NSW  premier Gladys Berejiklian has issued a warning not to travel to Victoria because Victoria, you see, is rotting from the inside, infested with Corona-virus, up to 49 whole  cases a day now, which is about 4 times as much as the daily caseload in NSW !

The question now is, how could this happen? How could Victoria drop the ball so badly, when  it had the harshest lockdown restrictions in the nation , where even single family members could not visit each other for nearly three months, where people were fined for driving in the wrong suburb,  golfing,  fishing  or sitting by themselves on a park bench?

It might be, because our government, run by delusional fools led by a communist style dictator Dan Andrews, really believed the virus could be kept to minimal numbers by enforcing said draconian lockdown, not realizing that they were simply kicking the can down the road and once things opened up, the virus would spread again.

Now even  49 cases a day is not very much when we compare with the numbers from the rest of the world, but they are sure to rise exponentially in the next weeks.

One reason for the “outbreak”  were non-compliance  with  the rules by – wouldn’t you know it,  Muslim families celebrating Eid. Of course it took a full 3 days for this little juicy bit of knowledge to emerge, until then they were simply “families” that flouted the rules. Families? How about a bunch of religious lunatics who are simply unable to exist without their rostered seasonal  observances.

But speaking of lunatics, the ‘Black Lives Matter Most’ movement and their phony grievances –  run by the far far-out  left  -who want to see everything burn, could not wait  to go  their ideologically driven ritual marches and that in a city where the Footy is still the number one religion but  banned until further notice.  Of course they had the blessing of the government to go ahead unfined , mainly because there were simply too many of them and it could have turned into an ugly bloodbath with police, or possibly the army.

Of course other states had those protests too and have not yet seen a rise in cases. To that I can only say : Just you wait, it will take another week  to reach two infection cycles and I will bet my hat that  cases in other states will rise too. Like Italy in Europe and New York in the States, Victoria is simply the first to succumb.

The truth is, respiratory viruses are designed to be transmitted and we are designed to get them. Lockdowns don’t work for several reasons and they destroy economies, but mainly , unless you practically threaten people with being welded into apartments,  people will always find a way to circumvent the restrictions, maybe because they are young and not at risk, maybe because they don’t believe in the existence of the virus or maybe because they understand the risks and still don’t care. You will never ever get 100% compliance and because of that , there will be outbreaks once the lockdown is lifted. And the stricter the lockdown, the more people will rebel against the restrictions.

There is no doubt that the virus is real and deadly to a vast number of old/sick people, but it’s gonna do it’s thing, despite our best efforts.  Even countries (or states) that have had few cases and brought their numbers down to zero will eventually have to open their borders to ward off economic ruin. And then what ??

Coronavirus cannot be controlled. We have to learn to live with it. It’s just a shame the economy had to be ruined for that lesson to be learnt.
