I think it was just a bit of fun. The Gimp was looking for someone to take the bait and they did.

Harsh. Maybe the Gimp isn’t that smart, who knows re?

Step 2 will see more people return to work, particularly construction.

Step 2 is currently much further away than one week.

 

[jmac70]

9 of the 14 cases today came from the Hallam families. Take them out of it and we are down to 5.

Exciting times!

Sep 28 isn’t it?

Precisely.. so it means going to the beach.. and getting f’ed by hail to the fatsa.

Good stuff.

I'm not sure what I've derived from our convo, but I do have some fine memories of beaches in stormy weather which make it feel worthwhile.

You're a f****** legend, no doubt about it.

No disagreement from me. Comes to something when developing countries can come up with technology that is far more effective than anything we can produce. However it does help when virtually everyone uses an app as opposed to here where only 6 million people did so. Too many people, perhaps you included, foolishly believed the app was going to be used against them in other ways and refused to download it. I think it should have been made compulsory as with the use of masks.

I think the major problem was that it didn’t actually work.

Is it? I get confused between the steps and stages. I do know that the next step does not alter the curfew or 5 km limit, which is nonsensical given the current figures.

Do you expect me to defend it? I am not at all surprised that developing countries considered inferior to Australia are capable of technologically superior measures to contain the virus.

So are you.. a wealth of experience no doubt under your belt.. and looking straining reaching out.. for that elusive right word to write.. and like a flash.. the meaning is gone.

Airlines warn flying back 100,000 stranded Australians will take six months unless travel caps eased

Airlines say they have been forced to prioritise customers who pay more for tickets, with one flight carrying as few as four economy passengers

www.theguardian.com

If you read down it says 'passengers capped at about 30'

I wish I was stranded. Nor would I be paying $38000 or even $380 to get back here. I'd revel in my freedom.

Ask a simple question. You get 'not set in stone and 'going to the pub' for answers.

2 of our finest.

I mean, if you don't want to be particular about why 'Covid normal' is such a problem for you, I can't wring it out of you.

All good, mate. I'm easygoing.

I reckon I'd put that in Tinder, if that was my thing. 'Easygoing'. That'd spark some interest, hey.

 

[jmac70]

Lots of criticism but not much in the way of alternatives. Deep down we know we must stay the course. Covid normal is within our grasp.

Is it worth going through it one point at a time.. with you?

You're pretty awesone.. but nah.

I have given you my opinion. You chose to ignore it. Stay what course? 14 cases, 9 from one family. It's just about over. You don't expect to continue enforcing a curfew and 5 km radius for 5 weeks with those low figures. Get back to work and get the state up and going again.

Andrews is a very polarising figure. The harder people attack him the more his defenders dig in, as we've seen here today. Friendships have been fractured. I think social media amplifies it and it's certainly not helping us get along here.

We've made some huge sacrifices to get the numbers down; most Victorians have and continue to do the right thing. After months of stage 3 and 4 restrictions we're now looking for light at the end of the tunnel. Let's hope we will be lucky enough to keep the numbers down until a vaccine comes out. Not sure how much to trust the Vic 3000+ strong contact tracing team; here's hoping.

I'd like to see some consistency in the enforcement of fines. The people in Hallam breached rules that I've followed for months. Fine them, this might deter others. I can't understand creating exceptions, even for contact tracing. It's a double standard, simple.

I'd also like to see someone stand up and take responsibility for the quarantine debacle that has stolen 3 months of our lives. I would respect that. The inquiry has been a load of bollocks. A bunch of bureaucrats passing the buck.

Love Stone Cold. I corrected it, too many beers

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

It HAS worked So let's end it.

No big footy friendships fractured from my perspective. I love the great Grundy and his magpies. I also live the Gimp and Magpie Girl. We are a Collingwood family. Often fighting but united in one common purpose.

Almost mate, a little longer.

Andrews is a very polarising figure.

From afar, he's got to go down as the most unlikely polarising figure in the history of polarising figures.
