Animal Friend posted:WA continuing to live out it's power fantasy of seceding from the Commonwealth has been kind of fun to watch. It's also been fun watching various Sydney-based commentators slamming McGowan for it over and over again when they have probably never been to WA and have no desire to ever go to WA.

Highest number of new cases for New South Wales since April. On the other hand: still a lower total number of active cases than as recently as early November.

Greater Sydney residents or visitors cannot enter Victoria without hotel quarantine as of midnight. VIC residents get an extra 24hrs to get home, must self isolate at their residence.

I cancelled my Christmas on the Northern Beaches and instead decided to go spend it with my girlfriend and her family in... Albury. Why couldn't she be from Wodonga.

Hildebrand is an obvious troll but it is actually good that this new outbreak is confined to a relatively wealthy area with a higher proportion of white collar people who can work from home, as opposed to scattered across the city among low-income workers with big households and multiple insecure jobs, like Melbourne's second wave was

Rich people were also responsible for some of the big outbreaks globally, no? They're far more likely to travel, go to ski resorts (like Ishgl in Austria) and, psychologically speaking, greater wealth corresponds to greater feelings of personal exceptionalism. And just generally higher rates of sociopathy/narcissism But we already knew that mo money, mo problems (for other people)

Of course. It goes without saying that poorer communities will always suffer far more than the rich (even the french bloody revolution doesnt escape this pattern), I just meant that it's common for people to frame these issues as "oh those [oppressed demographics] are responsible for all this poo poo, why should we have to wear masks or not be able to travel just because some [pejorative] wants to gently caress it over for everyone else" but in reality, as is usually the case, the true perpetrators are the loving rich and privileged. i.e. usually the people complaining about the situation they and their ilk have created and perpetuated

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-20/former-deputy-prime-minister-doug-anthony-dies/12590524 Good loving riddance. Achieved nothing for his constituents and helped drag Australia towards the abyss that JWH joyfully threw us into. gently caress this guy. MFTM died in the driveway of the Darwin Sobering Up Shelter about 10pm and was believed to be just passed out drunk until 10.18pm, when police checked her breathing. Police officers who took her to the centre did not check the custody log, which showed she had chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and should be managed as “at risk”. She died of bronchiectasis. The coroner found police had failed to record every instance of protective custody, as they were required to do under general orders, and made two recommendations to that effect. ISSUES RAISED Medical care required but not all given, procedures not all followed, mental health / cognitive impairment.

It would be really loving nice if the headlines all along the lines of "QLD SHUTS BORDER TO NSW" instead said, "Literally nothing has changed today, calm the gently caress down" Speaking as someone who lives in NSW but not in Sydney.

I was down on the Surf Coast in Victoria, and about 1 in 50 people are wearing masks indoors. Everyone else has given up. If the rest of Victoria is the same, there's no way it's contained to a not-mask wearing and not-locked-down NSW or Sydney.

Anyway, it's OK to be lax about masks on Victoria's Surf Coast because there's no COVID there. 38,000 tests yielding only 15 new cases strongly suggest the Avalon cluster has been contained to the locked-down Northern Beaches.

1/100 people seems to be wearing a mask in Melbourne. I went out for lunch on Sunday and everything was super busy, I was the only one with a mask on. I'll just keep wearing it because I don't find it uncomfortable.
