I think the msg is that people these days are softer and expect comfort and a freedom regardless of the 'reality'. We as a generation have never experienced this but if everybody done the right 'thing', we can get past it. Inconsiderate ar*eholes that think they're right regardless of science is short sighted. You can stay inside with your TV, internet, mob phone, food as you need, exercise is quite doable...and still they complain. The infrastructure of the country was built by immigrants, todays 'australians' could never do what's been done in the past Last edited by Mr_G6ET; 22-08-2020 at 05:39 PM. Reason: poor grammar |

I'm guessing a large percentage of people arguing about having to stay inside due to lockdown used to stay inside a lot prior to covid and will stay inside a lot after covid. The difference is somebody (authority) told them to do it.

But she's weak and didn't suffer World War 2 as Russell stated, so she is so soft as a person. |

Not a big deal, hell I'm still working as normal nothing has even changed there it's still business as usual.

![]() The game has changed, respect is earned, you need to put in the work to get it, not just wake up every morning and stay breathing for a couple more decades and demand people 'respect' you and go around trying to dictate to those around you that your opinion is right and everyone else's is wrong just because you were born earlier. The difference is you're living in a world that's increasingly getting more alien to older generation X and baby boomers, they have this ridiculous concept that they think they deserve respect just because they've been around for longer and that their way of life is going to continue. I've got love and respect for Nonna, she's 4'10" and tough as a $2 steak, its not just because she's older than me, its because she's put in the work. Do I respect Daniel Andrews position with Victoria? Not from the lockdown perspective, but I was one of the volunteers who helped get him elected years ago.

Been on the phone with a farmer client. These guys are normally a happy go lucky family with 10 kids, his wife is a nurse in charge at one of the local hospitals. When covid happened they coped well but since this border closure, school closures and second round he tells me his wife spiraled down into such a deep depression and tried to take her own life. She has been in hospital on watch since. He is visiting her everyday day there with a couple of their older kids. He tells me he has been battling the border closure as they have a second farm in NW NSW which he needs to attend to in between running the local farm. he also tells me 7 out of the 11 beds in that psych ward are farmers wives. I know these 3rd generation farmers well and are a pretty tuff close extended family but this is really starting to break them.

But this is Australia and more specifically Victoria, we don't do self responsibility just draconian legislation backed by a police force that's the Government's secondary form of revenue. |

However, if you read what I actually said rather than taking umbrage at what you thought I said, you'll note that the examples I used relate to people feeling hard done by because they couldn't live their normal privileged lives. ... oh and let's not get too hung up on WW2. There are people all over the world living daily (sometimes for years) with war, hunger, abuse, wrongful imprisonment etc. etc. who would consider a few weeks of lock-down to be "sheer luxury" (to quote Monty Python's Yorkshiremen) while portions of our society are bleating endlessly about the Government taking their freedom or choosing to ignore the rules put in place for the safety of everyone. I'm going to reopen this thread but if it continues in the vein it has been then it one of two things will happen: (1) it will be closed permanently and the only updates will be the statistical ones or (2) the offenders will be removed from the Bar completely.

What I'm interested in is the context of these new infections in VIC - we're talking increases of hundreds of new cases per day in the harshest restrictions in the country. What is the context behind the numbers, what industry do these people work in, what were their movements that lead to this? Oh and has the covidsafe app started working yet?

195 new cases for Australia and 13 deaths sees the CMR rise to 1.971% although active cases dropped to 5,358. NSW and Queensland both recorded 9 cases with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian weekly total of 1,600 cases is a further 34% drop on last week but the 106 deaths is 5 more than last week.
6 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.317% and active cases rise to 111. The UK had 1,288 new cases and (supposedly) 18 deaths yesterday for a CMR of 12.761% although we know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines. Just over 50k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,170 deaths sees CMR fall to 3.091% and active cases remain at 43.0% with the raw numbers rising again. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: The USA completes 75M, India 34M, Brazil 14M, Canada 5M and Iran 3M tests; India passes 3M cases; Tunisia (131), South Korea (332), Paraguay (719), Poland (903),Ukraine (2,328) and India (70,068) recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

The deaths include one woman and one man in their 60s, three men in their 70s, four women and six men in their 80s and two men in their 90s. Eleven of the 17 are linked to aged care outbreaks. There are 585 Victorians in hospital including 32 people in intensive care and 21 of those in ICU are on ventilators. The number of mystery cases has increased by 82 and active cases in healthcare workers had dropped to 536. |
