Wow, I've just read the last two pages of this thread, and can't believe how it's gone down hill so fast? Covid-19 is real, it doesn't care what your politics are, if you get it, you'll get sick, and depending on your age and state of health it may kill you, your friends and your loved ones. The reason other countries (like Oz) have had so few deaths (126 last time I looked) is because our various governments didn't politicize the virus, they took action on advice from the experts: doctors, not other politicians.
Sure, the situation here is not perfect. Mistakes have been made, people with their heads in the sand have flouted the law, and our state government bungled the enforcement of isolation of folks with CV at 3 hotels which has caused a second wave. We're locked down for 6 weeks, and from midnight tonight, if we do go out (for essential reasons only) we have to wear masks. It's a pain in the arse, no-one wants to be told to stay home, but we want this virus gone as soon as possible, and if this is the only way to achieve it, then so be it.
The first step anywhere to ensure this threat is removed, is to agree that it exists, and take the advice of the experts, not the politicians.
