The 59-year-old died six weeks later in hospital, surrounded by family. The coroner ruled that his death was due to natural causes and said his medical care and treatment in hospital had been "unremarkable".

norp posted:Yeah it's been hard having to scan a QR code at the pub and store some masks in the bottom of the junk drawer these last 12 months It really is a case of people cherry picking the worst elements of theirs or others experiences, and totally ignoring others. The genuine trauma of other people is terrible, but now there are people like Christensen taking shaky cam footage of a random tall fence on Infowars saying 'here are the camps'. A guy told me diabetes is the same as covid because wearing a mask or staying at home is a lifestyle choice, but funding for diabetes would save more lives, therefore the government is actively killing people by giving so much attention to covid. He also said WA is a gilded cage, so obviously anyone who is happy or comfortable is actually brainwashed.

Something I wonder about the anti-lockdown, anti-vax pro-freedumb nutjobs. Is their anger going to be directed at only left-wing targets, (Dan, Anna etc.), or because they are actual dumb dumbs who barely know what they are protesting against beyond "lockdown is bad!" will that anger be thrown against the government, in an "all pollies are the same!" approach. PUP seems to hope so. But there is also the phenomenon of how these protests are being infiltrated/co-opted by proper hardcore right-wing dangerous crazy types. What with the aping of QAnon and MAGA stuff from America. So one would think that these types would be funnelling the mob as a pro LNP group. On this, and whilst it pains me to even give a half arsed pseudo compliment to ScoMo, (the fascist oval office that he is), I expected him to go a lot harder with the "I, and the Liberal government are trying to get Australia out of lockdown and doing all the good freedom stuff. They, the filthy communist Labor opposition want to keep you in your homes and force vaccines that make you gay onto your children." I suppose he hasn't started campaigning in earnest yet, so that poo poo may still arise, but I expected more of it from him. And to date he has been a little subdued.

It's amazing to me how many people are salty at WA for... being one of the best places to live for the last two years? Not just the anti-vax weirdos or whatever, the strong cohort of Sydney-based Australian Twitterati who subconsciously believe that anything that happens outside of NSW or Victoria is some kind of provincial eccentricity. Whoop de doo, you got to travel overseas from November after spending four months in hard lockdown, what an accomplishment.Synthbuttrange posted:I've never EVER seen Australians being as mad at anything and stage such long term protests as they are with getting shots. I guess in terms of protesting it's usually a small group of activists caring about a more theoretical cause, whereas this is a large group of people (who I'm sure 90% of them have ever lifted a finger to give a gently caress about anything else) protesting about something which very specifically affects them...?

Konomex posted:The border was not to keep us in, it was to keep all the others out. How do people on the outside not realise this? My favourite thing was the last few months when people seemed to think WA still had a totally hard closed border, when in fact it was open to everywhere except plague-riddled NSW, Vic, and the ACT. Of course people in Sydney and Melbourne could be forgiven for thinking this, since nowhere outside those three places in Australia exists, but then that's a paradox sparking the collapse of reality because what's this COVID-free *Western* Australia we're talking about now???

CrazyTolradi posted:Should prisoners in Australia who do work be paid minimum wage for it? y/n? Yes. Criminals should be sent to prison to be rehabilitated, because they pose a danger if left in society, and as a general deterrent effect. The work component isn't part of the punishment, should be part of the rehabilitation, and should be paid. It will improve the odds of them re-integrating into society if they have a bit of cash to fall back on when they are out (even if you link it to one of those stupid dole cards). Also, prisoners shouldn't be a slave workforce used to undercut the wages of workers. e: and for clarity, if the criminal isn't a danger to society and can be rehabilitated in the community then they shouldn't be in prison for minor offences.

It's going to be interesting to see whether all those entry requirements plus beginning off an infection base of zero will be enough to keep case numbers low, and if so, for how long - for all the COVID-zero states, not just WA.

 lol Alan Jones has moved to youtube streaming and it would seem that he sucks at it as much as he does anything else. Stream crashed within 3 minutes of going live and then 2 hours later he was able to get online to both spout unhinged conspiracy stuff and rant about dumb poo poo like how apparently the ferries in Sydney suck and they suddenly changed a bus route on him. Apparently Dominic Perrottet also made an appearance, continuing the theme of Mr. Jones not really being silenced by anything except his own uselessness.
