Coronavirus Outbreak

[Furious1]

The anti-vaxxers will have to say by to overseas travel to places like Europe, America and Canada.

This what makes me angrier than anything else ....

Our own tourism industry is dying a slow and painful death and people just want to go overseas .....visiting family that's fine ...help your own backyard before you help someone elses .....#holidayoz ......

Unfortunately we are not allowed to holiday in certain states in our own country. They won't let us in.

It'll happen .....**maybe the way we have handled in Qld is the better way .**...just an opinion

Yeah maybe. I wasn't really referring to that, more that it's a bit rich to be having a crack at people wanting to go overseas when there is no alternative at home. There's only one person that can save your tourism industry.

Further to that, i think it has been a bit easier to shutdown and stop the spread in Qld for reasons that are best left out of a public forum.

The thing is the freeloaders who refuse to get vaccinated in my opinion are getting off way too lightly. I would also tax them considerably more. I'd add an uinvaccinated levy. Just charge them an extra 1% of their wages due to choosing not to be vaccinated. It's a simple user pays model.

Freeloaders get off too lightly? Arent they simply weighing up the risks and making a decision? The only price they could and should pay is catching COVID and taking their chances.

In your "simple" user pays model......what are they paying for? If it is extra medical bills, you let smokers off? Fat people?

Just for context, Im fully vaxxed and have swollen lymph nodes the size of a tennis ball to prove it.

Its a silly post by Ear but as for smokers, I saw the price guide at Coles the other day. 40+ bucks for a packet?? crazy. So I think smokers are paying for their eventual healthcare, one way or another.

So are drinkers. The cost of alcohol has gone up rapidly in the last 15 years.


I can remember when a schooner of beer went up to 27 cents a glass,it was disgraceful

Yep.... You could have a few small bets, buy a packet of durries and drink middies all sat arvo on $5

. . . . . . and drive around all weekend on $2 worth of petrol, aah . . . . . . those were the days.

Unfortunately, at the time I was living in a shoe box in the middle of the road.

and working 25 hours a day

Gotta love the Python .....WT's are due for a Spanish Inquisition ...

Do you really think your politicians are going to protect us .... Flights are still arriving daily from the infected areas .. bye masks before they run out !

Are there any uncontaminated areas left?

Western Australia?

Yes, but that's because it's 1985 over here.

Make sure you catch Platoon, Top Gun, Crocodile Dundee, Aliens, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and The Golden Child at the movies next year.

Back on topic thanks.

Interesting that Dr Chant has been relegated to an “important constituent in Epping” rather than the Chief Health Officer of NSW that did not agree with the opening up changes, with the Premier pretending otherwise.

Sounds a bit petty / bitchy eh?

Has that been quoted somewhere?
