Thanks Dan the super spreader.

The Communist Party CCP not just bullying or threats. They produced the worst & horrible pandemic in human history and killing millions of people🌍 CCP must be accountable and must be taken down!

Make them do it officially - Governments should stop being cautious of legal requirements in Emergencies.

Naivety still plays its role. Self isolation means no isolation.

why not international travellers? Make quarantine breakers pay hefty fines and make it a non bailable offence if you break quarantine. Most people cant even afford to pay for evacuation flights so how can they pay for hotel quarantine? Govt must step up and help not criticise

Righto it’s time for a full containment lockdown strategy for ACT NSW and VIC no one to leave or enter those states at all. No overseas arrivals no movements apart from essential services & goods. Time to get a handle on this it’s just costing life’s now COVID19au Covid19VIC
