Scomo saving me

So you're a moral arbiter on everything that is good.You disagree with elements of his policy platform.Ironic I do the same with Labor policy.Well I'll be .

I can echo your comments about every PM Labor and Liberal over the decades.I remember the recession we had to have, and all children will be out of poverty rhetoric.And my life and family were affected by these people at various times.

Guess what, they like you and me are human.They make mistakes.
Matter of fact I live within a km of where he Morrison lived and everyone I know who has had dealings with him, say he's compassionate, down to earth and listens.Yes there are criticisms at times.

So you were there when he visited people who suffered from the bushfires in Qld and Nthn NSW ,before he went to Hawaii ,did you? And the drought affected areas? You obviously have not a clue about that.
Like the media ,look only at the negatives.

You were there when he and the various State premiers and doctors are spending 7 days a week up to 18 hours per day on the odd occasion ,to work out policies to save people and their jobs.No other Govt in this country has had to put up with this world wide disaster of this health and economic magnitude.And yes because of the great unknown at times errors will be made.This all about the well being of the community sheesh.

Unfortunately like the rest of the world ,our kids and grandkids will be the ones paying for the debt.
Next you'll be blaming the Govt for the virus.

I suggest you have a look at a country of 1.3bn that has a communistic/socialistic one party system, that controls media ,religion, and many other state enterprises, where this whole virus horror started, and ask yourself why the hell didn't they tell the world back in November.Two doctors blew the whistle, one died ,the other has disappeared.Then they tell the world after two months.
Direct your fire at that country, their leaders and system are a friggin disgrace to humanity.

Ok cool

You tell me to shut up because China is worse.

China is worse because people can’t scrutinise or criticise

Yep. Quicksilver must be right. This whole virus pandemic is a cunning plan for Governments across the world to wield more power.
Betcha Scomo and his party have been rubbing their hands together waiting for this day so they can splash around the credit card and put their thumbs down on the oppressed masses.

Corona Virus is the hoax of this century & the sheep have fallen for it! We are allowing lockdowns and social distancing with our economy to be wrecked for less than 25 suspect deaths! With people like DS now begging to get their life saving vaccine - regardless of it's ingredients!

You have got to be the biggest dumbass I’ve ever come across.

Making fun of a virus that has already killed thousands and thousands of people around the world and will kill many more thousands before it is over is really pathetic.

You don’t need any vaccines because you have ice in your veins you cold hearted asshole.

Shifting posts LOL.I've wasted too much valuable time and expended too much energy arguing with you.
I suggest you have a geek at Morrison and Professor Brendan Murphy's press conference yesterday ,which was on every Tv station.It covered the modelling issue and the famous curve.
Ciao

Sure, nobody is forcing you to discuss this (I hope).

I said the communication has been poor, because we have had no overall strategy, modelling or research behind the government actions. And it is not just me saying that, I've quoted a whole bunch of epidemiologists and members of the AMA.

You haven't actually shown that they have communicated these things (as you can't because they haven't), so like Eion, you've justified why they don't have to (even though the USA, NZ and the UK managed to do it). They certainly didn't cover it well in the press conference yesterday, but again, we got some hints (like we have most this week, but that is still after my comment about the communication being poor, way too late in the piece, and these hints don't really catch it up to being good).

But if you are happy to be treated like a mushroom in a democracy, that is your own prerogative and it is not my role to convince you otherwise. I raised communication of these things as one issue that I have with how our governments have handled the coronavirus crisis, people denied that these things weren't being done and accused me of hating the federal government so much I was biased, and now it seems no one can see that these things have been communicated, so instead they are saying why they are not important to them.

So that is fine. I'm not OK with not being told these important things in one of the most important times in our history, and I can see that you are OK with that, and that obviously won't change.

Scomo absolutely crushing this. Even albo concedes Coronavirus is so big and complex that not everyone will be happy with every decision. The response has been fantastic on any reasonable, balanced view. Guaranteed second term. Yeah da boys!!

You sound like all those fox commentators in that clip Generalzod posted. I'd say "You do know how viruses and exponential growth work, don't you?" but if you are disputing vaccines the chances are good that you don't.

Absolutely. This is a nightmare in Spain, Italy, New York. And only just beginning. We would be there too (still could be) except for social distancing and the actions of our governments. It would be easier to fake the moon landing or 911 (I don't for a minute believe those conspiracies) than the news out of those places. This is obviously real, deadly, and heart breaking for so many people.

Haha that's the problem!
The report Covid-19 – Navigating the Uncharted was co-authored by Dr. Anthony Fauci – the White House face of the fight –, H. Clifford Lane, and CDC director Robert R. Redfield. So it comes from the heart of the U.S. healthcare establishment.

The report explicitly states, “the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.”

You do know the deadliest virus ever was "just a flu" don't you? (in terms of total deaths).

SARS and MERS were very deadly. The clinical consequences of this aren't as bad.

But the population consequences are much worse, as it spreads much more easily than SARS or MERS did. More easily than the flu even, and more deadly than the flu.

As it is, the flu kills hundreds of thousands world wide every year. If we don't contain coronavirus, this could kill that many just in Australia.

Countries like the UK, and US have done terribly so far, so we are crushing it compared to them. Places like Singapore and NZ are doing fine also, so it will be interesting to see how our different approaches go, but hopefully we all do well.

It's a bit early in the piece to celebrate too much. We have done well so far, a few months in. We have 6, 12, maybe 18 months to go before we can really say how successful we've been.
