Spot on, the dollar is toast.
“So we have wiped put our airline industry, decimated our economy......for 6 deaths.”
No, this is largely an economic collapse that was going to happen anyway. The virus is just the pin that pricked the massive economic bubble.
The blame lies with a massively over leveraged and corrupt banking and finance sector along with ponzi style fractional reserve banking (now zero here in the USA) and central bankers willing to sweep the problems under the carpet all in the name of fake growth that assist the political class.
Oh, and an ignorant electorate that paid no attention as we got lots of cheap goodies.
“Should we not close our borders permanently to keep hiv/aids out?”
According to Andrew Grulich, head of the HIV Epidemiology and Prevention Program at the Kirby Institute, the number of HIV deaths in Australia is so low that “ it was not even recorded.”
Conversely, C19 will kill possibly up to 200,000 Australians. There is a significant difference.
Same can be said for:
“….why didn't we have travel bans, border closures and mass panic with these numbers….”
12,000 is not the same as 1,500,000.
I am astonished that people still think this is a media beat up.
