Australia shows the world the wrong way to keep the virus under control
If you are looking for a country that is serious about COVID and is getting "extraordinary" results, look no further than Australia. They employ mandated vaccinations, lockdowns of unvaccinated, ...
It’s hard to find a country that takes COVID more seriously than Australia. Their strict protocols are producing “extraordinary” results (spoiler alert: I’m being sarcastic).
They are super strict about COVID with measures that include:
Density limits at indoor areas of hospitality venues and nightclubs,
Note that these measures vary by what state you are in.
The state-specific medical countermeasures makes total sense as having the virus in NSW is completely different than having the virus in Northern Territory (I’m being sarcastic again…).
Almost everyone is vaccinated. Check out the box on the right for the vax rate in the ACT:
Not vaccinated? Welcome to lockouts!
Check out the restrictions and penalties:
Extraordinarily bad results
The results of these restrictions speak for themselves:
Pfizer advice to the Australian people…
“Keep it up! Do not ask any questions. Do not question the outcomes. Your government knows best.”
How the Australian government spins the results
“See it works! Those numbers would be so much worse if you hadn’t followed our advice!”
They are gaslighting you.
How the people feel about all this
The Governments asked for two weeks to 'flatten the curve' 90 weeks ago.
Melbourne, Victoria then picked up the dubious honor of becoming the most locked down city on the globe. At times the anti-terrorist squad was out on the streets firing rubber bullets and tear gas at people standing on street corners simply saying they had been locked up long enough - the audacity of these people! Tens of thousands of family businesses have been destroyed, family homes lost, and our populations mental health devastated along with our happy go lucky culture. Highly effective early treatment drugs were banned Hydroxychloroquine in April 2020, then Ivermectin in October 2021. With the stated reason that they would discourage Australians from getting the vaccination.
Forced vaccinations are the norm, with few exemptions being granted - even to those who suffered terribly from their first jab!
The Government set their targets: 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%. They were reached just as the target was increased yet again.
90 weeks on and the 'curve' has gone through the roof. All this damage, all for nothing. The salt in the wound is this was all so obviously foreseeable, yet all these fools in government, along with all their medical experts are in shock. And, guess what, more of the same BS is on its way.
Summary
If you are looking to help the virus infect people, few countries on Earth do it better than Australia. They have gone from virtually no COVID cases to a meltdown of cases.
I think it is only a matter of time before the world adopts all of the Australian counter-measures.
I am an American who has been living and working in Australia for the past 18 years. My wife has lost her job due to a refusal to be vaccinated as have many thens of thousands of Australians in many walks of life. For what? For complete control of the people. Amazingly the majority seem to believe everything they are told by their corrupt government and want to lock down forever.
Australians have become mentally unbalanced, spiritually sick, and completely irrational. Especially with Omicron a very small percentage will get any serious illness, but they act as if every other person will die. I pray that people will wake up one day, but I fear that what was once a flourishing democracy will be completely swallowed up in totalitarianism.
G'day again from Melbourne Steve. My perspective… I have a wife and daughter who are now waiting for their PCR test from three days back where they queued up for over six hours. My teenage daughter came back from a trip with some girlfriends where the sister of one of those girlfriends came back one day earlier and tested positive. That has set a chain reaction in place for all the other girls – including my daughter. Three days in though and her symptoms are rapidly improving to the point where she is back giving me as much cheek as she normally does!
I have numerous friends who are also testing positive or coming down with Covid symptoms – and you guessed it, all double jabbed! I'm still not though and will fight to the end not to be with everything I'm reading and seeing around the world now but my world is closing in on me; I know that. I'm living my life normally and not affecting anybody yet if the world's number one tennis player can be locked up in this now Communist dictatorship State, that used to be home to the world's most livable city for years and years, I suspect it's only be a matter of time before the constabulary comes knocking and searching for me. I'm operating in a purely cash basis now and always turn my mobile phone off when out and about to hopefully prevent tracking.
Like previous comments, I also refuse to wear a mask wherever possible and laugh at those people who do when by themselves, out walking, in a car or riding a bike. It's just laughable how quickly people of this country have deteriorated and lost their freaking minds! But that is nothing compared to this smegma state and federal politicians that now run this country.
My final comment though relates to the percentage of people indicated in your comments that are vaccinated in this country – being 98.5%. There is not a chance in the world that that is an accurate figure by the number of people I have marched with in protests during November and December. I suspect the figures are no more than 60% and that the government are blatantly lying to Aussies to give them the impression that only a small minority are left unvaccinated.
