This leads me to a serious question:

Whilst we all love our communist socialist Fuhrer Dictator Dan down here in Victoria, how is he seen beyond our borders?

The same way Gladys is still relatively liked/electable in Sydney/NSW, but is hated/unelectable by the rest of Australia.

Sorry for the myopic-ness of these questions.

I agree.

I have my own thoughts about that which is: ideally, zero deaths. That isn't realistic though. So, is the next realistic outcome to have a CMR on par with previous flu outbreaks in Australia?

That isn't ideal, but it seems realistic to me. Open to other thoughts.

Low levels? Sure.

curious as to why zero deaths is unrealistic when states outside of nsw and vic seem to be handling it just fine?

Two-week quarantines to cross state borders is not a realistic long-term solution.

why not? it works to protect people, if you've got an urgent need to cross (or are an elite footballer lol) you can get an exemption. it's inconvenient for travel but there's nothing stopping that being the new normal.

why is it always that the new normal involves the vulnerable dying rather than an inconvenience to the wealthy?

Seems like that will be the case. A fully vaxxed person has done everything they can before they travel interstate. Testing on departure and arrival is fine too.

estimates are ~5% of the population are immunosuppressed at any given time (mostly cancer patients). why do they deserve to die for your family holiday?

That's how we do it for all other things we vaccinate against? Should WA close their border everytime they detect someone with the flu, hepatitis, etc?

those things aren't as contagious as covid, and hell, maybe they should.

Look there is very obviously no crystals in cochlear implants. If they were the crystals would obviously cure their hearing problems using hippy crystal magic what not, and they wouldn't need the implants any more.

That's just like, common sense man.

au contraire, mon ami! electrical diagrams of the cochlear implant reveal the existence of diodes, which are derived from Crystal detector technology.

A semiconductor diode, the most commonly used type today, is a crystalline piece of semiconductor

We walked into McDonalds, asked them to make us a cheeseburger without the cheese, and when we found out that they would take 15 years to make us a junior burger we've decided to drive three hours to Hungry Jacks.

meanwhile the pizza hut across the road is nervously watching us stockpile burgers that no-one in the house wants to eat. 'why do they have all those burgers, if not to force our customers to eat them?' says the assistant manger.

they burn down our house in premeditated self defense. hungry jacks does not intervene.

which is, to be fair, one of the greatest paintings of all time

it really is an amazing painting

i also know cossacks from the historical film Goldeneye in which sean bean played a descendant of cossacks who was a villain.

I was about to ask if anything was accomplished here that couldn't have been accomplished quicker and easier by fighter jets, but actually: Has there been any battle since World War II (i.e. in history) that involved fighter jets and wasn't between third world countries? Are we all not maybe wasting our money on extraneous military hardware after we or our allies built an obscene amount of nukes?

the Korean, Six Day, Yom Kippur, Vietnam, Falkland and Gulf wars spring to mind.

it's not clancy talk to suggest that militarily the china of 1979 is not the china of 2022. 43 years is a long time to develop doctrines and equipment, especially when you have the worlds 2nd largest economy to play with.
