BLM protesters given 5pm curfew by Met police The curfew and other lockdown measures in MELBOURNE were deemed necessary because selfish fuking kunts didn't think social distancing applied to them, didn't think a need for wearing masks when out in public applied to them, didn't think that if feeling unwell to isolate until tested applied to them, didn't think that if tested positive to isolate applied to them. MELBOURNE is experiencing the most severe form of lockdown because of selfish kunts who questioned (and disobeyed) the measures necessary to control a virus. Case numbers were rising and people were dying but that doesn't bother selfish kunts! You left one out in your rant..... the Victorian Govt...... they stuffed up big time also as they were in charge/control of the quarantine procedures/venue/staff allocation when an outbreak occurred there due to their inept handling of the situation. A perfect example of how a lockdown did not work..... in this case it created more cases of the virus.... and another example where State Premiers should not be in control as they continue on their power hunger roles..... it should all come under the banner of one control point..... the PM. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd been listened to, instead of Western Australians enjoying the pubs being open, the clubs being open, the restaurants being open, workplaces being open, schools being open, the stadiums being open and no community transmission since April we'd be heading back into lockdown like Victoria, NSW, Queensland. Fuk off Snotty! Mark McGowan, 96% approval rating for his handling to the pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are not good right now': Jordan Peterson battling COVID-19, U.K. paper reports 'He'll get better, but he's definitely taken a step back and it's just really unfortunate ... it's been a disaster,' Peterson's daughter told the Sun Jordan Peterson in March 2018. Craig Robertson/Postmedia/File The controversial Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson has contracted COVID-19, his daughter told the Sun, a tabloid newspaper in the United Kingdom. “He’ll get better, but he’s definitely taken a step back and it’s just really unfortunate … it’s been a disaster,” Mikhaila Peterson told the newspaper. Jordan Peterson, who skyrocketed to prominence over his protests regarding Bill C-16, which added gender identity to Canada’s human rights and Criminal Codes. He has long been a prominent speaker on YouTube, the bestselling author of the self-help book 12 Rules for Life and has been published extensively in the National Post. Peterson dropped from public life earlier this year, travelling to Russia to seek treatment for reliance on benzodiazepines, a class of prescription drugs used commonly to treat anxiety and insomnia; the most common brands are Valium, Ativan and Xanax. Mikhaila Peterson had said he was using them to treat an autoimmune disorder and anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fauci has worked under 6 US presidents ...from both political parties. He is the most respected and widely published epidemiologist in the US. Right now he is the only one in the US government speaking "truth to power" during the Trump's COVID-19 debacle. He is 79 years old. Still working hard for public health while most folks his age (still alive) are sipping little umbrella drinks on a beach somewhere. . . . Dr. Anthony Fauci says chance of coronavirus vaccine being highly effective is ‘not great’ PUBLISHED FRI, AUG 7 2020 https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/07/coronavirus-vaccine-dr-fauci-says-chances-of-it-being-highly-effective-is-not-great.html White House coronavirus advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci that the chances of scientists creating a highly effective vaccine — one that provides 98% or more guaranteed protection — for the virus are slim. Scientists are hoping for a coronavirus vaccine that is at least 75% effective, but 50% or 60% effective would be acceptable, too, he said. The FDA has said it would authorize a coronavirus vaccine so long as it is safe and at least 50% effective. ...On Friday, Fauci reiterated that he is “cautiously optimistic” scientists will find a safe and effective vaccine. He also reiterated that the coronavirus may never be eliminated, but world leaders can work together to bring the virus down to “low levels.” Some of Fauci’s comments have been at odds with President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly said the virus would “disappear.” Trump, who is seeking reelection, said Thursday that it’s possible the United States could have a safe and effective vaccine for the coronavirus before the upcoming presidential election on Nov. 3. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
