We have witnessed the failed Gladys mockdown experiment in NSW, and the scrambling today to impose further restrictions there.
And we have heard the Far Right mouthpiece, Jeff Kennett, giving his view to all and sundry about the need to "learn to live with the virus", although never giving details of how that might be done.
Given the rising number of unlinked cases in the community in Melbourne, what do you suggest we should do?

In the kids playground was a young mum with two kids, no masks, and the kids playing happily on swings that had a large PLAYGROUND CLOSED sign attached. Un..feckin’…believable. Did you give them a serve? I would have cut loose.

I did on Wednesday, to two young women (bogans) who strolled into Woolies, no QR Code check-in, snouts in the air as they approached and walked past the young Woolies employee trying to encourage people to check-in properly. She remained silent, and seemed intimidated.. I didn't and wasn't, just infuriated.
Baggers: "Hey, you two you forgot to check-in."
Heads turned. The two offenders gave me a dirty look and shook their heads, dismissively.
Baggers: "So you're better than all these people." Arm sweeps, indicating other shoppers, some who've stopped to watch the exchange. "When you fail to check-in and ignore lockdown rules you are actually saying to all these good folks, these team players, that you're better than them and don't give a stuff about them. How long have you two been better than everyone else here?" I've got a big voice.
They told me to 'get f*cked'.
Baggers: "Thank you. Later tonight, all going well." Such a smart @rse I am.
I was then surprised to hear others with comments of, "Yeah," "Exactly," and a few other words of agreement.
The pair turned, muttered expletives, and stormed out.
I hated doing it, but will do it again if needed.

I gave them a glare and shaped to take a photo with my phone. She gave a steely glare back, swept up the kids and took off. No words exchanged.
Reality always wins in the end.

Are we winning are we? 50 cases a day despite our tough lockdown.
Kennett far right? Serious?

I've done similar with blokes. Gender doesn't matter. If you're asking if I wouldn't do it to blokes for fear of getting the cr@p punched out of me... nuh. If that happened, so be it. What matters is speaking up.
