Protests good, Trump rally bad. Make up your mind Marxist thugs.

Leaders must provide ‘real leadership’ instead of COVID-19 hysteria: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones has called on the nation’s leaders to provide some real leadership “instead of fear and hysteria” as an extraordinary alarmist campaign over coronavirus continues. \n\nMr Jones said over the past months the “constant alarmist repetition” has been spruiked over the virus. \n\nHe said while the 106 deaths have been saddening, the ongoing repercussions of the disease have meant “the economy has been crushed”. \n\n“We're frightening the hell out of people over coronavirus which as the Prime Minister said on March 15, for eight out of ten it would be nothing more than a flu,” Mr Jones said. \n\n“We have political leaders who've become followers”. \n\n“chief medical officers whose names have never appeared on a ballot paper are running the country”. \n\n“I think it's time our leaders provided some real leadership instead of fear and hysteria”. \n\nImage: Getty Spot on Alan, the hatred it is generating towards Victorians is alarming Fear is useful if it galvanises appropriate action to save our lives and the economy. If there is covid in your area, wear a mask, wash hands, physical distancing... save lives, save livelihoods. FatherBob AlanJones speaks ... Covidiot MurdochTrashMedia
