I am not bothered by your comments, so why would I complain. What is allowed on this site is not my business.

But, since you love lampooning and ridiculing other opinions, just about anything that disagrees with you, I have a right to respond.

I would like to think OLO is not Quadrant online which is dedicated to a certain view of the world. We should actually take heed of all opinions on this forum as most of us have something to say.

It is so tiresome to hear your comments about the ABC, police, Morrison govt, left wingers, global warming, greenies, and so on.

I mean let's see your manifesto about Australia should have responded to the coronavirus. Suggesting Australia's response to be some sort of anti-liberal democratic move is ridiculous given the seriousness of the situation.

By all means, let's hear your ideas about which activities are not a threat

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive”. (C.S. Lewis - the writer, not you-know-who).

King Scott has now said that restrictions would not be lifted until at least 40% of his subjects had the tracking app. Just as well it's not every subject, many of whom still don't own a mobile phone at all, let alone a smart phone needed to install the app. I've had one for less than 12 months, but its just a basic phone for a safeguard in my advanced years. What else could the app be used for post-virus? That's the trouble with technology. Unless you are techno-freak, you don't know what the bastards have on you. Our king didn't say how people without the app would fare; he is only interested in the arbitrary figure of 40% having it.

It remains to be seen how quick we get back to normal.

I would agree that some of social distancing is perhaps over the top, but I generally support the govt's strategy to be cautious for another month or so.

I am sure that all of the liberal democracies have faults with their responses.

Sweden remained open for business, with a much higher rate of death.

I would doubt that Australians would have supported such a strategy.

It remains to be seen how quick we get back to normal.
Chris Lewis,
what do you mean by getting back to normal ? Have we ever been there ? :-)

well, to how it was prior to the coronavirus. is that clearer?
