This reads like "government decisions have never really affected my life in an easily discernible way until now, and all of a sudden I have strong opinions on their decision making process and feel they should be held to account for every consequence, whether it could have been predicted or not, or if any other government would have done any better"

Yes I haven't been as badly affected as you, but I haven't seen my family or friends for months and lost a full time job opportunity, I'm lucky that I can make money as a freelancer. As people keep saying, you and others have legitimate anger but it's like being angry cos a cyclone came through. I'm not convinced another hypothetical Victorian government would have done any better, turns out tiny mistakes and random chance can have huge consequences in this kind of thing.

bell jar posted:I reckon when all this started Dan hosed up with the F1 and stuff but I've been generally happy with his handling of the second wave lockdown. It hasn't been perfect but also they didn't have the benefit of hindsight. I'd rather be in lockdown for months and have less than 15 cases a day, than end up with a 8,000 case a day situation like Belgium Yeah, Europe is a cautionary tale for us in real time right now

I'm still kind of surprised that various governments have resisted what I'm assuming is serious pressure from large industries, business groups, interest groups, political donors etc. for this long. That they seem to be putting human life above the economy is weird

KTS posted:Everything about CS is intensely weird. His screeching meltdowns over the initial stage 3 lockdowns to now being happy with harsher restrictions to back then as long as stage 4 gets eased slightly, believing the intimate partner rule is for casual hook ups instead of people in a relationship who dont live together, thinking that because you've supported the 5km radius that it's backflipping if you travel outside of that when the restriction is lifted. It's honestly infuriating reading his posts and childish logic towards it all. A lot of people have never had something like this happen to them in their lives and they have no control over it or ability to do anything about it (except the public health requirements). I guess different people react in different ways, some them not logical ways

You're putting yourself outside of the of rules that everyone else has agreed to follow. Whether the rules are correct or not, it seems like exceptionalism on your part.

Carnaticum posted:As an aside, I gave blood for the first time last week*. Place was packed and appointments were sparse. I asked the nurse if its usually that busy or its just lockdown meaning people are just looking an excuse to get out. It was the latter. I went in last week for my 6th donation and mentioned that I had a bit of fatigue for a few days after the last one (I run daily and noticed that I just didn't quite have the same spring in my step, if I wasn't running I probably wouldn't have noticed) and they told me I was permanently banned from giving blood. I tried to explain that I run a lot and sweat a lot and I may have just not replaced my salt correctly but they wouldn't hear it. I get that it's probably an insurance thing but it didn't feel great. I should ask if I can get a doctor's note or something. I only mentioned it cos I thought they might give me advice on modifying the running or diet or something

Regional travel is the big one for me cos I can't see most of my family. If they can control this northern suburbs and school thing going on at the moment hopefully that means they are on top of things enough where we can get to a nsw situation where we don't have to be at a sustained zero to do anything social.

Solemn Sloth posted:14 day average 0.0 dan stronk Victoria prosper On the trails and parks I frequent the mask wearing is getting much more slack. They might have to adjust the rules soon just to avoid the perception of widespread obvious rule breaking with no consequences. The masks don't bother me so I'm happy to keep wearing them but it's going to be hard to convince people of the need to wear them in outside parks, sports fields, trails etc when there is very little virus getting around

I know someone that lives near Essendon airport and looks up the planes on app as they're going past to see where they're going and stuff, apparently it's a thing people do. He has some kind of radio setup to listen to their communications as well.

Sulla Faex posted:To my mind it'd seem like general mask use would be a good counter to an airborne virus with a short incubation period and high rates of asymptomatic spread. Numbers are very low in Australia, sure, but why is it acceptable to go full fash on individuals who catch it, and just give a free pass to everyone else? Masks are like close to zero effort so I still don't get why it's apparently such a big deal to put one on Every virologist and public health person says masks work. Ever since this started I've had trouble coming to terms with people that refuse to wear them.

It's been really weird how politicians and the media were trying to 'get Australia ready' to hear some really shocking news about our brave diggers. Of course they were committing war crimes you morons, anyone who thinks it was all done by the book over there is unbelievably credulous or willfully ignorant.

That show Addicted Australia on SBS was kind of interesting in that they did this multi pronged treatment with group therapy, detox, private sessions and pharmaceutical treatments working together. The thing that stood out though was that most of the patients reported some kind of trauma, that may have been addressed in therapy but not included in the show for obvious reasons. Makes you wonder how things like AA help anyone ever
