Looking like Australia is about to go over the tipping point. They’ve done so well for so long, but it still finds a way.

    Old-Dutch Exactly, you cannot suppress a virus like covid forever, they have to open up eventually, and when they do, it will come in.

    I think Aus is full of anti-vax thickets big style as well, so its going to be a bumpy ride for them

      Hursty I think Aus is full of anti-vax thickets big style as well

      Australia is just essentially the same as the UK and the US in many ways.

      A highly neo-liberal Anglo state with a poor compulsory education system, unless you happen to live in a nice suburb of a town/city.

      That breeds a marginalised faction of multi-generational thicket families.

        Having spent lots of time in Stralia I can safely say it is 20 years behind the rest of the world.

        It is very backwards, perfect for people like Strumsy.

        Lol, RIP Derm / Phil Opian.

          Australia has vaccinated just 11 % of the population. That is an immense fuck up, and can’t be all down to antivaxers.

            Homegrove The government strategy on dealing with Covid is a huge part, thinking they could just lock the borders and suppress it forever

              Smallman1 I’m amazed him/her/they/she/that never came back to be honest. Very fishy

              Hursty Australia really did an elaborate version of duck and hide. Not having vaccines be a big part of the strategy was just idiotic. Suppressing is a great solution before vaccines are ready though. Just look at New Zealand. I’m amazed how little their economy took a hit considering how much it’s based on tourism.

              Restricting AZ to only over 60s when it is your primary vaccine is a monumental fuck up. The population at large will have zero antibodies to COVID. Had they have used the time they bought getting people vaccinated, they could have been one of the success stories of all of this.

              Smallman1 AZ have single handedly saved the world.

              It also supercharges your bants, which is something Pfizer, Moderna and J&J haven’t yet been able to add to their formula.

              For what Moderna does to your bants you only have to look at Zackster.

              Hasn’t got a lol in 18 months.

                He could feasibly go through the next 40 years of his life and not get another lol.

                I don’t think 4 hours goes by without me getting one.

                I really admire the way in which Dave has tried to return to the bosom of the board, after his uuuh hiatus.
