r/CoronavirusDownunder NSW - Vaccinated (1st Dose) 21d ago

BREAKING: Westmead Hospital declared a Code Yellow today meaning patient and staff safety cannot be managed by internal resources. No doubt more hospitals to follow. How has our public health system not been prepared for this @BradHazzard @GladysB?! #nswpol #COVID19nsw https://t.co/WHRHDqzrq2 News Report

How privileged are you that you would accept people dying so you can get out of lockdown in a first world country.

You have no idea what you are saying. Even if it’s 40 people a day, that is a huge amount of deaths and we will all be affected. Losing a loved one is much harder and forever to 207 days of lockdown.

How selfish are you to ask me to make a sacrifice so you can feel safe? Easy for you to advocate me being in lockdown from the safety of Adelaide

How many days of lockdown have you don't buddy? 30? 40?

Let me guess: you're the same sort of the guy who doesn't see why drunk driving is a bad thing, eh?

No, im the guy who has a problem with others asking me to make sacrifices for them when they arent even in lockdown

If someone from Melbourne or even Sydney wants to tell me to suck it up I'll engage with them. If someone who isn't in lockdown tells me I'm selfish for wanting to end the lockdown then I get a bit stroppy

Someone from Sydney here - suck it up.

If there was a big wall of flames outside your house, you wouldn't choose to walk outside even if it was 300 days locked inside. So at some level you have to be making the call 'I probably won't die, so it's ok'. Which translates to 'I don't want to lock down, I would prefer it if people (who aren't me) die instead'.

Umm you don't know me buddy

That wall of flames is looking pretty good tbh (in terms of me being burnt, not others being burnt)
