Seriously? You can't make this stuff up...
From 7:00pm the Walgett Shire LGA will be under stay-at-home orders for a week, as well as Bogan, Bourke, Brewarrina, Coonamble, Gilgandra, Narromine, and Warren. Health authorities say a man who returned a positive COVID test is from Walgett, 230km east of Bourke, and was in Dubbo and Bathurst during his infectious period. He was tested on Saturday while in custody at the prison in a routine screening procedure for new inmates. He was released on bail on Monday. He was confirmed as a COVID-positive case this afternoon. What the hell happened to "Thou shall isolate until zee test is negative"? Keep the asrehole in prison until his test comes back, and then release him on bail. FFS. |

No point making a rule and not being willing and able to enforce it effectively. That's the half-arsed way of doing it. I get it. It has to be "enforced" on the same cohort who zoom past me at traffic lights when I stop on the red, or the person who crossed a train line when the boom gates are down and the lights flashing. Or is this the start of a Darwinian period in human history? |

Having lived in “other countries “ for many years.. some people don’t believe laws apply to them. At the moment .. they should all be arrested . |
3 out of 4 of the big airlines in the USA have backed out of vaccine mandates because the staff and unions aren’t having it

Doherty institute modelling for Delta - up to 5000 or so deaths across Australia if no lockdowns imposed and virus left unchecked.
Is that an ‘acceptable’ number? Each one of us has a different opinion. Those unaffected by the devastation to livelihoods will have a differing view than those of us most affected. We are getting close to “let it rip”. |
FIFY: We are getting close to it ripping, whether we like it or not.

Thanks to Gladys gold standard it’s ripping in NSW East to as far west as the border now. North as Balina only a matter of days before Albury is hit.

As I say that another thought just came through. What if the virus was the same as the flu incubation period of 3 days. I don't think lockdowns would never eventuate. |

NSW has fallen. |
So NSW, VIC and ACT in lockdown, QLD heavily restricted how do these decision makers think the general population can survive. It’s definitely looking liking the cure is worse than the disease.

Oh please. Or until they change the target to 91% or the current measures don’t work for the new variants, or all preschoolers, cats and dogs need to now be vaccinated, so let’s lock it all down again blah blah blah. These wankers are making it up on the run. Governments aren’t capable of organising a church picnic let alone protecting its people through a real emergency. Anyone who accepts the BS coming from the Governments mouths is living in cloud cuckoo land.

Can I ask you what your expectation is of how life will be if we do that. |

Here's some interesting stats,
From the 15th to the 28th July 2019 Victoria registered 204 (54 businesses) personal insolvencies including business owners. From 12th of July to 25th July 2021 only 41 (11 businesses) insolvencies were recorded. Since the 13th of July 2020 the insolvency figure has not risen above 100 per fortnight. https://www.afsa.gov.au/about-us/sta...ncy-statistics Why the figure has dropped so much, no idea, it's way against what even I was thinking. |

So you think locking down the entire ACT with a financial impact of hundreds of millions of dollars, probably more, because 1 person has COVID, is a great idea for a virus that infects around 1% of the population with deaths mainly occurring in the over 80 years of age bracket?Seriously, you people have lost the plot. This is insanity.

Trusting Government statistics is like putting trust in a rapist at a school carnival that he won’t offend. House prices are up, inflation is creeping up, unemployment is down. A survey of businesses has found 20% of business is struggling to find enough workforce etc etc. If you are a Pilot, well these are the hard times the old pilots have talked about. Part of the job, boom bust etc. Now there were some extra bankruptcy protections added in 2020, but the rate should have been much higher by now with the 6 month period ended for the first round. |

And I’m not going to answer the question as it will only see me labelled as a conspiracy theorist and create space for ongoing attacks. I will leave it to you serving pilots/epidemiologists (jack of all trades) to continue with your belief that these shutdowns are the key to future happy days. 👍

You do realise they threw darts at a board to come up with that number. It's what public health do on Friday nights when they get on the beers. Because they are so faceless who's to say that I'm wrong. |

The only real way out, is for everyone to be on the same page and call it out. There needs to be accountability, in which, nobody seems to be taking!!!!!! |

Just an idiotic statement, everything in the economy agrees with the figures. As I've said all along there is no evidence of extra bankruptcies, suicides etc. You need to get your head checked if you are starting to think the world is against you, that is known as Paranoia, and is a mental illness.

You are serious, right? So all those city cafe’s are doing fine? So the tourism industry is doing wonderful and not bleeding to death? Those thousands of taxi’s in the lockdown cities are doing a roaring trade? Mate, take a look at every sector and not just one or two areas. And you think that rising inflation is a good thing? Again, try studying finance. And finally, good old house prices being pushed up by people panicking about getting a home at any cost. Yep, no bubble or risk there. The Australian house bubble has been tipped to burst since the Howard years, guess what, its still bubbling, and the reasoning is sound. Australia can afford it. The reality is that Joe Older Guy who has owned property in the inner city for 50 years can just sell up his house and buy an apartment or bigger house in the burbs and still have cash left. He then gives his kids a leg up into the housing industry and they buy a house in the burbs or city, keeping the prices up. Until that cash runs out Aussie homes will stay high. A large proportion of home owners own their house outright. Again don't base your beliefs on just what is your situation. Good mate is a 50+ year real-estate agent in the suburbs, he sees no end to the prices steadily rising, unless of course something completely left field happens, way worse than covid. BTW a year ago both of us though house prices would crash due to Covid, we were very wrong. |

Exactly 43, thats exactly whats happening. The so called 'National Cabinet' needs to come clean, let the people that elected them see the documents they base their decisions on. They are Public Servants, not Dictators. Your 'sweeping' responses are a farce for the rest of the community that have their own intelligence! |
