Covid cure found! Jump off a cliff. It works. Muppets

Fine the cops for breaking the social distancing rule. Cops must stay 6 feet away from Australians. VictoriaPolice are spreading the virus of Tyranny

This man walking alone on an empty street put the innocent at risk. He is guilty of the virus with symptoms of cognitive impairment, evident by his inability to follow orders. Sentence - public physician-assisted dying for the greater good.

Brainless. Show him icu

Lock him up
