Just read about all the cruise ships parked off countries and staff can't leave and some on no pay.
121 days and counting for many......... Mental health is a serious issue no doubt, feel really bad for them. |

It was a most unfortunate time to have school holidays...
OK impromptu quiz: a) cases start to slow from here b) more suburb lockdowns but not many c) total lockdown of state in just over a week

Surely most people would have realised by now that this whole plandemic was a scam.
Since covid 19 started we have had 4.2 million cancer deaths, over 850,000 HIV deaths, 2.5 million smoking death, yet we still sell cigarette at every street corner. Hell we conducted just under 22 million abortions of human babies.

Numbers don't lie, unlike politicians.
You can look the facts up yourself or you can just believe the propaganda.

I wouldn't say it's a scam, but it has the potential to get a lot worse than it currently is if we just let it run freely throughout society. Australia is doing pretty well overall, the media is over hyping it here. Seeing other types of deaths give you a bit of a comparison and shows it's not the worst thing in the world right now. For a bit of perspective as a whole there have been 29,956,798 deaths so far in 2020. Quote:

Then again, it's easy to be critical when you are comfortable in a country that was barely affected. Go live in Spain or Italy or even the UK or New York...

Tassie a bit (lot) smarter. The leader is a complete joke. Not Trump level but best example of current Aust Premiers. Gutwein been fantastic as I would expect of a Tasmanian. But who knows as per NZ so let's see - you may be right. Quote this if I'm wrong in future. Last edited by MercuryT; 04-07-2020 at 11:45 PM. |

Could be that our low socioeconomic groups work in industries not sympathetic to COVID-19, I know I work in one, there's pressure from employers disincentivising testing. If they're casuals then there's another huge barrier, you'll lose a few days income and also not have protections from losing employment if your employer takes a dim view on you getting tested and decides to cut your shifts. I reckon next Friday we'll have under 50 new cases in VIC Looking at history the Spanish Flu pandemic ran from 1918-1919 when it ended, I'm expecting a similar timeline for COVID-19. By the end of 2021 it'll be back to business as usual, international flights and tourism, no restrictions what so ever, the media will be focusing on President Trump's next Twitter controversy and everyone would have forgotten about COVID-19.

I wish someone would tell me what the scam is as you hear this all the time, a scam that governments around the want to destroy there own economies - that's pretty dumb isn't it ? Who is benefiting from this scam ? I can't see anyway to control this other then locking everything down and you can't do that for very long. So either there's a vaccine that's going to fix this or in the end everyone will get it, just like every other virus that spreads like this one It does prove its better to be lucky than smart - we are lucky here in Australia but it's looking like our luck is going to run out as restrictions are lifted which was inevitable anyway. It is clear that the Australian government is expecting to eradicate this because we seem to get surprised when 100 people are newly infected - and you could probably times that by a factor of 10 probably more Which doesn't really match what they thought would happen to being with - we should have people dieing in streets and all the hospitals full and all the field hospitals that where put up full too, so again lucky Yes people die every day from other things but what does that prove ? - this virus seems to have a high death rated compared to some others doesn't it ? |

It's easy to become complacent because it's not in your face, people just disappear behind closed doors. Imagine if there were people walking around the streets covered in leaking boils and flesh sloughing off in big chunks. Not many people attending the BLM marches then. |

Nz had to lock down entire country with most of population abiding by the rules. Personally i think we have painted our selves into a corner, its good to be Covid free but not sure where we go from here, at least our old people are safe they were pretty much the only ones getting nailed by this here.

I think the Spanish Flu ended because it simply ran out of customers, the people either died or learned to run like raped apes at the slightest hint of plague.
(Fear imposed social distancing) Where to from here? Get to zero and keep the borders locked for as long as it takes so life can go back to normal. Any reason we can't do that? |

I think you are living in dreamland if you don't think it can harm Tassie it only takes one stupid person returning to the island to spread. At the rate I've seen the exodus of Tassie caravannerrs coming out of Melbourne, we will see what happens when they need to return. Qld would be better off not letting any southern states enter.

107 new cases for Australia (mostly in Victoria) and no deaths so CMR drops to 1.244% and active cases rise to 903 (10.8%).
No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.438% and active cases remain at 18. The UK recorded 624 new cases and 67 deaths yesterday so the CMR drops to 15.514%. Just under 55k new cases in the USA yesterday and 579 deaths sees CMR down to 4.569% and active cases down to 52.7% but the raw numbers are rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Oceania passes 10k cases; Kenya (389), Algeria (430), Palestine (501), Dominican Republic (1,036), Israel (1,115), Kazakhstan (1,644), South Africa (10,853) and India (24,015) recorded new daily highs, those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.
