Dear Foxy,

«And as for our mentality being
different - that suggestion is probably correct. We are
more advanced in many ways. (smile).»

Well it was not me who made that suggestion.
Rather, my suggestion was, that it is the insensitive cruelty of Victorian leaders, who punish first instead of asking nicely and humbly for cooperation, which can make Victorians as well as any other sensible person in that situation, more recalcitrant. I recall making this observation not just now but also when Victoria had the toughest water restrictions in the country.

As for being "more advanced", perhaps you equate "advanced" with "progressive"? That being the case, woe unto all of us as I hate to think what this portends.

Dear Yuyutsu,

You really need to stop taking things literally.
Recognise it when it's being done tongue-in-cheek.
Lighten up.

Oh no another couple of 90 year olds died! Well I strongly suspect that both people were not just old but had attendant medical problems , in fact were dying anyway.
I say this because since this first landed this has been an exercise in destroying Western civilisations by destroying western economies.
Morrison and Andrews are two fools cut from the same shabby cloth. They are aping other stupid governments in destroying all the jobs and industry they can. Wait till the realisation hits them that in fact the death toll is less than the last two Flu pandemics when none of this nonsense was even thought of. Then that government money comes from the people who they have personally destroyed. Another juicy moment when CMO's are told we cannot afford them in fact the whole public service is a luxury we have to reduce. Politicians will try and be the last to have their benefits cut but here is hoping a new honest player comes on the scene.
Until then put on your masks, march in lockstep to the useless, corrupt and mealy mothed crook politicos and their equally corrupt medical lickspittles!

Hello FOXY...

Just make sure you take good care of yourself, please Okay?

Dear O Sung Wu,

You always seem to know when I need cheering up.

Thank You and God Bless.

NO AVAILABLE BEDS IN 50 FLORIDA HOSPITAL ICU UNITS

Florida's lack of lockdown "response" to the COVID threat may be Australia's grim future if COVID cases escalate in Australia.

In Florida COVID cases are filling ICU beds - leaving no available beds for the usual diseases and accident caseloads.

Voice of America News, 20th July 2020 reports http://www.voanews.com/covid-19-pandemic/no-available-beds-50-florida-hospital-icu-units

"The coronavirus outbreak in Florida grew more dire [on 19th July 2020] as nearly 50 hospitals throughout the state say they have no available beds in their intensive care units [ICUs].

[Florida] is not only the COVID epicenter in the United States, it is one of the world’s hot spots, with more than 12,000 new cases reported Sunday – the fifth straight day that number exceeded 10,000.

[Only now is] Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is making mask wearing in public mandatory.

Starting Monday, anyone without a face covering gets an immediate $50 fine. A third offense brings a $500 fine."

Florida's past lack of COVID measures, in favour of "opening up the economy as usual"

seem to be the future some COVID-Libertarians suggest for Australia.
