Why? Because I'm aware of my limitations and would have known I probably would have put the drive into the lake.

The restrictions are way over the top.

I disagree.

People are just to big a bunch of whingers.

My preferred adjective would be TNUCs.

I went shopping yesterday & there are still way too many morons not observing social distancing & getting too close.

The restrictions won't seem so OTT if you catch it & you take a turn for the worse.

I am referring to the restrictions on bush walking, driving, national parks, camping, and reserves. While you can mingle with thousands in shopping centres, you can't go camping or driving in solitude. Ridiculous.

Agree and realistically is it that hard to just follow the restrictions?

They're not hard, but some are utterly ridiculous.

whats utterly rediculous is the state premiers becoming obsessed with getting the number to zero and supposedly keeping it there.

its meaningless.

the virus is in every country.

it will be reappearing again and again and again.

so frigging what if you have no cases for a month.

as soon as you put 60 people on a bus and 1000 on a train , boom, its back again.

what did you achieve?
what sustainable benefit?

Those restrictions have already been lifted.

They were only ever temporary.

Getting it to zero looks possible to me. If you have no cases for a month, and no foreigners entering, you've probably wiped it out internally and can go back to licking bus seats.

No they haven't. We are still limited in how far we can drive.
