With the disaster created by the incomperdence of the Morrison Government with vaccine roll-out and quarantine, coupled with the shambolic response of the Berejiklian Government in NSW to Delta which has resulted in more than one hundred deaths and thousands of infections, it should be renamed the Gladys Virus. These pair of failures in particular, along with a chorus of conservative politicians bang on about "The National Plan", and how its going to deliver us turkeys for Christmas. Why wouldn't they bang on about the future given their present abject failures.

The two Premiers who are riding on the crest of success with virus control so far, Queensland's Annastacia Palaszczuk and WA's Mark McGowan are more circumspect and concerned about "The National Plan" since no one really knows what it is, or where it will lead us. Minister Roberts on 'Insiders' yesterday provided no clarity as to what the plan entailed. When told the Doherty Institute had said nothing about national borders opening up, Roberts said it went without saying. Roberts also said we all should follow "The National Plan" although it was still being worked on, and could change by the day, sounds like the plan you have when you don't have a plan. Naturally Palaszczuk and McGowan don't want to risk the health of their people based of hairy fairy nonsense put foreword by a pack of conservative political losers.

Well, whenever the word "nation" or its grammatical derivatives is mentioned, one can tell that the actual people of the land are going to be hurt!

I think its a 4 Phase Death plan.

Stage 1.
Get everyone vaccinated, including the kids
Some people including children will die just from the vaccine;
- And who were never even exposed to Covid or Delta to begin with;
Also many will suffer many different adverse reactions.

Stage 2.
Remove Restrictions and Open up Borders (causing more people to die from further spread of Delta)
Also set-up vaccine passports to punish people who don't vaccinate.

Stage 3.
Where the vaccine doesn't actually stop the virus spread at all
So more people, many asymptomatic or with less severe symptoms spread the virus worse than before unrestricted;
- And there will be an explosion of cases (and many more people die)
And we also roll out booster shots (return to item 1, many more die)

Stage 4.
Where the long term side effects from both Covid-19, Delta (inc. Long Covid) - as well as future strains;
- Where vaccines themselves could cause the virus to mutate;
(causing a continuation of death)
And also long term side affects of untested vaccines, with continued booster shots
- Starts to cause unknown health problems over the long term.

All because they failed to shut the international borders and set up proper quarantine.
Now our country is completely ruined, and it will never ever be the same.
(But many won't be around to see it anyway, they will have to pay the price of these mistakes with their lives)

I think that we are very fortunate that some State leaders got ahead of the wave early in this pandemic.

Morrison had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the table and embarrassingly forced to take action on this matter.

Maybe he thought all that had to be done to appease the public was vaccinating the grannies in care facilities.

Then it would all magically go away.

Morrison's disastrous delay in securing enough vaccines before the Australian winter ensured that the predicted seasonal spike in Covid cases would not be avoided.

We are paying the price for this anti-science and anti-expert stance by Morrison.

Do people really think that a fundamentalist creationist can understand the concept of mutation and what that means when talking about viruses?

I am glad I live in a state that is actively slowing the spread of this virus - giving the population the time needed to vaccinate before too much more damage can be done.

You missed one important point Armchair Critic.

A leaky ineffective "vaccine" will aid the virus in mutating into further new strains, which could be milder, but also could be worse as the Indian mutation.

There is so much bulldust with this thing.
How many of the current NSW infected are actually false positives?
How many of Victorian infections the same.
How much less dangerous the Indian mutation.
How effective are antivirals.
I wonder if anyone knows, it is for sure none of the posters here do.
How much worse is the effect, caused by lefties trying to weaponise the whole thing.

We will have to open out state boarders some time soon, & live or die with the result. The big question does any government have the guts to slam the international boarders tight shut. That is the answer to preserving life in Oz.
