So, a young bloke just walking down the street is gunna drop dead from blood clots and stroke?
That is absolutely terrifying. I vote we lock down the whole of Australia, inside their houses with absolutely zero permission to leave that house under any circumstance for two years.
This will have the secondary effect of finally reaching our road toll goal of zero deaths. It will also mean zero heart attack, cancer and other health issue deaths. Amazing.
Lets do it everyone, 'We're All In This Together' (Don't just say it, sing it in your best Kum Ba Yah voice).

Who's arguing against the current lockdown Sunfish? Victorians have gotten exactly what they deserve. Except of course the Mornington Peninsula, and regional Victoria, well they have to cop the consequences of you lot in Melbourne. Indescriminate stupidity.

Scientists have also proven that idiotic cliche is a poor defence against covid-19.
Anybody arguing against the current lockdown is so bad at maths that they shouldn’t hold a pilot license.
So should Professor Foster hand back her qualifications as well?

We hear incessantly the 'what about if your dad, mum, brother, sister gets it?' Well, we'll be starting to hear about the people taking their own lives in the next 6 to 12 months, this pressure takes time. Anyone who knows a ambo or police officer will be hearing about the extras they're picking up.
I'd suggest that the lockdown zealots will not be able to watch that 2 minutes with an open mind or critical thinking. I'd suggest that the lockdowns won't finish until those sucking on the federal government and state government teats start losing their jobs, until the boomers start losing their franked dividends and the banks don't pay dividends for a couple of years. Then we'll start hearing the whinging.

If you ever attended University you would know that there are some crackpot professors around, and legions of really quite good ones. Just like I don’t heed anti-vaxxers and climate deniers, I eschew people of whatever qualifications advancing ideas that are self-evidently wrong.
Must be the boomer in me.

I still don't get where you're coming from bodie, are you saying that if all the borders were open and restrictions dropped that everything will go back to normal like it was pre-covid
There is a video on SBS news tonight showing what breakdown looks like in a modern South African hospital. The staff have fled. Bloody rubbish in untended wards. Rats drinking blood on the floor. Overflowing toilets.
That is not because of the lethality of the virus, on that we are agreed.
It is because of the logistics of medical response to sick people - the logistics failed.
That same thing will happen in Australia if we listen to idiots wanting to open up for business.
‘If that happens now, you are in a drag race between the ability to provide medical care and the number of cases. We will lose that race until we have a vaccine.
‘’Take America - 3 million cases, 130,000 dead. Probably five times that many hospitalized, say1.3 million.
Now America is 300 million people. Extrapolate conservatively. 60 million cases. 25000000 dead and 26 million needing medical care. No system can handle those numbers.

Yeah I have family who are medical staff and their concern is PPE, they don't want to be taking any risks should equipment supply, rubbish removal and sterilisation be compromised. The girls are seriously concerned about that. We have planned to keep all the girls in one home and support food and washing supply while the rest of us live in another home so there's less risk between family members.
I asked her what if you are presented with a patient who is a known pro let it rip and went to all the rallies. She just walked away and didn't respond.

I’ve been around a while, and Sunfish has been bagged constantly, I’ve never
personally attacked Sunfish even though he is the Bain of many posters here,
but I think he’s right on this one, in fact I don’t think pilots careers matter anymore
we are collateral damage and much more scary things are going to happen, such as
nuclear bombs, foreign troops invading, and basically mad max disasters. You may
think this virus is a sham but so did the western world when Nazi Germany started.
This is a virus brought by China to inflict maximum damage, they will follow up.

I don't know about that Angle, but collateral damage would be right, You know most Retired Airline Pilots when they flew their last line flight, didn't know it was their last flight at the time.
I'm inclined to agree with Allan Joyce on the statement that domestic demand and capacity is likely to be 40% of what it was pre-covid, for the next couple of years. I think the time frame is optimistic depending on how deep and for how long the recession that follows.
