what fake news have I shouted? come on, you've made a big old statement there.

im not saying lockdown is or is not right, that parts evaded you, clearly.

but if california had stayed open would it have ended at 165 deaths per 100,000? or would it be far higher?

if so, why did Florida do so well, comparatively?

when did the quest for knowledge become so political to you Robb, you need to lean off mainstream media for a while bro.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The mainstream media is mainly right leaning so I might search for some alternative outlets

also Robb curiously and somewhat of a tangent, do you agree with the racist policing of Sydney?

you know, letting the wealthy white eastern suburbanites flout lockdown while riding in with an army of police to police the southwest despite the east being really the root of this outbreak?

curious on your views of your domestic policies since youre so well ingrained in US policy it seems
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s going to cause a lot of issues for people who count on needing to leave the area but the zero COVID policy is working so far so the next couple of weeks will be key. I can assure you however that the people in the east (myself included) aren’t flouting anything.

Did you read that? Corporate media is not left wing. FFS. You'll note that left leaning people actually listen/watch/read more varied media than left meaning people. Hmmmm seems some folk can't listen/read/watch anything that doesn't feed their own biases.
Just saying. Read it. And its from 2014.

That’s a misleading article though. Where are the groups of people over 10? You’re allowed to go for exercise. That’s what these people are doing at Bondi. I might even go myself.

I did read it. It lost me when it said the Huffington post was ‘far left’ yet Fox News was ‘towards the right’.

if you really think the media is conservative leaning en masse then you're really focussing on just one or two outlets.

in the US here the vast majority of media is liberal, New York and California dominate and they are very liberal.

TV you have NBC, MNSBC, CNN, ABC, CBS etc are all pretty clearly liberal while FOX really stands out as the only nut job right wing one.

thats before you even get into social media and their policing of anything remotely conservative.

But this is a whole different topic altogether

NSW Police has warned popular coastal walks may be shut down following images and video showing residents flocking to the areas, flouting Covid lockdown rules.

Over the weekend, images showed crowds of people at Bondi Beach and along Manly’s foreshore on the northern beaches, seemingly ignoring health orders to stay at home unless “absolutely essential”.

go ahead Robb, go flout lockdown laws after spending this time furiously defending them, couldn't make it up

oh and exercise is limited to 2 people not 10, and youre not supposed to stop, get your towel out and sunbathe, but dont let that stop you!

“I can’t believe the good people of Fairfield have responded with an A-plus and the people of the eastern suburbs seem to think Covid won’t infect them,” he said.

“It’s like they are living on another planet. It’s not only selfish but it is arrogance of the highest order.”

Oh yes. Then there's Newsmax, OAN owned and run by Falun gong religious nutters. But loves the American right because their so fekin gullible.
And all the MSM were having a collective schit hemorrhage when it looked like Bernie would be nominated. Lies upon lies to put the corporatist Biden in instead.

You’ve decided to make me the spokesperson for Australia which is odd as I’m fairly certain I didn’t blame you personally for all the dumb Americans out there. Masterful deflection tactic though 👏

There are some idiot Australians. And there are some idiot Americans. However, when the dust settles there will be far less Australians dead needlessly because we made the tough choices instead of having a huge swath of the populace scared to wear face masks because ‘freedom’ while lecturing other people on not having freedom to have abortions because hypocrisy.

you made yourself the spokesman for the east when you said, and I quote

"I can assure you however that the people in the east (myself included) aren’t flouting anything."

not sure where youre going with abortions though, literally nothing to say there, because I am very much pro choice, and I know you were sad to hear that im fully vaxxed too.

so get back to telling me what eastern suburbs people aren't doing that they clearly are, when you've got that egg off your face that is

posted on 22/7/21

I hope this isn't becoming a contest between who the dumbest are? Americans win hands down

Been pretty disgusted by the ignorant, arrogant attitude i have seen the last few years here, it really is far worse than i ever expected, so much so i am ready to leave and i never believed i would say that a few years ago.

Apologies. There are some idiots in the eastern suburbs, but I very much doubt there is the racist policing that you earlier mentioned considering the article you posted clearly showed that the people on the east coast were the ones being slated by the police. By all means post any proof that the westies and lebs are being treated differently.

well we finally got back to CA/FL

CA did wear masks, locked down, and is very much pro choice - 165 deaths per 100,000
FL didn't - 161 deaths per 100,000

shutting the borders seems to be really the only intelligent thing Australia did, if they had done that and vaccinated the tiny populace that you have over the last 7/8 months then you'd really have nailed it

I saw this interesting thing on TikTok yesterday. This guy was asked what he thought was the biggest threat to US security. He said that it wasn’t this pandemic. It was the next one. He said that a foreign power could manufacture one and release it in the US because they’ve seen just how selfish 50% of the US population are and how it would be so easy to divide and conquer the US based on how the past 18 months have been.

some truth to that but if it was actually a foreign actor and proven, you'd be surprised how quickly the US can unite against foreigners

We’re victims of our own success. No danger in our faces so the populace don’t feel the need for the vaccine. Not even from an antivaxx perspective - although there are deffo our fair share of antivaxxers- more that there was a thought we could ride it out. Sadly the variants have sped up the need to be vaccinated and once Pfizer is available en masse I think most people will happily be vaccinated.
