Sky News host Andrew Bolt says “not next month, not next week” but now is the time for the country to get back to work because “the damage caused by these massive shutdowns” remains to be felt.

| On Tuesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison declared the next challenge for the nation is returning one million Australians to work as National Cabinet zeroes in on creating COVID safe workplaces. Morrison said the focus has turned towards the economic cost of the global pandemic and ensuring workplaces are COVID safe.

"Thousands of Australian lives have been saved, when you at look the experience of how COVID-19 has affected so many countries around the world, but we now need to get one million Australians back to work,” Mr Morrison said. Mr Bolt said the prime minister’s message today has come “weeks too late”. “In fact, one million Australians thrown out of work doesn't even come close to working out the damage caused by these massive shutdowns”.

Real problem is most people can't grasp the depth of the economic situation that our leaders (not the virus) have placed us in, with this unjustifiable lockdown. They are making it clear each day, that they have an agenda in all this. Few people have the common sense of Bolt.

Damned if we do, Damned if we don't. Caught between a rock and a hard place. Let's just flip a coin.

It's Not acceptable for the aged, PWD or compromised to be collateral damage for for the Wealthy and economy. They are Loved family members who's lives are IMPORTANT. There won't be an economy without the healthy of the Community

Fuck me the rich are missing out on making more money. Get back to work plebs

Correct!

United States and Communist China ‘set to face off’ on COVID-19 investigations | Sky News AustraliaTensions are set to become inflamed between Washington and Beijing which simply denotes communist China must “come clean (and) admit the source of the virus” and allow an independent investigation to take place says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has recently produced a scathing assessment of China and its questionable practices in the field of medical research, stating the communist superpower had a history of 'infecting the world' and 'running sub-standard laboratories'.\n\nHe also claimed there was a 'significant amount of evidence' COVID-19 originated from a Chinese lab and not wet markets from Wuhan. \n\n“We need more international pressure on China, and now in the US, the secretary of state has gone a step further than supporting an investigation,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nMr Kenny said China has engaged in “nasty, threatening and over the top reactions to all of this” as calls for an independent investigation into the pandemic continue to amplify. \n\nImage: AP Sky news is repulsive. I really hope you go bankrupt. When start blaming somebody all you are doing is highlighting your own deficiencies. If it was a financial thing thing then we should start suing the US for the GFC. I'm just wonderinghhow would the today's world leaders respond to the pandemic if it happened in Soviet Union under LeonidBrezhnev?
