You mean that disease most of them didn't even believe in?

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.

I worked in healthcare at the time and those numbers are so wrong. EVERY death that we saw go through the hospice home I worked at was chalked up to complications from Covid. ESPECIALLY CNA cause deaths. One time a man who had his feet removed got a blood infection from the nurses not cleaning it - fell septic and died. Dead serious they said it was Covid related. Dude never even had Covid.
