It's a good thing I bought toilet paper last week.

I don't know how to put videos up but on you tube there's a good song "We didn't start the Virus"
Its a parody of Billy Joel's song "We didn't start the fire"


There's a couple of versions



The second one is pretty good

Actually the original song also applies to COVID-19, the "fire" Billy Joel was referring to is a metaphor and can apply to just about anything - pandemics, racism, climate change, arms buildup, poverty etc etc...

Yes the original song is very thought provoking.

Interesting potential cause of Melbourne's outbreak:

Quote:
Two protesters who attended the Black Lives Matter rally have had their COVID-19 cases linked to the outbreak in Melbourne’s public housing towers.

Health authorities have confirmed the link without saying if the protesters lived, visited or were close contacts of those in the towers, The Australian reports.

The public housing cluster has seen at least 242 cases.

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton previously said it was unlikely the protesters caught the virus at the rally in Melbourne’s CBD which was attended by 10,000 people on June 6.

The link does not necessarily mean the protesters were the original source of the public housing tower outbreak, which is the state’s largest cluster to date.

It is interesting that the potential link exists and the only denial supplied for the link is equivocal.

I notice Credlin and Bolt (like Hanson) are in overdrive blaming migrants for the spike.

Credlin stuffed up by getting poor intel and blamed South Sudanese.

Sky news have forced her to apologise but it looks like the South Sudanese community are going to take her to court for racial vilification (the same charge Andrew Bolt was charged with a few years ago).

Channel 9 have already turfed Hanson for her attacks on housing commission migrants so she's back with Bolt.

Not sure what (other than trying to discredit something that does not meet your "world view") you were trying to do here:
The article referenced above is written by "Shannon Deery and Ian Royall", and takes information from an article in another paper (The Australian), written by "Rachel Baxendale" (https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/coronavirus-black-lives-matter-protest-linked-to-tower-cluster/news-story/197ffe79f3e0044be2ee1495c5708364 (paywalled)).

Being that none of the people who you mentioned were related to the writing of the article, could you clarify how what they are saying discounts the potential\implied link between the BLM protest and the outbreak in Melbourne?

The corona theories on where the spike emanated in Melbourne has been rightly pointed out to be from an Islamic school, Cedar meats and from housing commission flats. There is some truth that muslim families have been flouting social distancing rules.

However Hanson and Credlin went overboard claiming things that were not true, and have paid the price.
