Melbourne back in 6 week lockdown July 7

[billy the kid]

The sad thing about this plandemic is that by about the end of the year, when the politicians have given up...
...they will lie to us as they silently introduce herd immunity....they will tell us lies about what they have done,
what they have achieved, and pat themselves on the back, and continue to draw their lucrative wages whilst
the economy takes years to recover.....
Ordinary peoples lives will have been destroyed by political decisions based on "health experts" opinions
and we will simply have to suck it up...
The politicians will not be held accountable...
They never have been and never will be.....
The politicians of this country have not lost one cent over this plandemic.....
Not one fkn cent.........

They are grossly and obscenely overpaid.

The Spanish Flu killed more than World War I

It did -
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet's population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans.

and they didn't close down Melbourne or did they?

I would imagine not.

There were many new laws but I don't see any lockdowns and curfews:

................. The outbreak hit Melbourne in December 1918. Local authorities were aware of the devastating effects of the disease in Europe, and took precautions to limit its impact. Strict procedures were in place before the virus attacked. The border between Victoria and New South Wales was closed; public meetings of twenty or more people were prohibited; travel in long distance trains was restricted; loitering ‘under the clocks’ at Flinders Street station was strictly forbidden; and people were encouraged to wear masks in public. In a desperate effort to stave off the virus, the disinfectant phenyl was also poured into ‘two or three carts used for sprinkling [Melbourne] city streets.’

To what degree these precautions controlled the spread is open to conjecture. Still, and probably because it was summer, Australia escaped relatively lightly compared to India, China and Europe. About 12,500 died nationally from the pandemic; around 30 percent of these were Victorians. So great were the number of people taken ill that the Exhibition Building was converted into an emergency hospital between February and August 1919. Around 500 beds were initially set up inside the building, for it was originally intended the temporary hospital would only deal with convalescing patients. But within a few days of opening on 4 February under pressure of demand the scheme broke down and bed numbers quickly increased to 2 000. ................

things were different then.
Here is a unique and infamous case of typhoid.
She was asymptomatic of typhoid and worked as a cook.

......... Mary Mallon was born in 1869 in Cookstown, County Tyrone, in what is now Northern Ireland. Presumably, she was born with typhoid because her mother was infected during pregnancy.[4][5][6] At the age of 15, she migrated to the United States.[5][7] She lived with her aunt and uncle for a time and worked as a maid, but eventually became a cook for affluent families.[8][9]

Career
From 1900 to 1907, Mallon worked as a cook in the New York City area for eight families, seven of which contracted typhoid.[10][11] In 1900, she worked in Mamaroneck, New York, where within two weeks of her employment, residents developed typhoid fever. In 1901, she moved to Manhattan, where members of the family for whom she worked developed fevers and diarrhea, and the laundress died. Mallon then went to work for a lawyer and left after seven of the eight people in that household became ill.[12][13]

In June 1904, she was hired by a prosperous lawyer, Henry Gilsey. Within a week, the laundress was infected with typhoid, and soon four of the seven servants were ill. No members of Gilsey's family were infected, because they resided separately, and the servants lived in their own house. The investigator Dr. R. L. Wilson concluded that the laundress had caused the outbreak, but he failed to prove it. Immediately after the outbreak began, Mallon left and moved to Tuxedo Park,[14] where she was hired by George Kessler. Two weeks later, the laundress in his household was infected and taken to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center, where her case of typhoid was the first in a long time.[9] ..........
