C19 has cost us $200billion in supporting business and jobs.... We a wealthy country, I pity some other countries that were poverty stricken before this all happened, The down turn in migration will be welcomed by some, Although we a very big country ,the habital areas are getting smaller and with climate change,things can only get worse..... I worry what the World will be like for my grandchildren... Soylet Green......π |

Yikes! I lived for several years in the Tulsa area and know the Okie mentality well....I can just imagine. Here in AZ, we have an interesting mix of liberal Democratic Northern transplants and home-grown conservatives. AZ is transforming into a purple, perhaps eventually blue (liberal Democrat) state, which is interesting. However, like OK, we have our hard-core "won't wear a mask, ever!" crowd. I get very nervous when shopping in large stores like Super Wal-Mart, since there have been armed confrontations. NEVER confront a person not wearing a mask, just avoid them. Penham, I'm very fond of OK, so it hurts me to see you having so many troubles. My wife and I sequester ourselves and work entirely from home, so we have withdrawn from the local economy - no restaurant meals, limited shopping, no socializing etc. Be safe out there! |

Not many people here liking the Federal government at the moment, I called the office of govener general,said when the constitution was written did they foresee a pandemic..... Did they make provision for it..... Of course the answer is No.... So therefore the constitution should be amended...... Our state premier had the full backing of the people...... To keep borders shut...... You should see the letters in local paper...... |

i have seen two articles online in new zealand regarding australlias plight in the last hour. pictures show long lines,as hundreds of non-preppers dash to the supermarkets to stock-up. i despair at the stupidity on display here. after the first lockdown,everybody had the chance to get some supplies,lest 'another' lockdown occured later on. this was an equal opportunity thing. everybody could have gotten a little something to put aside,.........but no.they were too proud i guess. remember fellow preppers,these are the same people who laughed at us for years,and 'joked' to us that they would just take [from us,by force if they felt inclined ] what they needed if the brown stuff ever hit the fan. im waiting for our media to be flooded with tales of woe and heartbreak,as the woefully unprepped face the consequences of reality. go ahead,tell me im wrong. |

Carbon I did laugh out loud this morning when I read that Scott Morrison was aiming to emulate NZ's strict lockdown because when we did it, Australian politicians were quick to accuse us of over reacting, committing economic suicide and being hysterical. Now the proof of the pudding's in the eating and they are following our lead, albeit 6 months too late. But seriously, I hope it works for your guys. It's amazing how quickly the numbers escalate. Now is a great time to do it because once spring and summer really get under way, they'll be no way of keeping you Aussies indoors, and you'll all be out and about socializing again. And just think about Christmas - lockdown over the festive season would be a complete nightmare. |

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesnβt accord with the facts.

In Colorado, Douglas County specifically, things are getting back to normal. Our movie theaters are opening, Our grocery stores are back to normal, people at beaches and parks. We still have to wear masks thank goodness. I hope i am wrong and that this thing fizzles out but I gotta tell you that I am worried for the fall! People are so hung up in thinking this is political they aren't even paying attention! |

I think most people will comply with the rules, no-one wants a lock down, Our biggest problem is returning AUSSIES still 30k overseas, who want to come back,can only take a few hundreds back every few weeks, as they have to stay in quarantine for 2 weeks under guard,not many flights and it cost big $$$$$, We shall see how it all pans out..... Stay safe all π·π |

We here in Western Australia,are only opening up to the rest of Australia, excluding NSW,and Victoria,anyone that comes here have to have checks and quarantine for 2 weeks, International travel not allowed....only Australias wanting to come home 30k at last count, Then it's 2 weeks under police guard in hotel at your expense($3,000approx) So only if someone stuffs up like what happened in Melbourne, and let's covid out, but no one wants 6 /8 weeks lockdown...... (The only covid here at the moment is in returned Australians.....all in quarantine....) Because that's the only thing that works...... As our state is opening up to the rest of Australia,(with restrictions) We have been asked to wear masks for a while if on public transport,crowds etc..... See what our people do? Will be interesting.... Take care everyone stay safe....π·π...... |
