The government is basically bankrupting its own citizens by shuttering business and not compensating them in any meaningful way. You all want to talk about masks and vaccines helping others but when your fellow countrymen are losing their homes and going hungry you get real quiet real quick.

u/youngthugsbrother 22d ago
What is happening in places in Australia like NSW is not even remotely close to "slightly inconvenient". They have been in a COVID Lockdown for a while now, and this is not an advisory lockdown or anything, this is a strict lockdown. You can't travel 5 km away from your home, you are only allowed 1 hour outside, violate any of these for any reason and thats a multiple thousand dollar fine. All the while, the government is vaccinating at a snails pace. It's inhumane, and I feel for every Australian who has to go through this insanity.

u/IngFavalli 22d ago
Not in social economics no, you gotta balance how many deaths are acceptable vs deaths generated by excessive lock down (which can actually lead to less effectiveness of it as a measure)
So the question is, how many yearly deaths is the acceptable amount?

It’s going to be pretty inconvenient for me if I die from covid thanks to people not wearing masks, not social distancing, and not getting vaccinated.

About 2000 people worldwide are annually killed by lightning. (Source: National Geographic)
Since the pandemic started there’s been about 4,400,284 deaths worldwide from Covid-19. (Source: World Health Organization)
Conclusion: You’re more likely to die from covid than lightning.

Are you aware of what these people are actually protesting about? Australia is a large place.

u/mamadidntraisenobitc 21d ago
If the title is correct, these are protests aimed at the insane lockdown measures currently in effect in Australia?
1
u/gt_pop 21d ago
Nope. These guys are protesting the fact we have cut a town (The Tweed) into 2 and drawn a hard border. 1 half of the town is in 1 state (QLD), the other half is in a other (NSW).
Why did they get cut off? 1 state actually does hard lockdowns early to stop the spread of rona and has been successful everytime so far (QLD). The other state said lockdowns are not necessary and took their time implementing any restrictions (NSW) and are still half assing it. They are now weeks into it and their numbers of new infections have grown substantially and its spreading beyond their major city (sydney) with no downward trend in sight yet. Because of their lax controls, a numpty that had rona travelled up to Byron Bay (45min south of the border) and infected the town for a few days.
It's tough for a lot of those people that live at the Tweed because they cant get to work or go about their lives normally. But this is a bigger problem because 1 entire state is out of lockdowns because we've listened, locked down early and are back to normal within a couple of weeks. The other state is rooted and have pretty much given up on being able to control it.
Being in QLD i do feel sorry, but I support the fact we have cut them off. Our state offered a number of options to help that border town and surrounding area, but the arrogance of the failing government in NSW said no. So, we've cut them off.
Our federal gov didnt secure enough vaccines so we dont have the luxury of protecting ourselves any other way.

I just looked up the rules for that region and people don't need a permit to leave their house. Their stadiums are allowed to operate with crowds.
It's basically the same rules as where I live in Canada.
We've had similar rules in place, if not more strict, for around 16 months now.

My whole building was put into a forced 14 day quarantine because one person had covid in a building which houses well over a 1000 people. I couldn't even take my rubbish to the bin on the same floor under threat of $5000 fines, nor did I have a choice with people police knocking (loud knocking) my fucking door 4 to 5 times a day during that period and yelling at me for information that I gave to the asshole before them that cop knocked on my door too.
This was in Australia, and that was a whole lot more then slightly inconvenient. Thanks for speaking for me.

God my heart fucking bleeds for you mate, must be pretty awful that the Aussies are now finally realising the hell most other countries in the world have been going through for the past 1.5 years.
You sound like a child. Get over yourself. The longer you lot continue to act like children because of a lockdown, the longer you'll be in lockdown, and the more the Delta variant will spread. And Australia hasn't got a hope in hell against it because practically no-one in the country has antibodies, let alone been doubly vaccinated.
And yet somehow I know despite all of this, y'all continue to re-elect the absolute moron who doesn't believe in climate change.

I live in the most proactive city against Covid in the US and I have never seen anything remotely close to what this guys is describing.

You sound like an absolute wanker, like literally you should of been a blowjob that your mum spat out because you were unworthy. I'm also assuming your parents did a shit job raising you with the way you speak to people.
Either in fact you are just a fkn dead shit and would of been bashed multiple times over their life and missing most your teeth if you came from where I am speaking like that, or you're a paid basher based on your response. In anycase, you should feel ashamed.
Lets get a few things straight.
Most countrys aren't quarantining entire buildings because of one person. Nor do most countrys issues $5000 fines for minors issues.
My city Melbourne has spent more then 200 days in lockdown longer then anywhere else in the world but your ignorant red neck ass would say otherwise, yet my country has only had 1000 deaths in total.
And let me make this last point clear: you should of been a blowjob.... don't make the same mistake your whore of a mum did... please don't breed.
Edit: I just realised you're german, and you're ranting about my country electing the wrong leader.... thats literally the funniest shit a german could say. Least my family and 60% of my country have never elected a real Nazi you ungrateful free riding fuck. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
(BTW you still owe us money for the Marshall plan, perhaps you could take it from the money Germany and France extort from Western Africa every year.)
(Eg. Climate change according to a German and west African.
German: Ooh yum this shiza tastes nice, fuck we need to do something about these factorys making this polution!!!
African: we don't have any factories, we need some tho the jobs and money could help my people alot.
German: no don't you get it!!! you can't have any, ive got an idea how about we sell you everything you need?
African: huh what? We don't have any money France took it all.
German: thats alright we will tell France to give you a bigger allowance, and to boot we will get the whole world to give you subsidies so you never need to build them and can always buy through us.
African: wait thats kinda fucked up...
German wipes shit from mouth
German: if you don't agree, France will invade your country.

They want a suicide lottery because they are contrarians who cannot accept working together or agreeing with the “other” side. They’ve shifted from: “fake virus!” (and now silently admit it’s real); to “vaccines are dangerous!” (and now silently admitting they work), to “we want naturally acquired antibodies until herd immunity!” (and now call getting infected their “patriotic duty!”). That is insanity. It’s like bug chasers in the gay community who want to get HIV/AIDS so they can be part of that community.
They celebrate anytime the EU or WHO request vaccine makers to investigate possible side effects in some individuals. Think about that. They celebrate any possibility that the vaccines may hurt people. That says everything to me.
They’re lost now.
The Bible says a lot about hubris and excessive pride, not that these cross-clutching people would care 🙄

u/taurine14 21d ago
It’s more to do with the fact the Australian government have chosen endless lockdowns over vaccines. They’re really, REALLY behind on their vaccine numbers because they didn’t bother ordering enough last year when Pfizer found it - their strategy is to just lock down every time there are a few cases reported. It’s kinda ruining people’s lives.
