Medical professionals and scientists, the people that built this society from the ground up.
People who spend their entire life devoted to evidence and science, who study for years to become educated only for random clowns like you to call them liars whenever the evidence doesn't suit whatever delusion you happen to have.

- island/no land borders
- far away from the main international travel/transit routes
- the population centers in AUS are so far away from one another that isolating a hotspot from the rest of the country is feasible, both timing- and logistics-wise
- lucky enough to not have thousands of daily cases of undetected community spread when the severity of the situation was recognized
- Melbourne, Australia's second-largest city which accounts for one fifth of the country's population and GDP, had to spent almost half a year in lockdowns
- Sydney currently is on the brink of requiring another hard lockdown

your delusions about the election aside, my point here is that trump claimed EXACTLY what plaguefear said he did, for which you called him a liar. that makes YOU the liar - not that anyone is surprised.

facts don't care about your feelings btw, and my trumptard tears mug is already full - so you might as well stop crying, liar.

To expand on me picking on Bogie:

He said that Trump pressuring the Georgian Secretary of State, or the House members and Senators disputing the election, is not newsworthy... because *reasons*.

So I'm asking whether today's events are newsworthy.

Let us know Bogie.

Ok, that's a pretty good take.

But how would the police know what drug he was on?

He obviously wasnt going to tell them.

Strong trade deal with china, planes coming in an out every day from china, many chinese australian citizens who returned home.
We recognised the severity immediately, that's the difference, we started social distancing and stop non essential travel immediately.
We had 2 outbreaks in my city, both were dealt with immediately, zero community transmission.
The issues in sydney and melbourne were caused by people lying about where they travelled and not going into 2 week quarantine, they are getting huge fines.
