Like the protests, the illegal raves, the crowded beaches, etc etc? And yet the numbers keep on going down.
Wait what?

Haha, no, I’ll see how it goes for nowQuestion for @Sparky Rhiwabon
Maybe I’m getting mixed up with @Sparky_Hughes
did you get your pub pint yet? All the way through lockdown I could feel your desperation to get to the pub
Slightly off topic but this whole thread has been such an interesting study of confirmation bias from pretty much every regular poster and I’m certain it I looked back at my own posts I’d see the same.
It seems that that the same posters on all sides of the argument continually keep a steady supply of articles backing up their narrative while also predicting how certain events are going to unfold and how those events are going to be (incorrectly) perceived as a sort of insurance policy to protect their narrative. It’s genuinely fascinating to read.
This is the most superbly and hilariously accurate post I have read on here. It is so true! I am sure that I'm also guilty of it.
I've given up making definitive statements now of any kind on what is still a novel virus. Yet people (of all types of opinion) still continue to do so.
In my opinion the problem with shops and mask isn't for customers but people working all day long in these shops, it is for them that we wear them. Customers don't really have major risk of contracting a respiratory disease while spending minutes in a shop while moving around, shopkeepers on the other end multiply interactions and are stuck in a closed space.
I was just drunk and talking nonsense as per usual. My mate and I always said that if shit were to hit the fan — I’d get buddied up with him since he lives in what looks like a compound in a middle of a field. It was always said jokingly but with 2020 I’m not even sure anymore.What does that involve?
Not me mate, cant remeber the last time I went to the pub.Question for @Sparky Rhiwabon

I think our countries are a bit similar. Education has wrong focus so we produce a lot of morons, unfortunately.
Are you sure you are not Serbian, this sounds too familiar?
On second thought, you aren't, here the percentage of those who will never be vaccinated is more than 67%.
Bad jokes aside, given the stance of our peoples on this , I guess we should just get on with it and all contract the virus, as we will not be getting herd immunity from a vaccine.

Big difference between zero and “close” though.
With next to no tourists from overseas, freedom of movement within Australia must be really important right now, to keep the economy even vaguely functional.
Seems a bit over-ambitious to get/keep the whole country at zero if you’ve ongoing outbreaks in NSW and Victoria (two most populous states, right?)
Can they still stuff delivered off Amazon etc?
Yeah, that’s been encouraging. Outdoor mingling seems to be pretty harmless. The main good news plot twist so far.
What’s the deal with the public housing tower blocks lockdown? Is that going back to the Eid celebrations a while ago?
This can't be good if testing proves it to be true (which seems likely). More infectious but no more harmful as might be predicted as selection will benefit more infectious strains but not more harmful strains.

There's some good commentary on that study in the preprint here:

Essentially, the conclusions are "lets not get ahead of ourselves".
Well whatever the actual cause hopefully they get control of it.Possibly related. It looks like it started with quarantine staff not complying with infection strategies (allegedly sleeping with people in quarantine - presumably without at least one form of protection ) and then doing things like car sharing with other staff on the way to work plus other breeches of protocols. The rumors are also that 2 large interrelated family clusters of infection resulted from big Eid celebrations (far bigger than allowed at the time) and these have spread including into the tower blocks. I'm assuming that winter, the cramped conditions in the blocks and that many of the residents don't have English as a first language, so haven't been as well informed about preventing infection, have been contributing factors. It is assumed that there are connections between these clusters as the government said they thought most of the infections came from a single individual originally.
Some right wing idiot tried to blame it on Somalians which the government denied but you get the impression the government of Victoria might be trying to avoid ethnic/religious scapegoating i.e. there may be come truth in the rumors. All we need is more idiocy so hopefully it will all turn out to be rubbish.
Shit getting real in Texas.
Texas hospital.
Similar results from Spain as previously from China that antibodies decrease a bit in 2-3 months. 14% of people who previously tested positive, tested negative 2 months later. Especially the people who had no symptoms.
