BLM protesters spread Covid to Aboriginal communities and wipes them out.

Irony much?

I could probably safely say that the national 102 coronavirus deaths could end up as 202 deaths in the next month, if safety measures have not taken place in aboriginal communities.

We have received notification that a person from Woorabinda (an alcohol free community in CQ) has been purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of alcohol to onsell to the community at marked up prices. The guy was caught by police through a tip-off. But, the fact remains that the man had not been isolated in Woorabinda, where the community were not allowed outsiders to come into town.

If a Black Lives Only Matter protester came back from Melbourne and went to live in Woorabinda (or any other aboriginal community), then it is quite possible to see a cluster of very sick people dying off by the dozens over the weeks. I can imagine tents being erected with medical staff having to deal with demanding patients and racists thinking that it is another genocide being perpetrated against their mob.

It seems as though tens of thousands of people can get together in the streets with some masks and nothing happens, it would be better to go masks than lock down in the next pandemic.

Memes have been appearing with calls for the reopening of concerts and festivals. However, they are to be renamed "protests" with live music, food and drinks.

How many?

Apparently 15 out of the 21 new cases.

The rest were linked to known clusters and through routine testing.
Give it time, it's still brewing to get going, only been less than 2 weeks since their big street party.

Remember, it can take up to 3-4 weeks whilst still being able to infect others in that meantime.

Well who gives a farque whether you do or not ....

the BLM protests should have been stomped on & stomped on hard.

All those who made sacrifices & worked on the frontlines have been treated with contempt by the morons who attended.

The BLM movement is based on a leftist lie & runs on a premise that is hugely contrary to the statistics.

And all the businesses & sporting associations supporting it & taking the knee for a criminal thug like George Floyd are just virtue signalling morons like the BLM protesters.

Seems the same cap fits you.

Police acting like a law unto themselves that ends with lives lost is not a lie, its why people are protesting.

Notwithstanding the fact police are murdering all races including unarmed women who called the police.

Clearly the police system particularly in the US is broken.

Trump will be holding big rallies and has pushed for Churches to open with crowds, memorial day free to open with crowds yet its only the BLM that gets the heavy criticism from the RW ...what does that tell you...democracy and freedom is one sided in their opinion and minds.. Roll Eyes

Really? Why is it called BLM then and not ALM?
Why are people being fired from their jobs for saying ALM?
Why are people attacked for saying ALM?

Exactly....it doesn't fit their warped narrative.

these sick/thick leftist arseholes go by one theory ... their way or the highway.

you have to understand that identity politics is a religion .

you cant use logic.

it will make NO IMPACT.

arguing that the radical left should accept "all lives matter"
is like arguing that hindus should eat cows, muslims and jews should eat pork and catholics should eat fish in lent.

you will just do your head in.

accept that they are a religion, not a political movement and move on.

they use the same terminology as fundam,entalist religion.

woke = born again
white priveledge = original sin
heretics must be burnt at the stake
mobs must hunt for blasphemers on the internet.

thats what "all lives matter "is

its BLASPHEMY

Here is a screen shot I took of latest news I had today.
And in news tonight, showing how our health minister is very nervous about the ones that were community transmissions.
Like I said, waiting for a time bomb?

It would be interesting to know how likely it is to catch a virus while moving around outdoors.

I would say that the vast majority of virus transmission happens indoors. That's why the peak flu season is winter

Why are you making excuses for this Barny? You've been on the right side of infection mitigation right up until the protests. Is being PC more important than infection control? I might have to go and look at some of Bojack's posts to see if he's done the same about face.

'......... the vast majority of virus transmission happens indoors ............ '

Yes, enclosed environments that trap virus and humans together.

eg, cruise ships, subway trains, buses, planes.

You are not implying that the BLM folks should not have travelled locked up together to attend these mass gatherings without social distancing are you Sprint? That's not very PC.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Would you? Have you not heard of all those that come down with the flu or Norovirus from attending Agricultural Shows?

The Brissy Ekka, Sydney Royal Show, Adelaide...etc nearly every state capital & most regional towns & cities have an Agricultural Show....

most are in the winter months & are havens for flu transmission & the dreaded vomiting & diarrhea(Norovirus).

Lucky they were all canned too.
