But how many would have died if we wouldn't have had those lockdowns.

ScoMo says at least 30,000.

I would say over 100,000.

not bored at all.

i'm still trying to help people live a worthwhile life.

heres an experiment for you skippy.

go and sit on a chair in your bathroom by yourself.

just sit there.

you will find that anxiety starts to well up very quickly.

you will feel anxious and stressed the longer you are there.

anxiety , fear, stress....these are the default emotions and they are very painful.

how does society cope when thats the default.

it copes by having leaders and , yes, heads of households, doctors, heads of business who can present a courageous message that things will be ok.

if they fail in this duty.

if the pollies, or chief health officers, or dads and mums or journalists "catastrophise", they do a lot of damage to the mental health of people they are responsible for , especially kids.


i will not stand around and watch weaklings and cowards inflict their weakness and cowardice onto the emotional state of kids.

it is disgusting.

school refusal, seperation anxiety, self harm overdose, eating disorders are up 200 to 300 % in schoolkids and that is on YOU and people like YOU who wont present a calm sober message that this is a virus a bit worse then the flu and as a society we are more then capable of dealing with it and it is far far far from speices ending.

now, go away to where you have been for the last month or two (hiding under your bed) and let the kids see examples of confident brave courageous leadership , not bed wetting cowardice

Ah, but 908 of those deaths were last year, Sir Spot.

All aqua now seems to be concerned about are the 2 deaths so far this year. And besides, most of the 908 from last year were the 'oldies' who needed to make the 'ultimate sacrifice' so the younger ones can 'flourish' (as aqua has been so fond of telling us over and over and over).

Good point. We need fearless leaders who are prepared to send their vaccines off to the noble Gurkhas.

The courageous individual asks for saline solution instead.

I'm sorry that this is your experience in life, but it's not the default.  You're projecting your own insecurities and likely undiagnosed mental health issues onto the rest of us. 

I don't blame you.  I often judge others based on what I would do which is why I'm so often let down by people.  What's normal for me, things like taking an evidence-based approach to my opinions and looking for dissenting views and opinions to challenge my own, I shouldn't project that onto others.  It may be my normal, my default, but it's not for everyone.

Like you.

You seem time and time again to ignore the things that don't support your views.

The simple truth is, our death count is low because of the actions we've taken.  You complain that the actions we've taken are unnecessary because the death count is low.

The truth is, that's simply proof our actions are working.  But you don't like those actions so you want to paint it as something else.

When you're in lockdown, you're anxious, you're scared and life is unpleasant.  I sympathise, but that just points to the issues you have at home.  Rather than wanting the virus to spread before we can all be vaccinated, more people to face lifelong health issues or even die, just get help you selfish bastard.

Lockdowns, check-ins, social distancing etc, they're all a challenge on a personal level, let alone economic.  But man up, stop being a bitch and deal with your own problems, don't advocate for others face greater problems so you can run from yours.

Problems don't make you weak, we all have them.  Being a coward and running from them or lying about them, that mixed with the toxic ideas of masculinity you hold makes you one of the worst types of people out there, weak and pathetic.

I'm not trying to shame you for having problems, but your method of dealing with them, or in that case running from them, you should be ashamed.

But I dare say you also hold a stunning lack of empathy for your fellow man despite your lipservice to the idea.

If you actually cared about other people and their experience during lockdowns you'd be advocating for us all to do the right thing so we can get through this quicker.

But you're not you big baby.

The best reality tv show I've seen in years .... "Covid Spreads It's Wings" .... great viewing! It's about blame shifting from the organizers to the peeps, and the organizers are pleading innocence on the grounds that they can display a higher degree of frustration than anyone else ... "Please do the right thing, PLEASE"

Doing the right thing would be reprimanding and voting out all the organizers who pretend they themselves weren't to blame and who should have stopped Covid spreading it's wings from international flight crews

Real estate is being snapped up west of the Blue Mountains, seems a lot of big city folk are following my lead and waking up to the self interested organizers

It's a great show, tops the entertainment list
