Conspiracy Theory Coronavirus #2: Lockdowns

[burge13]

He said don't get tested because if you are positive they will have a lockdown.

If you only have a cold or show no symptoms why would you be selfish enough to risk the rest of us having to house arrest...

The overwhelming majority of people, especially under 65 will be fine. That's the experts saying this

Absolute campaigners lining up 6 hours with a sniffle for their piece of mind meanwhile it ruins the state on a positive test. Good on them, heroes /s

Should be made to give up their job for those who lost theirs due to lockdown BS

LOL.
You won’t be happy until everyone has been sick with Coronavirus and 1,000s of people are dead.
What you post here is replicated on online forums throughout the world and on Donald Trump’s Twitter feed.

didn't answer the question. Whenever inconsistencies or the consequences of these policies are bought up you lot either just mindlessly quote media slogans or bring up a foreign politician

I know things only go one way for the lockdown crew. Their way. Well until Jobkeeper and Jobseeker stops anyway. (Got a feeling the tune will change then lol)
But if you want to wrongly compare us to America.
Why not Sweeden. No lockdown there. In a cold climate too. Close to other countries.
There was zero difference.
But I know. Sweden is not Australia. But America and Trump is.

I wonder who collects this guys garbage or puts food on his local supermarket's shelf?
Surely those workers shouldn't have to go to work if it's so unsafe, and they could spread the virus so quickly.
Where's the concern for them????
I'm sure he'll be happy to leave all his rubbish in his yard for a while and grow some veggies in the backyard.

Yes because you are very likely to return a false positive. The creator of the ****ing product even says this is so.

If you have a runny nose for example, its not a ****ing sympton so dont go. If you have zero wrong with you, dont go, its not a symptom

Going to get a test, getting a false positive and locking down a entire state is stupid.

And dont say it hasnt happened when it clearly did in South Australia

What's your science background, any?

Unless you are a epidemiologist of a high standing, your ability to look at a beaker is pointless

My background is more from having a immune disease for 10 years of my life and living within that spectrum. I would have been one of the bigger risks from this if it happened to me 10 years ago. If it did happen 10 years ago, id still have the same opinion today. I would not sacrifice others to protect my safety. I didnt then and I wouldnt now. Im not a selfish arseh*le who defines how others live their life you see

It's best to listen to the epidemiologists.They have spent their whole life studying for just this moment.
A lockdown or a mask mandate is a minor inconvience for the common good, not an attack on your liberty.
Trust the experts , we're not experts and there is no conspiracy.

That was because the guy lied about how he got it was it not? Nothing to do with him reporting a false positive.

They shit themselves thinking he caught it from touching a pizza box

None of the 'experts' wondered how money changes hands millions of times with no links to spread. Instead shut down the entire state

Complete incompetence. Anyone who trusts these 'experts' is brainless

Ok. But that wasn't what I said was it?

Just that the lockdown wasn't based on a false positive.

Not sure if your from Melbourne but it was definitely more than a minor inconvenience, as it was for many when the borders were shut this time.
Anyway, do you think there should be a multi faceted approach between epidemiology, economists, mental health experts, and child education/psychology experts?

The experts are not getting a voice. Its the crackpots pretending to be experts are

In any case the experts you think are experts are not really getting things right. The chief NSW epidemiologist said that NSW would have 3200 per day by January 8th. She is only off by 3196.

Melbourne saved the rest of Australia at the time. It was in winter when the virus spreads more easily.
A multi-diciplined approach is best as long as economists don't outweigh the health experts.
Boris Johnson's stay open policies have been a disaster for their economy.

What about South Koreas stay open policy?
Or Hong Kongs?
Or Japans?

The only thing we have in common with UK is we speak English. You couldnt get any more opposite with climate and living conditions. Our best comparison is South Korea with weather and urban sprawl. How do you think we go compared to them? ie. a country you should be comparing us too

That first part, well I'm happy to admit I'm not an epidemiologist so it possibly could of jumped the closed borders??
Infecting the other states with warmer climates.
Or AFL teams could of bought it up to Brisbane? Did that happen? I dunno.
Once again I can assure you that it was more than a minor inconvenience. I don't think saying that is subjective.
Not just the economy (though important) but there is social aspects as well that I know can't be measured accurately with science but are there, and the education of young people which impacts probably could be measured to some degree.

I know it's pretty AF but wouldn't it be nice if we thread banned those who have differing opinions to us like we get on the GD and SRP boards.

If we dont tell them the difference between W.A a state where its 41 degrees and London where its -1 and how that might make a difference to a virus then who will?

But the UK strain is here! We're all doomed!

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

If the heat doesnt make a difference to the organism, then surely I should just put my lamb roast in the oven at 20 degrees? I mean the heat of something wont change the characteristics of it so it shouldnt matter if I have the oven at 20 degrees of 200. It should just cook the same id say

They've just now come up with the idea of testing people before they get onto a plane for Australia. Sheer genius.

Its a bit like a pharmacist giving someone a STD and HIV test each time they buy a packet of condoms really

Not sure about that. I had a relative who's just come out of quarantine in Darwin. She had a test before a few days she boarded the flight in Paris, one when she got here and one before she left quarantine (all negative). Quarantining healthy people, not technically allowed under our laws but they seem to be getting away with it.

Epidemiologists opinions differ but only those that favour lock downs get a hearing form the govt and media. Best to listen to common sense.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Quite. I'm kicking myself for initially supporting measures to 'flatten the curve', which gave the green light for the increasing restrictions and sleepwalking into a zero Covid strategy that followed.

At least you're honest enough to admit you have changed your mind. Most people who supported the govts' policies at the beginning are still hanging onto their lock down position for dear life despite the evidence piling up against it. Although extremely sceptical right from the start, I did support closing borders and quarantine for those who still wanted to return. I don't support either of those policies now.
