A lot of people (or should I say the press) have been complaining because we are not protecting the country from dirty foreigners. We are not closing the doors as hard as places like Australia (no – they would never take a racist approach – no no no not our Arian brothers). And even then – look at Australia having to have a local lockdown even with those restrictions.
The area in Australia that has gone in to lockdown is about the same as the UK, but has about a tenth of the population of the UK. Given the number of outbreaks in Victoria recently the answer I get is that the failures in the strict border control in Australia demonstrate that border controls fail way too often even with very limited travel.
One thing that I overheard was a politician telling the people they needed to be so strict otherwise they would be a lot of people getting ill and they would need to vaccinate people.
Boing!
Did I hear that politician right – he seems to be advocating no vaccination in Victoria. Certainly not the Federal Government approach. The anti-vax advocates are getting everywhere.
So I have got wicked again – I have adopted a policy of telling anti-vaxxers that the New World Order is searching for them on Facebook, and if they post their ideas there than they will get tracked. Well, if the Evil New World Order really did exist then it is obviously something they would do…
And that is the problem with all these conspiracy theories – if they were true then the people telling them would already have been disappeared.
So can I commend adopting an approach of cancelling your reality check when dealing with folk like this on the internet. It lowers frustration levels.
