CV and mad panic behaviour

[shawny]

What distraction are you gonna use today Andrews?  Crying out for some decent management and politicians are totally incapable of providing it. 

Yep 100% agree. He has one go to solution for any situation that this pandemic throws up.

I'd say the attack of the Nazi man-babies is a pretty good distraction!

It's amusing to imagine the idealogical gymnastics conservatives are doing right now:

It's an outrage: no one should ever disrespect the Shrine of Remembrance as these guys are doing! But they're right-wingers like me ... What would I think if the BLM protesters had done this? Shhhh ... they're not BLM protesters, they're our guys. It's okay to disrespect the Shrine of Remembrance as long as they're doing it to protect our FREEDOM!

At least the right-wingers have had some practice at doing these mental somersaults. They would have looked on as the right-wingers slammed the BLM protesters for disrespecting the police and then marched under the Blue Lives Matter banners. But when the Trumpistas staged an insurrection, carrying their Blue Lives Matter signs into the Capitol Building, they used those very banners to beat the police. Just as in Orwell's Animal Farm, the right-wingers no doubt daubed an exception under the Blue Lives Matter slogan: "unless you stand in our way".

So, one of the rioters has been admitted to hospital with COVID.  Poetic justice perhaps but could it signal a super-spreader event.

Was bound to happen but case numbers were escalating north (700 plus cases a day), up for weeks all while the state remains in full lockdown, 9PM curfews, 5Km BS.  Protester make a bad situation worse - but eitherway we were not winning.

First strain our leader cost us 800 lives that could have been avoided and the Delta strain 'I cant recall' took the title of most locked up place on EARTH. The bloke doesn't do things by halves i have to give him that.

Highly unlikely. Only a few thousand people spread out walking around the city all day. HIs close contacts will most likely get it.

First person I know has tested positive to covid, got it from work.

Of course it was only a matter of time until the “protests” would become superspreader events. The real question is whether the organisers would be happy with that outcome.

... 11 more deaths in NSW.  Shudder to think of the tragic social impacts on families.

Unmasked "protesters" shoulder-to-shoulder at the Shrine yelling and forming rugby scrums, what could go wrong with that? Remember, the NSW removalists managed to infect people in the flat in Maribyrnong who then went to the MCG & infected 2 people who weren't sitting close to them. Just being outside isn't enough to avoid infection. You need to observe some precautions such as masking and maintaining social distance and these louts weren't doing that.

It will become far worse next month if the local trend follows the global trend, the 12 to 14 week mark is when the long term cases seem to give up the fight.

Not so sure about that; the bloke from Barwon Heads was able to infect folk at the G.  There's also a confirmed case of transmission between two children walking together.  The nurses who were spat on will be concerned ... and justifiably furious.

A friend's grandson has just tested positive.  He got it at chldcare.  Fortunately, he doesn't seem all that unwell and his parents and grandmother are fully vaccinated.
