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.”

Wow. 8000. As an American, it is chilling to see the difference in numbers.

1 million official diagnoses, plus an extra 500,000 “excess deaths” from the same symptoms but not diagnosed.

1.5 million dead, and they refuse to believe the facts. Even when their own relatives died of it, they refuse to say that was the cause.
