Question: Who do you think is better at judging the risk of COVID-19 - the government, or individuals?

(I don't know the right answer, I'm just curious as to what others think.)

experts on social media who have read a lot of stuff

I dont trust the judgment of any individual ever in the social media era

 

[Swansujelly]

At work, and the obnoxious dickheads are back out and about, come back lockdown, I miss you already.

 

[Angry Red Bull]

I bet they considered it

She was asked in presser why they weren’t immediately following Scomo. answer: the nsw parliament has a no regret policy. Ie they won’t take risks they may later regret

Yeah LPno1 and co said a day ago, doesnt change anything i said given she attended a national cabinet meeting and helped shaped the framework out

if her team didnt consider it all week or discuss with public officals its not believeable

They are in an invidious situation. Hurt to the community whichever way they choose and judging by the passionate divide in opinion on here .....a lot of pressure from lobby groups in each camp

I don’t necessarily think govt know better blindly but they do have the best minds on the medical front informing them each step and so far have done a wonderful job. Part of my reluctance resisting the lets get back to normal mantra is I simply don’t like putting my life in someone else’s hands because I don’t trust anyone’s judgement but my own. But I live in society and society via government must rule. That’s how society functions.

We have had a cohesive response from all elements of government and without party politics. That has been a massive influence. Contrast it with USA where trump is more focused on his election, total lack of cohesion between states and White House, continuing party politics and the result is a disaster.

The national cabinet is a toothless tiger though. It’s established to facilitate debate disseminate information and coordinate choices. It has no legal function. They can’t insist upon anything. The states have already chosen different path to scomo on schools and I don’t think either nsw or Vic will feel obliged to follow. Both are in different position to other states who have all but eradicated. Both are heading that path too and should imo delay easing for 3 weeks to let that play out. if the entire nation can achieve eradication then we can unleash without fear. That would then follow being the best economically too imo.

What a bunch of self entitled sooks those protesters are. Ignorant, selfish, I could go on. That woman going on about 5G towers made me walk out of the meal room.

The level of crazy is much scarier than I ever imagined

Its always been at this level of crazy, the internet age is just making it more obvious.

I've had to yell at idiots every single time I've left the house. to stay away from me.

My only solace, is that they will get covid, and hopefully die in the most painful way possible.

Mouth breathers, the lot of them

Maybe you should invest in one of those drones that the Singapore government is using to remind people to practice social distancing?

I yell at people and think up the reason later

 

[Angry Red Bull]

All the crazies coming out to protest and not surprisingly they live in Melbourne lol 10 arrests.

Inoculate them with covid 19. lol

Group spray them with capsicum spray. Water canon. And then batons.

 

[scaryness]

I'll be living the stage 3 quarantine life for another month at least until we have data on case numbers with restrictions lifted.

I dont trust anyone to be sensible these days

Same. Just means my nieces can come over without my brother having to worry about getting picked up by the cops

 

[The King!]

Yeah we are the most restricted now vic moved ahead

I’ll still work from home

And takeaway coffee, might run through a national park would be only difference and more drives though do that anyway

Can’t do run groups yet anyway but will when I can as I know the people

 

[Angry Red Bull]

I’ve been working from home and will continue to do so. I think there is a real risk that lockdown fatigue will drive people to cut loose recklessly. 1 more case overnight in NSW. We are soooo close to eradication I can taste it.

 

[scaryness]

Seeing the comparison between lockdowns being eased and not finishing a course of antibiotics because you already feel better
