Yes Bobby

Schools open and closed and open and closed
Means parents can't get to work
Millions of dollars spent giving schools deep cleans
Meaningless and futile

Daniel has one job and one job alone
Ensure that nobody with the virus dribbling out of their nose
Or a productive cough
Gets within 100 yards of a nursing home
Because that's where all the deaths will be

I don't think I can recall a school child in Europe or America featuring as a covid statistic
Or if it does happen it is incredibly rare

3 children died in a week from viral influenza in 2018
So this is without a doubt less of a threat two young people than influenza

Do we have schools on rolling shutdowns and deep cleanse for viral influenza
Of course not

Forget about The Young and the healthy
Let them get on with running an economy so we have some food and resources to provide to the elderly

In all seriousness when Greece went into deep recession
First thing that was cut
Was chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the elderly

So all this talk about our concern for the health of our elderly citizens
They rely on the economy to provide the funding for such expensive healthcare
The elderly should be urging young people
To stay the hell away from them
And to get their asses back to work

You know I was looking online
And I posted the hospital workers
Shouldn't be catching public transport

Jesus you should have seen their response

We are essential workers and there is no parking
How dare you criticize our Noble healthcare workers
You try and find a park near our Hospital

It wasn't a criticism
It was an observation that inevitably healthcare workers will catch this
Either at work and then transmitted to the entire bus and train
Or they will catch it on the bus and train
And transmitted to the whole Hospital

When even so-called health professionals appear unable to use their brain
What hope have you got with Joe six pack

Look at the Queensland border
Freight still gets through unchallenged

Joe blow from Star track express in Melbourne
Who is an asymptomatic carrier
Gets waved through across the border
Stops at the servo in Griffith
Calls iin for a meat pie at Goulburn
Has a counter meal at a pub at Parramatta
Another fuel stop at Dubbo
Crosses the border and has somewhere in Brisbane
Spend the night at a motel
Then heads on back to Melbourne
Spreading the virus everywhere he goes without even knowing it

And our ridiculous politicians think they are going to stop this virus
By having the army form checkpoints
Around suburbs
Do they have a functional brain

I would not be in the least bit surprised if that were true.

I said a few months back that the world had already lost the battle with COVID-19 on the day the first infected person boarded a plane and left China.

We in Australia lost our battle the day the first infected person arrived in Australia which, according to this, was January 25th when an infected man returned to Victoria from Wuhan, China.

Too late, of course. Someone said recently that Australia does end up doing the right things to try and stop this virus but usually 2 weeks too late.

And, although the blame for the current situation in Victoria can be put on those slack "security guards", the ultimate blame should be placed on the Federal government for allowing 350,000+ citizens and permanent residents to return here after the borders were supposed to have been closed months ago.

And, Victoria is to blame for the slowly increasing number of infections in New South Wales by allowing 50,000+ Victorians to flee to NSW and even Queensland by giving 36 hours notice of the Melbourne/Mitchell Shire lockdown 3 weeks ago.

Something was finally done to stem the tide of all these "returning travellers" from overseas (reduced numbers allowed in, pay for their own quarantine, etc.). Even the airlines have (not deliberately, I'm sure) slowed the arrivals by wanting everyone to pay for business class fares.

Again, too little and too late.

I also wouldn't be surprised if our supposedly "COVID-19 free" Western Australia has had quite a few undetected cases over the past few months and probably has some undetected ones right now.

Oh, on the subject of WA, Clive Palmer's Federal Court case to get WA's border reopened starts today. I will be very surprised if he succeeds.

If Clive does succeed, I would strongly recommend he stay away from WA because I'm sure there's a good chance he may get beaten up himself.

Nobody is talking about stopping it.

It's about slowing the spread.

You and aquascoot are the only two idiots using the word 'stop'.

Bullshit.

We're winning it in WA.

The virus has slowed right down.

It's slowing down in many countries.

It's not a useless battle at all, and it's working quite well in many places.

Yes.

Imagine how high that number would be if we hadn't successfully fought to slow it down.

Just look at America for the answer.

That's all they were ever trying to do, and it has worked very well (in most states).

The battle has not been a waste of time - it's been very successful.
