mhaze,

It looks like I touched a chord with you.

Of course I care about people's lives, their jobs,
and much, much, more.

However, I firmly believe that the Australian Government
has done the right thing. As for Sweden? Who are we to
judge - right? The same goes for the US - right?

All I can say is - I'm glad I live in Australia.

You're welcome to disagree of course - but please refrain
from making assumptions about me.
I shall try to do the same for you.

You silly lot are still panicking over this virus, one of many that assail us. We have had Corona virus here in Aus since before the aboriginal people arrived. Google Vic Rail the horse trainer.
I still blame our politicians, State more than Federal, for the upset caused to you bed wetters.
Major disruption and thousands more lives lost when all the virus has done has taken an odd year or two off old sick people. I personally am looking forward to when the revenge starts to be enacted for all the misery that will be rained on our heads by the stupidity of politicians and our failure to stop them.

Dear mhaze,

You said to Foxy; “Sweden suffered none of that because they treated their citizens like adults.”

Absolute and utter bollocks.

Sweden closed down their highschools and universities.

Many of their large industries shut down unlike Australia.

Their domestic spending fell markedly more than ours but if their death rate was translated to here it would amount to nearly 13,000 deaths and growing.

Death rates of infected people are falling in developed countries as better treatments are coming on line. In even the worst case scenario of universal infection Sweden could have brought more time and saved lives.

SR, here we go again.
You must have caught Foxy's problem.
You quote things, only to have them debunked soon after.
You quote facts and figures but forget to mention that they are not from the same reference column.
The attached link explains my point, in reference to the stats.
The early stats are from one group but the latter are from another.
So all it means is it confirms my point of twisting the facts to highlight a pre-conceived agenda.

Forget the title, look at the text.

ALTRAV Il Duce, welcome back, there were reports that you were seen hanging upside down in the village square at Giulino di Mezzegra in Italy. Like reports of Elvis being seen just last week working at the 'Burger King' store in Dapto NSW, probably not true.

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog

Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine.

Oh yea you are, you cuddly like Munchkin! Welcome back.

Errrrr,........ OK?.......... I think? Wait! What?
