"police will have new powers"......

And what did I say 2 weeks ago.... "That 6 weeks was only if they got it under control. It still ain't under control, so that 6 weeks is gonna be extended...."

 

And then today we see:

 

Victorian state of emergency extended by four weeks

Thinking of youse all over there.

it 'aint over 'till it's over and that won't be until there is a vaccine. It's not just suddenly going to disappear because of a lockdown and isolation. And why would it stop at a so called second wave and not continue for a third or fourth. To think it won't continue infecting until a cure comes along is just bizarre.

[pedro de pacas]

Its still the first wave

There seems to be hope on the horizon in terms of vaccine development but there's also hype, we should hope for a vaccine but we cant count on one yet.

As a society we seem to have short memories..... 1918 (1917 if your a stable genius) wasn't so long ago that we should have forgotten what it took to get us through it.

Working together, helping each other and following the best available science.

The similarities between this pandemic and the last are glaring and if anyone thinks current lockdowns are draconian then a quick look in a history book will remind you of why and what will come next if we cant work together on this.

 

Do your best to stay safe everyone.

humanity survived the 1918 pandemic without a vaccine . Hopefully so with this one too . unless of course this is a man made viral stew!

Best bet listen to news media as little as possible before they suck you into their vortex of lies and deception!✌

Unless that media is well referenced from a variety of credible sources?

Was that a joke?

The lockdowns are Draconian and the rise in anti govt sentiment are a representation of this.

The statistics (in Australia) would suggest that the cure is by far worse than the effect.

 

I'd agree that working together to achieve a relatively good outcome is a decent plan of attack, however my definition of " work together" is not to blindly follow Govt and assume that theirs is the correct, best or only course of action.

Hahaha. Too funny.

 

The chick that wrote that is an expert in fly and tick bites.

The link “Some scientists” in blue in the same article hooks up to a British tabloid. Raves on about harvesting bats for further work in their Wuhan lab some seven years ago.

 

References from credible sources are lacking to say the least. Credible being scientist and the like.

Reporters and “article paid pseudo science experts” do not fit this bill in my opinion.
