NSW strikes again!! Sharing their Covid around to the rest of us 😡😡😡

He will get nsw citizen of year award GladysB wants to ensure we all get the covid

Are truckies being used as Covid couriers?

According to the article he and his co-driver were tested when they got back to NSW. The co-driver tested negative, they had one dose of the vaccine and wore masks. All that time in a truck together and there was no transmission. Obviously the vaccines and masks work.

Imagine a Labor state was spreading the virus like NSW what the headlines would be. The ABC is too scared to call out the libs.

Imagine someone from the UK reading this headline. 😆. Will it ever end.

Best mandate the truckies as well while we are at it !

Each state is its own domain, this kind of thing is actually within the law, you restrict borders to control variables, that's the way world peace should work, but this global free market broke that model, admit it, you botched it, the powerful are morons, plain and simple.
