DanielAndrewsMP it's a pandemic .. it's a deadly virus .. 'knowingly' you are sick and still go to work to care for the elderly surely you have to take ownership and be more responsible .. people die from this .. this is close to manslaughter ..

It's very simple ... FOLLOW THE DAMN RULES because if this continues, millions of people will continue without jobs. If you see someone without a mask, please invite them to wear it. 👍

The Victorian lockdown 'will not end' unless people stop going to work sick, Premier saysVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews says 'far too many people' are going to work while sick, instead of getting tested and staying home while waiting for a result, labelling it 'the biggest driver' of coronavirus transmission in the state. Yep. It's all the public's fault. Nothing to do with asymptomatic spread and nothing to do with poor hotel quarantine by Andrews and his Labor mates. If they're willing to pay for all bills 🤷‍♀️

Do you have a right to not wear a mask?Can police detain people for breaches of government directions? Do Victorians have legally enforceable civil rights not to wear a mask? Once one crosses a certain level of stupidity I'm all for it being punishable. We are lied to (propaganda) silly nilly People 'There are no rights enshrined in Australian law that will allow you to not wear a mask. Unless you qualify for an exemption, prepare to pay a fine.' And there it is in a nutshell,so wear the damn mask or stay home.
