Melbourne back in 6 week lockdown July 7

I was just mentioning a headline I saw I never once said it was likely or true

[Bobby]

Just saw the news from India.
Half the people they tested in a small town have
Covid-19 anti-bodies and hardly any even got sick.
If Daniel had just let it rip through the community
we'd be the same.
You can't stop it and Daniel has led us on a fools errand ruining
our economy and locking us down like prisoners.

Already today I have wasted a lot of time buying something
using click and collect and
guess what? - it doesn't work.
What a stuff up.
It's already cost me two trips there & back -
in the car and it will cost me another trip tomorrow
to buy a working one from somewhere else.

My frustration is only 1% of what most people are going through.
Anyone working has to get a signed travel permit to go to work.
Even people like Jim's mowing who have no contact
with their customers can't work under Dan's crazy laws.
We've had enough of Dan's crap.

They are never going to stop it and they should never have allowed the mass protests in Sydney or Melbourne.

If people want a job to go back to they need to get out and be sensible.

The biggest problem is that there is always a percentage of people who will ignore regulations, advice and lockdowns. Each time they get out and spread themselves around without adequate precautions or protections the rest of us will get locked down.

We need to protect ourselves. We can't hide indoors forever.

We need to take protection measures - wear masks etc but
all this lockdown stuff is going too far.
If people die they die - including me -
that's nature.
The "cure" is worse than the disease.
You cannot win against nature -
anymore than you can stand on a beach
and tell the tide not to come in.

We're also never going to achieve herd immunity locked up either. Obviously we need to be sensible though and utilise our own protections.

That's true - what's the bet we get herd immunity before we get a vaccine?
Spanish Flu died out without any vaccine.

It's no use destroying the economy and the livelihoods of millions
of people and turning the rest of their lives into misery -
people would be better off dead.

The hospitals could not cope if the virus were allowed free reign.

Just my opinion but I doubt we will get a vaccine. The common cold is a coronavirus and we've never had a vaccine for that.

There's new viruses coming out of China all the time. We'd do better to keep the Chinese in China.
