The funny thing is, I wonder what the average 85-90 year old would say if you told them they'd cause inter-generational debt and hardship for their children and grandchildren to reduce their odds of dying in the next few years by 25% ?

the ones who went to war to scarifice themselves for the next generation are all dead.

now we have the entitled boomers who have enjoyed every benefit of post war prosperity and appear unwilling to think of anyone but themselves .

the new breed of elderly

so disrespectful of the suffering of young people.

the level of selfishness from the likes of you is astonishing


from the abc website

Experts are warning suicide rates will continue to rise due to the economic and social impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.

Preliminary modelling by the Brain and Mind Centre suggests the COVID-19 crisis could cause up to 750 extra suicides a year, if the unemployment rate was around 11 per cent.


But in a worst case scenario, where unemployment were to peak at about 16 per cent, that could double to an additional 1500 additional deaths a year.

Mental health support services have also been inundated.

Calls to Lifeline are up by 25 per cent on last year, while Beyond Blue has seen a 40 per cent leap in calls since before the pandemic.

It's an interesting paradox.

In a war it's the young, fit and strong with the most years of life remaining who go out and fight to save the old, weak and frail.

If we approached this as a war it would be the opposite and the front line would be fatties who are at most risk of Covid.

Hence why you people are going down. I hear the Eastern Suburbs in the epicentre.

Where's your wet market?

It's not easy finding good staff these days , particularly if they're dead.

Had a good run of no new cases in Western Australia until this just happened:

A worker at Perth’s Pan Pacific Hotel diagnosed with coronavirus

Not careful enough, it would seem.

Hardly any point having border closures when "exemptions" are allowed.

Why are these returning travellers not being quarantined BEFORE they leave for the return trip to Australia?

And, why was this hotel worker allowed to be in 'close contact' with someone who is supposed to be in quarantine?
