There's simply no end to selfishness !

What a soft-centre jelly, self-centred whimp of the first water! 6 out of 7 carriers have few if any symptoms? Yet around the globe over 15,000,000 infected and over 1,000,000 dead prematurely. Millions others premanently damaged with shortened lives.

One can be, Asmptomatic, but with few if any symptoms! But can be extremely infectious, super spreaders. As identified by Joe, so well!

When you've lived alone for over 20 years and crippled, yet doing mostly everything for yourself by yourself, get back to me and have a bit of a whinge!

[Mummy, they made me, sob gasp, stay in a, sob gasp, hotel room for a whole, sob gasp, fortnight by myself and, sob gasp, entirely alone! They didn't even give me a menu but delivered the chef's choice to my door. Whine whimper. And no wine list. How primitive!]

Until then, man up, show that you are more than just a (sob, Mummy, where's Teddy) spoilt jelly blob, with zero empathy!

Hi Alan,

My siblings all live in NZ, and I'm certainly planning to visit at the first opportunity, from Kaitaia (where my dad is buried in a Dalmatian cemetery) down to Dunedin and a couple of places in between. I take for granted that I might have to do a fortnight in quarantine, at my own expense. Fair enough. I don't have any special right to infect anybody in NZ.

And maybe another fortnight in quarantine when I get back. Okay, if it keeps everybody else safe. It might be a long trip.

Cheers,

Joe

You seem to be in the minority, J Bond. Aussies overseas are clamoring to come home and happy to do the quarantine if that's what it takes. Refugees and homeless folk around the globe would give their eye teeth for a cozy hotel room to avoid the virus. Australians overwhelmingly support our border closures, both state and national and we are giving thanks that we have our big moat.

We as a nation listened to the 'experts' get every climate prediction wrong for the last 50 years and still destroyed our cheap electricity. Now we listened to the health bureaucrats who also got every prediction wrong while scaring the life out of people. Some are still dumb enough to think harsh lockdowns have saved lives. One day they might think and see that places like New York and Victoria has the harshest lockdowns with the most deaths in those countries. The 'experts' tell us that a baby born with a penis is not a male. You need to spend 10 years studying to work that out. One day gutless politicians will stop hiding behind 'experts' and do what is right for the people. Somehow I think it might be to late as Morrison is finding out.

Runner,

Thanks to lock-downs, Australia and NZ between them have had half as many Covid deaths as Alabama. There are still around a thousand deaths each day in the US. They haven't really got out of their first wave yet in most US states.

Only 49 days to go ! But I pity Joe Biden having to pick up all of the pieces of Trumpf's broken America in January.

Joe
