THE LOCKDOWNS have cause more harm than good.

No, they have not. They have saved thousands of lives which is why the death toll is so low. 

TOP Epidemiologists around the World say "LOCKDOWNS DO NOT WORK"

The worlds top medicos have agreed that lock downs inhibit the spread of covid. Your information is false.

Melbourne had a upward spiralling covid infections and death rate. The lock down has reversed that so that numbers are reduced to a manageable level. That is a FACT.

Correction: SOME of the top medicos have agree that lockdowns inhibit the spread of COVID-19, but this opinion is not even close to unanimous.

The biggest failure among many by Andrews' lot has been to fail to secure aged-care facilities, where 644 deaths have occurred out of 1,987 cases - around 97% of Australia's COVID-attributed deaths in nursing homes.

Instead of learning the harsh lessons from Sweden, New York and the UK, Andrews and co doubled down on the authoritarianism while failing to take measures to protect people in aged care facilities, which has led to most of Victoria's COVID-attributed deaths.

Australia has so far reported 895 deaths and just over 27,100 COVID-19 cases

On per capita basis that works out to 3.6.

Nothing in this world is unanimous. All the "credible" doctors and experts agree. Only those doctors who are fringe doctors paid to take a false position say otherwise. This disease is spread from person to person so clearly if people do not have personal physical interaction, maintain good hygiene, wear appropriate medical grade masks then spreading covid is severely curtailed. Anyone saying otherwise is basically an idiot who does not understand how and why spreading happens.

Still people attempt to say otherwise. They have a poor grasp on biology and were failed by their education system. The byproduct of the current precautions against covid have seen an unprecedented flu season in Melbourne with less case numbers reported than covid. This shows that sick people (with cold or flu) should NEVER go to work until they are better. That is what sick leave is for and placing others in danger of getting sick for your financial gain ( you used your sick days for shopping or other unrelated reasons) should be against the law. Too many selfish people who were raised poorly in this world, thinking only of themselves.

Tired of the same arguments with unenlightened people.

Tired of the same arguments with unenlightened people.

Tired of arguments with apologists for authoritarians. The idiots here were the Victorian government and top bureaucrats who fudged the hotel quarantine system (you have heard of the Coate inquiry, right?) and then failed to secure the aged-care facilities. There was no need for the lockdown, certainly not on the scale of what Melbourne in particular has had to endure.

Peter14, there must be a lot of "fringe" doctors, medical scientists and other medical professionals.

Australia has 450 Deaths per day Every day yet they have NEVER been mentioned. NOT from the CORONA but Cancer-Flu Deaths Pneumonia etc. Since January Mostly elderly have died with Multiple Underlying health Problems, the 1st being Old age,Labeled COVID, NO Autopsy nothing.

27,100 Should NOT be there or anywhere else. They have recovered. OK. TV Channels/Media are pushing 2nd and 3rd Waves especially in Leftist States and Countries. These Dear Leaders want to keep the

Lockdowns Going. Most if not all People in the Positive "CASES" had at most Colds and some that had Flu like Symptoms.

And that story is repeated around the World.

In Melbourne/Victoria the leader is a Fascist Tyrant that has No respect for the People. A Madman who has ALL of the 700 + DEATHS on his Hands. He repeatedly Lied over the handling. He Caused their deaths by his Incompetency yet still has not stood down or been removed/sacked by the Governor General.

He has been threatening the people since back in March where he said "Follow the rules because

you don't know what we are capable of."...NOT 1 Journalist asked: Sir how can you talk like that? It continues to this day where 2 days ago he said we may even cancel BEACHES.Its Spring and Summer on the way.

THE LOCKDOWNS have cause more harm than good. You have been a Prisoner NOT ALLOWED to leave your home and MUST stay in 23 Hours a day, now down to 22. Only for some exercise and shopping.

You cannot go more that 5kms from your home. etc. Police Brutally arresting Pregnant Women in Homes,Beaches,Parks. .The MESSAGE is CLEAR, we will be much worse on others.

Most Businesses shut down....The People are virtually being Tortured by "RULES" that have NO Science

behind them. TOP Epidemiologists around the World say "LOCKDOWNS DO NOT WORK".

Looks like there is a Much Bigger agenda at play especially with "Premier Dan Andrews" Selling off

the State to Communist China".....I dont read any replies or dont care about thumbs up. THAT is the Truth.

If you keep testing and the Tests, the PCR test is 90% Inaccurate with False Positives it will never get

better unless the Figures are cooked to look good. SEE do as we say its working. ZERO respect for the people.
