Next thing you'll be telling us the storage issue for intermittent energy sources is licked. Aidan, I nominate you for King of Lalaland.

Would the brains-trust here please explain this, achieved without lockdown or locking up of people from their lives and aspirations http://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-per-million-7-day-average?country=~SWE

Would you also please explain why my friend gave up his job and house lease and bought an air ticket to take up a position in Germany starting September 1 and has been denied an 'exemption' to travel there to take up the job and resume a relationship with his German sweetheart he met here? You morons and your hysteria are running the show and you are stomping on lives with your fear and hysteria.

Why, why, oh ffs why, can somebody not live their dreams and leave Oz just because they may reappear, one day, for self-funded quarantine? http://www.watoday.com.au/lifestyle/life-and-relationships/on-par-with-north-korea-three-out-of-four-requests-to-leave-australia-refused-20200814-p55luj.html

I am absolutely disgusted with my countrymen responsible, through rabid fear and panic, for this absolute nightmare. You are sick, stupid, and dragging the rest of us down the plug-hole with you.

Luciferase, I've not seen Lalaland yet, and nor have I been to LA. But I do know that those too lazy or stupid to comprehend the truth have a history of ridiculing and belittling those who do. George Stephenson was famously described as "a maniac fit for Bedlam" when he claimed trains would do 20mph!
