Anti-lockdown prostests in Melbourne

I read that Sydney has even harsher lockdowns than Melbourne at this point.

I'm in Victoria, I haven't had a friend visit since 2019

Well, I'm in the Melbourne metropolitan area and have had friends and family visit from time to time through last year and this year - Even managed to head back "home" to visit family in the country late last year.

It's interesting that you haven't managed to have friends over in all that time...

The news about variants gets worse and worse

A a second pandemic so soon after this current one will result in riots should the government start all over again with lockdowns.

If "Covid 22" does strike, I for one wouldn't be listening to any lockdown advice.

The choice is economic strangulation and stir crazy or Russian roulette....take your pick

No Cyber, I don't think they will end, even if Victoria reaches 80%

They've been going to end, just around the corner, for over a year now.

14 days to flatten the curve.
Just a month until we can get hospitals ready for the influx!! !
Just until we can suppress it in age care.
Just until we can roll out mitigation measures in stores and public transport!! !

Look, we're beating it, we have to continue until we have zero covid, we have an opportunity to
beat this, but we only get one shot at this.

Ok Two shots(lockdown 2.0) (three shots, four shots etc)

Oh look the vaccines are so close, we need more lockdown.
Once we have QR codes, we'll be able to trace better and lockdown can end.
Once the vaccines arrive we can stop lockdown.
Once the age care homes are vaccinated we can stop lockdown.
Once everone over 80 has been vaccinated THEN we can stop lockdown.
Just two more weeks, so we can get everyone over 70 vaccinated.
Everyone over 60!! !
Everyone over 50!! !

Oh hey, an entire state of almost 7 million people has been under 22 to 23 hours a day house arrest for almost two years. Strung along with endless lies and false promises.

But don't worry once 80% of the population is vaccinated, then the government will let you out of lockdown.
They lied the other 20 odd times, but surely not 21 times!! ! ! !

Do you actually sincerely believe them or do you believe parroting the premiers lies is patriotic or something?

The federal finance minister, Simon Birmingham, has acknowledged that targeted lockdowns could still happen once 70% to 80% of adults are vaccinated.

Study: Fully vaccinated people with "breakthrough" COVID Delta infections carry as much virus as the unvaccinated

Totally agree ^
What has always interested me during this pandemic is the media reporting people are ‘out in the community whilst sick’. Figured they mustn’t be very sick at all if they’re out and about.

People are blinded by fear and stupidity. The only real reason all these lockdowns persist is because the government is covering their ass and their flailing health care system. My mum is a high up operations manager within the health care system in WA and she said they can’t even find ICU nurses to look after regular sick patients, let alone those that might arrive in ICU with COVID and other co-morbidities. *shrug*

It would be interesting to know what number of cases we would be seeing if they reported the number hospitalized alongside the "number of cases" in the media - And/or if they weren't pushing people into get tested so regularly and relied on only those symptomatic people, as well as those who had particular reason to believe they needed testing (close contact, for example) to be tested, rather than frightening entire suburbs to be tested regardless of whether those living there believed they required a test or not.
