No you’re wrong! They’re planning another BLM protest in Hyde park Sydney this weekend NSW Police currently trying to have it blocked in the Supreme Court as we speak, if it does go ahead the NSW Police commissioner said this morning he will instruct his officers to issue infringement for breached social distancing rules, if they issue 10000 fines then so be it.
These BLM protester are idiots they’re doing more harm than good for the cause they represent.

But IIRC the ban for the BLM protest was overturned in NSW courts - which is actually gives more validity to those wanting to protest.
Dan and his Vic colleagues said repeatedly "Don't Go etc", but stopped short of banning it, most likely due to legal advice that the ban would be overturned, emboldening the protesters' position.

...This [mask wearing] , of course, can lead to death.

QF group are very edgy to get going.
Today they announced the next phase of Melbourne expansion. The day after lockdown ends.
They also released the Queensland schedule the day after also.
All these people given false hope about travelling to QLD, will they be given refunds or credits when they are told they are not going. Perhaps this is some form of ploy to get people turning their savings into credits within the QF group?
Madness if they think she is opening the borders up the day after.

Well what a difference a few days has made. We are losing the containment battle and we can blame that on the attitudes of the few that think this is a nothingness and determined to blatantly continue doing their own thing with reckless abandonment.
The chances of any return to some sort of normality in the next 6 months is lost. All eyes on Queensland and the ASX.

There needs to be a mandatory custodial sentence for anyone shown to have been at large while knowingly infected. And it should be retroactive to include Shaggs Security too.
Totally agree. You only have to look at Sweden. Just noting that unless they can get it under control more people than not may get the virus even though herd immunity is not what they are trying to achieve.

It will be a long time before 'more people than not' get this virus in Victoria !
Total cases under 7000 in a population of 6.3 million.
Other estimates from serology tests puts it at around 2% of the population currently. (Dr Chant NSW CHO comments)

0.12% of the population has been confirmed to have had the virus.
Basically, stuff all of the Melbourne population has been infected. Herd immunity would not be achievable...

There have been approximately 6000 cases in the Melbourne area (the majority of these have since recovered), for a population of approximately 5,000,000.

Taiwan the most successful....no lockdown.....masks mandatory in public and on public transport
masks readily available....eg 711 stores and subsidised by government according to my mate there.
25 million people on an island half the size of Tasmania, 7 deaths and around 430 cases.

I’m in Taiwan and all you say is 100% true except about masks being compulsory. That has been relaxed recently - still required on public transport (MRT, buses, aircraft etc.). Some restaurants still taking temperature. But overall life is very normal here - there never has been a lockdown because the government secured the borders very early.

Pity the military isn't involved with the quarantine system here.
NZ did, at least at management level, when others showed they were not up to the task.
The ones I see are doing a pretty fair job bolstering law enforcement.
They know how to guard stuff.
They are already paid for.
Cock ups are not tolerated.
Whats not to like?

If we have to blame one person, it is him indeed. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And every Australian should be angry. Angry for the next decade even.
I hope his name lives on as the biggest cluster$&@# in the history of Australian Politics. That would make me happier.
