Spiked concerns: the Melbourne coronavirus lockdown : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 10/7/2020

Before journalists had time to file, or arm chair warriors time to muster their thoughts, the coronavirus beast had gotten away from an Australian state that had prided itself in reining in numbers and playing the game of suppression.

Thinkabit, if you look back a bit, you'll see where I proposed a total shutdown and locked and bolted abut 2 weeks, to kill the thing dead in its tracks and predicted that the USA would become the new epicentre. Even as others were saying it was just a new flu, I was saying it was a pandemic going somewhere to happen.

Our own complacency (it's just a new flu) was the reason it wasn't stopped far sooner! There was a comedy of errors and keystone cops/border control allowing cruise ships to disembark their entire passenger lists, untested! And spread throughout the entire continent Even as we understood, the entire Italian pandemic was started by a single Asymptomatic Chinese tourist!

And there is an alleged "ethenic cohort" that is willfully practising civil disobedience? And a Jubilant (we as right) right-wing press claiming conspiracy theories etc. And as such as conspiracies, done to harm the economy/the stock market/the indolent privileged rich?

But hey let's be fair! Without question, all of the above is down to Chairman, Danial Andrews? Talk about objectivity!

Alan B,
Isn't it just a matter of Nature cleaning out the gene pool itself because we're constantly failing?

Victoria seemed to be the role model in controlling the spread of the WuFlu until Scott Morrison insisted that it get out from under the doona, open its borders, get people back into the offices and factories, and open the schools.

I assume Daniel Andrews was trying to placate Scott Morrison when he complied and now look what's happened. Maybe Canberra can send Morrison down to Melbourne to try to shake a few hands and tell everyone things will be alright just like he did at Cobargo.

Mr Opinion,
How much longer would you have been able to go on without getting paid ?
I suppose you're on a public Service pay .

individual,

So you agree with me that it was Scott Morrison's insistence on removing Victoria's restrictions that has resulted in this second wave of the WuFlu pandemic in Victoria.

yep the sooner people wake up to the fact you can't stay in a padded cell all your life the better. How 'dumb' are the 'experts'. What, over a million deaths from hunger this year and about 20 from Coronavirus in Australia. Wake up, you have been duped.
