It's just the media, in which business writers are the worst; if they knew anything about business they would be engaged in it, not scribbling about it.

Three million unemployed is believable, given that we have had three quarters of a million out of work for years, while the morons still indulge in mass immigration.

It's a pity that Malcolm still thinks that his hatred and contempt for SA is of interest to anyone but himself. He's right about the submarines, though.

Speaking of business, there is a rumour that Qantas is renaming Business Class as Public Service Class in recognition of the only people flying. There will also be a Commissars' Lounge.

Finally, someone with enough testicular fortitude to say how it really is and the very real prospects for our immediate future! As those with the power and privilege seek to shore up those privileges and positions to the exclusion of all else, including a turbocharged economic recovery!

Scomo to give him his due is now steering the ship of state in a positive direction. But will soon find those on the hard right, challenging, the necessary restrictions, but particularly, continued social distancing, which will need to be observed until we have an effective real remedy that kills the virus stone cold dead! As the robber barons, i.e., their political masters, see their, "legally" purloined
pecuniary positions plummeting?

We may find a vaccine that gives some protection via the increased production of the bodies T cells? But this virus may mutate to hide within the host or even inside the immune system? Similar to the viral disease HIV/aids. which does just that!

Some practitioners seem to believe, covid-19 may replicate that or that any protection from acquired immunity via infection or vaccination, ma last 6-7 months?

Others that all cancer starts with an undiscovered viral infection?

Given that may be true, perhaps something quite radical could be attempted to kill the virus stone-cold dead, without any permanent or significant harm to the patient?

By attaching a few micrograms o the alpha particle, bismuth 213 to a virus antibody and allow it to seek and destroy the virus wherever it is hiding, as if it were a cancer?

In any event, not an untried therapy in conventional western medician and has been successfully trialled in many parts of the world in many clinical practices.

Just not here, due to the insane prohibition on nuclear power, on entirely idiotic ideological grounds to protect the interest of mostly foreign robber baron, investors! Investors, in that case, being an oxymoron if ever there was one? TBC.

Information just keeps coming! We are now advised that retail is booming, with a massive surge in profits thanks to panic buyers. Shop are loving it and they don't give a stuff whether or not they have what you want just buy, buy, buy. They'll keep up the mantra about Australia growing enough food for 75 million people, even though there's not much of it on their shelves.

tbbn, Two nice short sharp posts, Public Service Class.... yeah, that would be easier to get the bluffocrats bosses, signature on the travel request... and if they made it comrade class, the same bluffocrats would probably give their comrades a special additional allowance for " flying the red flag" of courage for being labelled "public service comrades".

Re the article, the author is spot on. The stupidity of NSW Education (led by the former failed Head of ABC, Mark Scott) and its one day a week only for this 2nd term....words escape me for this incompetence, which is only matched by Premier Gladys Berijiklean's support of Health Minister Brad "hazard top shipping" Hazard! and Dr Kerry Chant ( NSW Chief Medical Officer) who are responsible directly for 1/5th the cases and 1/4 the deaths due to their incompetent risk assessment process (see Fridays article by Essery https://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=20863).

NSW is still the Rumpcorps state, and the authors comments are even more relevant in NSW.

As for the media, "their ABC" carries on its rebellion against the government, spruiking wherever they can the concerns over the "Covid Tracking App".

Now there are 1.3 million signed up, so destroy "their ABC" day and sign up, if you haven't already!

Cont: On the recovery, if we are "ALLOWED" to have an entirely unfettered one!? The interests of the robber baron class cannot be ALLOWED TO F.I.U.!

They will if given a chance or their head as their, I'm all right Jack, the rest of you can go visit the nearest taxidermist, position is put under threat or removed altogether to prevent it precluding our very best economic recovery.

Represented a cadre of tax-avoiding, price gouging, profit repatriating foreigners and foreign or interstate investors, commission earning entities who talk up investment opportunities, particularly in real estate!?

If the recovery doesn't include liting the current OFFICAL boycott on nuclear power!? It'll be a half-assed recovery of eternally enduring, eternally expanding, exponential endemic, generational, postcode poverty!

Our best possible recovery lies in adopting tried and trusted paradigms that worked and spectacularly some initially, like that which took a basket case economy in Ireland and turned it into the Celtic co-op and family business based, niche market/cottage industry-based, economic miracle.

Killed by fiscally incompetent politicians who allowed debt-laden foreign investors into the real estate market, then proceeded to throw billions of finite taxpayer dollars trying to prop up banks and other robber barons who as always, seek to socialise their loses and privatise our profits!

Cooperative capitalism is our best bet for an economic recovery and to set us up as the superpower energy exporter we could be if we can just chart our own course, not that of the robber barons of renewables or their spit-lickle lackeys! Or their opponents in the fossil fuel industry!

Allowing special vested interest, to have a seat at the table? A recipe for turning a possibly turbocharged economy into a shambolic Grandaddy of a Great Depression, from which we'll never ever recover?

As we emulate Tibet and the northwest as a way out, to become the poor white trash, southern state, of a rapacious resource plundering expansionist Chi-nia?

And in very real prospect if we are further sold down the river of no return, by a conflicted, self-serving, quisling, political class!? A Darwin port anyone?
