Who among the more intelligent is actually surprised by that?
Actual intelligent people know perfectly well that the lemming story is a myth and thus give it no thought whatsoever.

So, "who da foo?!"

It might have been at one time, but the less intelligent have given it new credibility. "U da foo!"

Lots of people complaining right now that NY didn't close down soon enough. They closed down with 100 people dead.



They have just slightly fewer people than Australia.


Ya can't have it both ways, folks. Either NY was right in what they did - or Australia is waaaaay too late.

It's called taking the virus seriously and stopping the spread. If the US had done this in the beginning, the virus wouldn't be out of control here. We had MONTHS to prepare for this but, instead YOUR leader claimed it was a hoax and refused to acknowledge the virus even exists. SMFH

What we're saying is lockdowns are not the way to deal with this. It infringes on people to make a living and live their lives. It should be up to everyone, if you want to hide in your hole, go do you and leave me be.
And this is why we lead the world in deaths.

Are you proud of our death toll, Golden? Does it make you feel all warm and tingly about your freeDUMB because 'Murica is number one? I bet it does. MAGA!

Hell, never leave your home. Just stay indoors 100% of the time, in a mask. Enjoy!
No US politicians shoulD be giving out advice on the virus with our sorry record.

Nothing is opening until we have this virus under control, we did a fraction of what other countries did and stlll we hear complaints.

Australia has had 17,895 cases and 208 deaths. That's it.

  • Curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., residents can leave home for work, medical care and caregiving
  • Exercise outside your home: up to one hour per day.
  • Only one person in your household will be able to go out shopping each day
  • Can only travel within 5 km of your house (that's about 3 miles)

Anyone want to sign up for THIS??????

Freedom is over unless people start waking up.
It's only in Victoria.

I have no opinion.

So our way of dealing with the virus is a winning formula.
