Looks like England are getting a Tier 4 aswell which means we both would have the same amount now

8372

Tier 2 doesn’t work, tier 3 won’t work, so the government logically looks to create a tier 4.

The fucking state of things right now :unamused:

Inept Government doing inept things. Who’s surprised.

8375

Nope they sure couldn’t.

Tbf the only ones who seem to have handled this well are South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan and New Zealand.

Three times the population actually haha

Think NZ pop is like 3.5m or something ridiculous

Edit: apologies I was wrong, there’s 5m of them. So double the pop is right.

Yeah New Zealand’s policy would be impractical here considering our close links to the continent, plus it would have wrecked our economy even more than the current measures.

Tbh no European nation has handled the crisis well - France, Spain, Belgium have probably handled it even worse than us. Asian nations seems to have done much better, perhaps due to their willingness to use technology to combat it and previous experience with pandemics.

Should have added Australia for the laugh.

Trump’s COS was on Sunday news shows saying that the government is not going to control the pandemic. These jokers really don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves and prepping for whatever sweet lobbying job they’re going to land in.

WE ARE FREE!

I do feel very privileged that we are now free - when the rest of the world is basically in serious trouble.
80,000 daily cases in the US
30,000 in France
30,000 in UK
20,000 in Italy
1 in Australia

Sadly it’s too little too late for so many businesses, also with the allowances he has given it’s still not viable for lots to open.

Baby steps but I’m hoping for a lot more in a months time.

You have one new case?

We had that in the summer aswell. Makes no difference as it just comes back up eventually.

You just have this halfway house of it being “normal” but with less harsh restrictions.

This is Australia’s second wave.

80% of Australia have had an average of 1-5 cases a week since May (through our winter).

We have the benefit of being able to close our borders with ease, and we’re typically a very ‘yes’ nation compared to Europe and the US. Must be our closeness to Asia that makes this happen.
