You know, I live in Adelaide, where we haven't had a single locally-acquired case in several months. I've been wondering how almost every other city on the planet has been screwing things up so badly when we've not really done all that much apart from having a quick reaction and social distancing appropriately.

My question is now answered: those cities have people like you, willing to spout even the most blatantly abject conspiratorial nonsense for the sake of advertising your own website.

Please show some responsibility for the lives of those around you.




As someone living in Melbourne it's been frustrating to see this same nonsense spread locally by a very vocal minority, followed by "lockdowns don't work".

I'm celebrating that following the science here has taken us from > 700 new cases per day, to our second consecutive day of zero (and lockdown ending less than 3 hours from now)
