A few days ago, I went a little crazy on Twitter. I was calling again and again for the government to release the information it was relying on to make its decisions – medical advice and modelling. I started using a hashtag, #releasethemodelling.This is the type of mildly unhinged online behaviour commentators and journalists are not supposed to engage in. The rule, if you want to be a Serious Person, is show restraint.
In almost any other situation, you might say: we’ll get the information later, then we’ll vote at the election. We’ll deliver our judgment then. But not this time – because the decisions taken now can never be reversed. This is about giving experts – not just those advising government - the best chance to spot mistakes as the crisis unfolds. Mistakes, unchecked, will lead to deaths.
In either situation, the recession will be deep. And will that relatively small extra health impact outweigh the lives lost as the virus spreads? We can’t know for sure, but we have a right to see the government’s workings. If the government has decided to, say, save 100,000 jobs over the long term at the cost of 2,000 lives now, it should tell us. Instead, we are being treated like children.
mrseankelly Given the absence of truth and reality in this bum's life, we should assume there are no reports.
mrseankelly Rope to hang him with you mean.
mrseankelly Get over it mate. Just tune into your social media crap to keep writing crap like this. It’s quite clear from my perspective. Only social media nut jobs keep asking what if what if what if
mrseankelly Dont worry guy's, SMH lefty cuckold rag knows better than everyone
mrseankelly He gave details... he said a JIGSAW PUZZLE SHOP was an essential service.... bwahahaha
mrseankelly I think you need to provide the modelling. Many many academics, researchers and doctors are calling for lockdowns to happen. In NSW we have about 50% of cases and we need to lockdown because this will really drop the infection rate.
mrseankelly Let's face it, he's a bit tarnished. All his daggy dad persona has worn off and in place of that we have SirSmirksALot - his true form.
mrseankelly Just make it up as you always do SMH.
mrseankelly Opinion: This guy is a Labor hack
mrseankelly The folk at Science_Academy have been calling for the release of data for the past week so they can bring their full expertise to this crisis. If our best scientific brains aren’t fully informed and engaged in the decisions and solutions then I how can we trust the govt!
mrseankelly Whose opinion would that be? Yours? I think he’s doing a pretty good job under the circumstances.
mrseankelly We will never trust him
mrseankelly good for details on Jigsaw puzzles but precious little anything else...
mrseankelly there isn't enough details in the world
