The reason it irked me is because there's a persistent attitude in the majority (I think) of the population, which is to start with the legal restrictions and work their way down. Whereas what the government has been encouraging people to do, and relying on "common sense" for people to do, is to begin with the basic premise of "do I need to leave home?" and work their way up, ideally hitting a ceiling of personal necessity before they hit the actual legal limit.

For example I have a friend on Facebook relieved that the organic store where he gets a specialty organic cabanossi he likes is within 5km of his home. Does he need that specific cabanossi? No, he does not. Do people need to get fresh air and exercise anywhere further than their closest park? No, they do not. Do people need to arrange to meet up with a friend, get a takeaway coffee, and then walk around the local lake together drinking and chatting? No, they do not. Just because you legally can do something doesn't mean you should.

Can we have some of what you're smoking Hambeet, to get us through these lockdowns, because we all know children can't catch or spread Covid. Scumo told me so.

Victoria going back in to lockdown


https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/statement-premier-92 posted:

Which is why, on the advice of Acting Chief Health Officer, Victoria will go into lockdown tonight, meaning there are only five reasons to leave home from 11:59pm on Thursday 15 of July 2021.

That means you can only leave home to get the food and the supplies you need, for exercise for up to two hours and no more than 5kms from your home, for care or caregiving, work or education if you can’t do it from home or to get vaccinated at the nearest possible location.

These restrictions will be in place for five days.

A list of authorised work and workers is available online here – but you all know the drill.

Gladys continues to refuse to define "essential workers"

Is this even true, I can't be bothered listening to Kyle Sandilands ever again but I want to know if this happened or its just a joke. A real joke, not like Scumo.

Scumo also told me that he doesn't hold a book mate, how would he know about sick kids? Probably a Leprecaun.

Heard a rumour that the removalists were smuggling people and that's why they are being elusive with their info and why the lockdown has ben so hard and fast. It's almost certainly not true but its hilarious and kinda makes sense in that people would be willing to pay money to avoid having to isolate etc.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Silly thought:

If ScoMo did a PR photo shoot at the Engadine McDonalds, how would it be recieved?

Would it be a positive for him? Showing he can laugh at himself, and would it enhance the "man of the people daggy dad" facade he desperately wears?

Or would it be a negative for him? A blatantly tone deaf publicity stunt that would backfire as he would be laughed at, and would lose the respect, (and votes), of posh upper crust Liberal types.

Of course he would be insane to do it, and it won't happen in any conceivable universe. But it was a silly thought I had.

You can't have a fascist government without marching in the streets, going door to door, concentrating people in cramped conditions. All of these things are bad for Covid, if anything, Covid is a communist. It forces people do things for the public good or die.
