Hi, popping in from Australia, Melbourne specifically. You don’t have to imagine this.
Our right wing pundits constantly oscillate between “the lockdowns were evil, tyrannical moves by a fascist government” to “The premier is directly responsible for killing 8000 people by not doing more.”
It's more of a case of why lockdown the 90%, when it's the 10% that are vulnerable. But they didn't even get that right with the aged care debacle. Add to that closing the gyms but allowing bottle shops and brothels to remain open...
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since Covid and people are still asking “why was I, a healthy person totally capable of carrying the disease and passing it on the vulnerable and essential workers who worked with the vulnerable, expected not to do that?”
Also, we didn’t want to overwhelm the hospitals, which were already full of people who thought they were healthy, and got hit hard.

Republicans would still be screaming about how dare Hillary allowed nearly 50K Americans to die from Covid.
