I'm going to call you out here lols. You've spent the last 2 years criticizing Dan for lockdowns after he followed all the medical advice of the day, and now you're criticizing him for not following it?
There's just no pleasing you
I’ve been out all day as the sun was shining… went to visit my son down the peninsula as he is still recovering from a leg injury from his motor bike…. So we say we will go to the pub for lunch… in Mornington…. On the way we see a police chopper hovering…. Over the rocky area… and a diver is lowered down… I wanted to stay but the lads wanted to go to lunch… sad news is there was a dead young girl on rocks that was retrieved. That’s all I know for now…
Anyway… back to the Dan comment…I did agree last 2 years with mask mandates and distancing rules… and the hand sanitizers!
But the border locks… the inability to drive further than 5 kms… inability to see your family member in hospital…. Etc was the pits!
I had an op booked in private hospital just as lockdown happened… my hubby was at a loss not able to come see me in hospital… and I was alone in the hospital room… which is okay… except for a ghost night nurse that visited and flickered the light … and whispered her name … I asked the nurse in morning if there are any experiences other patients or nurses had…
She said yes she heard storeys some have had experiences.
Now back again to the Dan comment.
You know something…. I was thinking today as we struggled with traffic on the way there to Mornington and back…I had to think of some positives during lockdowns…. how pleasant it was when there was little traffic in roads, how quiet it was… the air fresher…. how little I spent as no shopping except for online…. and… how greatful I was that we lived on acreage.
But I am empathic for the businesses that struggled and closed down… for instance we passed one burger place in Ferntree Gully that used to thrive before lockdown…. Only to be boarded up and graffitied with grass 5 ft tall.
All that restriction may have slown down the virus spread but it didn’t stop it at all.
And neither is the covid vax stopping it.
My son’s mother in law has worked in the funeral industry for 20 years… she said there has been an overwhelming of bodies they can’t take … no room… more than busy… and many other funeral parlours also. Her work place is considering expanding to accomodate more holding of bodies.
So where are we now? 90% people double/triple vaxxed?
Back to Dan…. he was this attention power mad “I’m locking down Melbourne more than anyone else in the world” trick….
So why not enforce mask mandates at least?
What’s going on in his little head?
I’m asking and referring to this because he has shown either way too harsh one way… then way too lax another way.
Inconsistency and hypocrisy.
Oh and… when I try to tell Queenslanders up there how harsh it was for us in Melbourne… there’s a vague look as they had no idea.
To be told is wasn’t so bad for them like that.
here’s a pic I took today of police chopper and diver being lowered. I wonder if a gal was taking a selfie and fell? I’ve seen those things happen on those ambulance shows.
