*…it was the people who for what ever reason could not comply with simple infection control measures, because their non compliance extended the periods of lock down that was being used to contain the spread of this virus…*

Who they are by the evidence at the time, were the poorer classes from the Western Suburbs of Sydney as major example.

While the “wealthy and worthy” group from the Eastern suburbs, partied on Bondi beach, the wretched, diseased and abandoned workers from them West, were treated to an authoritarian dystopian night mare of Police heavy handedness, which resulted in outrages such as forced entries into homes, ignoring protests of the residents as standard procedure.

Police road blocks separating adjoining suburbs, enforced with rudeness and heavy fines.

Evictions of people unable to pay rents, and treated without mercy, thrown onto the street to live in tents, as standard procedure.

Meanwhile the wealthy took their money and jobs into regional areas, creating a huge escalation in real estate values and a corresponding affordable housing crisis for the poorer classes. Then the floods. Evidence of climate change say the same wealthy as they vote in the Greens and Labor, as a hedge against their pathetic life styles of exclusion.

No doubt this will result in more pain as additional pressure on the poor, with already unaffordable power bills, added to by the dismantling of affordable coal generation.

The wealthy will hedge themselves against the pain with taxpayer subsidies on banks of solar panels, feeding excess power back into a grid to be resold at a huge mark-up, to the unworthy, unclean and diseased renter classes, unable to participate in the exclusionary scam for votes. What is the value of a vote?

As we’ve seen with The Gillard era, an attack on unworthy vehicles of the poor will soon appear. Unclean vehicles driven by the unclean: How justified!

Meanwhile, the party rages in the East, where obviously this whining author stakes his self assured future. Oh how the gap widens!

In another month or so, the next flu season will shake society even more than the last one.
The only difference then will be more people dying because the money & will to help have run out !
I hope the anti-vaxxers will feel good about that !

They don't want us to get back to normal. They loved the power of Covid. Now that that has lost some of its fear, they are kicking off with 'the worst 'flu ever'; get everyone over 6 months old vaccinated!

Australians, weakened and cowered by the totalitarianism of the Covid period, are now suckers for any fear campaign, punched out daily by the media, on behalf of shadowy, unelected bureaucrats and Big Pharma's insatiable appetite for money.

The thing that spreads "like wildfire" is fear: the fear of a servile, dependent public. Fear is the key to control.

That our dictators, elected and non-elected, saved 40,000 lives with their fear-mongering and crushing of freedoms is absolute BS.

Absolute BS is what the political class runs on these days, and most of us are too stupid to reconise it

Normal? The only path to normal lies in eradicating covid! And do able if we deploy both vaccines and antivirals the best of the latter destroying 99.99% of conavirus Supplemented with a vaccinated passport.

And those without one denied access to any public facility, drivers licence, trade certificate, diploma or degree. And even quarantined on an offshore Island.

This virus does mutate and like the spanish flu can mutate to a far more virulent and contagious variant.

Now, I couldn't give a rats if that then wipes out 99.99% of the unvaccinated.

What I won't forgive, is those innocent lives they take with them as the super spreaders they will be.

Moreover, the new and more deadly variants are developed solely in the unvaccinated. And makes them no better than a demented killer going bananas with an assault rifle. Only more so given the potenial fatalities could be in the millions. As we saw from the spanish flu or covid, the latter taking more live than two world wars.

Without eradicating this virus with compulsory health orders, one day a new and vastly more deadly variant will like the spanish flu, start killing our kids and healthy young adults. When that day comes our hospitals and health systems will collapse and go into meltdown!

While homo sapiens was very fortunate to have, somehow, evolved on this planet it is still, and always was, a hostile place.
Live with it and enjoy and stop whinging.

Hey ttbn,

"That our dictators, elected and non-elected, saved 40,000 lives with their fear-mongering and crushing of freedoms is absolute BS."

They got thousands of people killed by failing to quarantine the nation from a foreign contagion, that's how I see it.
