The “short” and “temporary” lockdown gets extended…again.

Maybe that's because they take the disease seriously. Tell us about your "freedoms" and 600,000 dead Americans from Covid again.

Yup, there aren’t many car related fatalities in a maximum security prison either.

But there are still more Covid deaths in the US than any other country in the world. But keep telling us how badly Australia is doing as it tries to save lives rather than expend them, as the US has.

Yes, like I said previously, you have more of a chance of dying of a car related accident as a free citizen than as a prisoner in a maximum security prison. This hardly makes the prisoner’s situation preferable.

However, I would much rather be a free man than a captive of an overbearing state (Australia).

Kind of at odds with also having had the most people vaccined isn't it?

NZ reporting 2 new infections today, and they're imposing small restrictions on a small area for a short time.

Have you already forgotten the 2 weeks to flatten the curve lies being told 16 months ago?

No end in sight of the covid lockdowns, mask mandates, vaccines.

What do you consider a short time?

As usual you can't help but lie.

The US hasn't vaccinated the most people,and doesn't have the highest % vaccinated either.

Still lying. No community transmission. No lockdown or restrictions in NZ. We are freer than you and have been so throughout the pandemic. And we will ensure so when vaccination has been completed. Only losers won't vaccinate.

So to summarize this entire thread and most of what is online now:

Some people see the virus is a global health emergency that warrants government lockdowns, vaccine passports, etc and some people think that the virus is not that serious and that the real global threat is tyranny.

Who is right? Does it matter? Who cares? We're all screwed no matter what. Just live life the way you want and if anyone gets in the way of that, punch them in the face! #endofthread #endofworld?

Add to the summary,anything Unkle says is pretty certain to be a lie.

A summary of ignorance.

Why so obsessed with us.

Go see a psychiatrist please.

Anyway, gotta go to the office now.

They don't understand what 'freedom' is, and the lack of freedom comes from right at the top of political spectrum.

You need millions of dollars to become leader of country, which by and large has limited republican leaders to powerful families, or a corrupt, racist, mysoginist property developer, and they have to stick with this for 4, sometimes 8 rigid years. They have no alternative so keep believing in this guy anyway. Freedom.

We don't like what's going on? If we don't like the lockdown, our polls will send shivers down our democratically elected parties and if they don't change the leader (happenned 7 times last decade alone), we will change the party. And we don't have to wait 4 yrs. No millions required.

We don't like gun deaths? No argument...get rid of it.

We don't have cops shooting people for trivial offences, we don't have politicians getting away with insurrection, collusion with Russians etc...Freedommmm!!

We happen to prefer the measures, the lockdown focussed on certain local areas and business types, rather than the delta strain, until the vaccine , hogged by irresponsible countries, has been rolled out.

Thanks for your concern, but we are free to live. Our booming economy shows that we are doing it better than you, so why not start a thread about our economy and record low unemployment.

Gotta love this city...

cheers

Current lockdown sucks. Gyms are closed so there is huge increase in people running (or trying to). I also had renovations booked for the back end of this month which has been cancelled because trades people are not allowed to earn an income for a couple of weeks.

All because the government is trying to drive up the vax rate which is great especially when the UK is reporting that 47% of new covid cases are vaccinated people. Thankfully though there have been zero flu deaths this year which is amazing. Like the flu has literally over, defeated. Should be bigger news! Virus defeated! Alas all anyone cares about is what the latest case numbers or that a 90 year old in a nursing home died of covid (and probably pneumonia and a bunch of other unreported things).

Article from a few hours ago. There’s a short video at the end of you don’t want to read the article (although that’s short as well).

Long story short- Half of Australians will be in lockdown for at least the next week (probably longer).

Clearly, you think it better people should die from the virus than they should combat its spread. You are a very unwell person - and I don't mean that you have Covid.

At this rate Australia will have to bow out of hosting the 2032 olympics because they are “combating” (put half their population under house arrest) so effectively.

I guess that makes 600,000 deaths from Covid ok then. If it's ok then why are you guys fussed about what Australia is doing?

Enuff with that incredibly inflated number. Median age over 80, 94% with two or more deadly other health issues, 40% in nursing homes where the median life expectancy is five months. The vast majority of "Covid deaths' were of people who would have been dead by now if Covid never came along.

Oh, yeah - the old "they were going to die anyway" argument.

No you damned fool. These people died from other causes.

Still obsessed? And referencing a foreign media report? The best you can do.

You have 'Australia' issues, I'm sure you were deported for smoking pot or something...come clean.

It sucks, because, as a runner (I assume) you cannot go to gym to infect or get infected...what do you prefer, widespread Delta?

How important is your reno?

The building sites have been paused for two weeks to get their sh*t in order, get Covid protocols to stop the spread that tradespeople are taking from site to site.

Doesn't bother me, I am doing a major renovation, and doing it myself, hope they don';t require me at work so I can get more progress on renovation

Try it, not that hard...hold the hammer at the long end, its a handle.
