AerialPerspective, brilliant post. That is absolutely accurate, succinct and correct.
Bettergetreal; sadly you are wrong. Australians pride themselves on helping mates and being there for each other, but when you see fist fights over turd paper in a shopping isle and a child dying in hospital becasuse he couldn’t get basic medication because a bunch of selfish panicking ***** have stripped the chemist store bare buying excess supplies that will last them through a nuclear winter, you realise the Australian ‘mateship’ is long gone.
Make no mistake, like it or not, COVID-19 should be the least of people’s concerns. The economic fabric of the entire globe is disintegrating. This is an event that cannot be compared to 1919, 1987, 2008 and so on. There will be ‘no return to normality’ once this is finished. When things return the world will be a different landscape - economically, politically, society as a collective.
