CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

This is what you need to be more worried about than Dan's actions.

A young involuntary celibate loser, fully viral loaded and as deadly to some people as a bullet, deliberately spreading Sars-CoV-2 like some sort of viral warfare jihadi!

But you have to feel sorry for him as well, he'll end up a loner, killing relatives and friends as well as "the enemy", maybe he'll kill even more friends and relatives than enemies if his associates and relatives follow his anti-vaxx edict!

It doesn't matter what his mental state is like, how well he is educated, what religion he follows, his race, colour, wealth and post-code are all irrelevant. The only thing that matters is he has made a decision to effectively fully weaponize his infection.

You as an individual can't defend yourself against this, so the only thing authorities can do is lockdown everyone and hope that good people do the right thing, which will highlight those who don't, limit the damage they can do and make them easier to detect!

An inconvenient truth, Spotted One. Well said. Nail. Head.

One of our biggest worries, even enemies, walks among us.

Too simple and easy to see problems through the eyes of our political ideologies. The human need for blame and scapegoating is only fed by blind loyalty to an ideology. Einstein once said (paraphrased) that once you see the world through a political ideology, you no longer have use for your brain. You only need the brain stem... to breathe and walk. You'll think what you're told to by your chosen blind loyalty. It's why I don't have a political allegiance. Personally, I think there is no difference between the far right and far left... both ends house zealots and fools (is that tautology?).

The essence, IMHO, of what you posted Spotted One -- a searing truth -- is that most blame for the spread of this virus lies at the feet of those within the community who refute the virus or its dangers and hence disregard safeguards for them, their friends and families and the broader community at large. Equally, the anti-vaxxer lunies. Then there are those who just don't give a sh1t about others. Then there are those who are oblivious due to some cognitive impairment or cultural isolation or language/communication difficulties.

Yes, had SloMo and the Federal Govt at large not been so disgracefully negligent of their responsibility to aged care, then the shocking Victorian death toll last year would not have been anywhere near 800+. And the operators of these aged care facilities also have blood on their hands.

Yes, had Gladys been more pro-active and less politically driven then NSW would not be going through this horror today.

Yes, had Dan acted sooner last year than he did the death toll would have been far less... and the failings of the Feds and aged care operators wouldn't have been so exposed. An unfortunate team effort!

But as is often the case in a community problem of this magnitude, relying on politicians to 'save' us is pointless. This is our problem. And by each and everyone one of us committing to measures that minimise virus transmission -- masks, social distancing, hand sanitizing -- then we have half a chance.

BUT, there is one more measure, an exceedingly important ingredient in slowing this contagions spread. Us. The community. Calling out those who flagrantly break the laws of lockdown and the laws of social responsibility. Not aggressively or violently. Each in our own way. The Fluffy One gave dissenters he encountered a stern and effective look that changed behaviour. I did it my way last Wednesday. CC did it his way. A photo of dissenters to police. A phone call to police with a rego number. We need to assist and support the cops in this highly unpleasant task. Though very mindful NOT to cross the line into vigilantism.

These dissenters need to know that the greater community is opposed to their behaviour. And that we will act.
