the Federal Government has seen the vaccine rollout not as a public health programme but as a political issue, complete with Liberal Party logo on a vaccine announcement...”

Scotty from Marketing needs to go, he is a disgrace.

The same ‘expert’ who predicted Australians to die in large numbers and run out of ventilators in weeks a year ago...

You love a good doom and gloom ‘expert’

How’s the ABC spin doctors expert advice on the NSW second wave and mass deaths going?

Maybe the reason frontline health workers are t vaccinated is because states are holding vaccines in reserve and wasting them on people who aren’t a high priority instead of vaccinating their Covid ward doctors and nurses first...

But then again you defended a government treating quarantine as a logistics and babysitting exercise instead of a health issue last year.

I don’t follow any propaganda machine, unlike you who listens to the Twitter propaganda machine being run by an alleged rapist that you take as gospel

No locally acquired cases in Victoria for 40 days. 1 active case (the international air crew member from hotel quarantine a week or two back).
