Just announced a short time ago. Apparently the stay-at-home orders will be in place for a week.

100% agree, and the water cannons would also keep heaps of use post Covid with Extortion rebellion.

Yep agreed I.B.....it's getting really hard to have a reasonable conversation with people now in NZ. Surfing is once again banned and a few guys had a go this afternoon at my local and the local FB noticeboard has blown up again with haters. No one yet world wide has caught covid from the surf but here we are back again with the same old arguments. I surfed through the last lockdown a bit sneakily but not bothering this time cause of the flack. Can't see how it hurts anyone though if you live on the coast

Hard to imagine with 800 cases a day in NSw but this article suggests lockdowns are slowing the spread and the vaccines are starting to show a reduction in rate of hospitalisation, which hopefully means we can live with Covid over time.

I’m no epidemiologist, but it seems we have an issue with the message. This is what I understand:
- current death rate from COVID-19 is around 1%, on average. Lower in Australia.
- death rates have decreased (esp in western counties) as COVID is better understood and treatment is improved
- death rates (generally) reflect the level of health care proportionate to development. (Ie, lower in developed, higher in undeveloped)
- as cases increase, so does the pressure on the health system.
- There is a saturation point at which deaths increase, not only as an overall number but also as a proportion of cases.
- pressure on the health system is not only the number of cases overall, but an increase in cases on the health workforce.
- the aim of the suppression strategy is to minimise the chances of health system overload.
- Bill Gates wants to eat your children
- vaccination reduces but doesn’t prevent you getting COVID, but it does (generally) reduce severity and chance of transmission
-there is a direct technical link between 5G and the tracking software in the vaccinations
- vaccination targets are a reflection of the assessed level that will not stop COVID itself but will be more likely to prevent overload of the health system

I think that’s the general idea, right? Anyone got any points I missed?

Yes he knows that.

"Meaning of extortion in English ... the act of getting something, especially money, by force or threats:"

In this case not money but unrealistic action on climate change issues, they try to force governments by threatening the public with social disobedience and disrupting the public rights to use roads and public areas freely etc

Peaceful protesting is fine with minimal disturbance to public and doing things legally, but once you antagonise people or cause disadvantage to people or cause property damage or break the law you should lose your right to protest and be hit hard by the law.

The real problem here is people will eventually say enough is enough if the authority's wont take these people seriously the public will and other groups will form to combat them and then those groups will be blamed, luckily we are seeing police take these lockdown groups seriously but they dont take some other groups seriously, im sure in time we will see things escalate in Australia like we have in the USA it might take 10 or 20 years or more but it will happen, riots, looting, burning of buildings, groups on the streets fighting back.

We dont want to become the USA.

Just a snap shot of three incidents in USA this week.

Watch the end part, Antifa now targeting Christian groups in parks even with kids present

Not a fan of Anti lockdown protestors, but they really are looking for more enemies

You're on the right track hirsute but I reckon there's more to the anti-lockdown mob than meets the eye. I will sum up the various categories in the mob..
1. Dopey fucking hippies who "don't want poison in their bodies man". Judging from the videos, this group was not well represented at the rallies. They tend not to go in for all that violence. This mob fell for the wellness social media influencer BS at the start of the pandemic. These wellness clowns couldn't write about Bali yoga trips so decided to get into Covid theories to keep a social media audience.
2. Religious nutters. "God will protect me, I don't need a vaccine" types. The pentecostal nutters are very much involved in the anti-lockdown movement. Idiots, under the spell of preachers who are in it for the cash.
3. Fucking nazis. Yes they are using this crisis to gather foot soldiers for the cause. Lots of neo-nazi stickering and pamphleting going on down at the rallies.
4. Grifters and opportunists. Basically, right wing fuckwits trying to make a buck or two out of the idiot mob. Monica Smit and Avi Yemeni knobs. Have a look at how many of the muppets at the rally were live streaming. This lot are basically morons who beg online.
5. General village idiots / Sov citizen types. This mob of complete morons "don't like lockdowns" and are too stupid to realise their behaviour just extends them. They like to yell "no consent" like that means something. Take the worst Karen or man karen, drop their IQ by 40 points, and you get this lot.
6. The puppet masters. Fuckwits like Jeff Kennet, Andrew Bolt, Andrew Bogut, Alan Jones, Sam Newman etc, who make the $$ out of a crisis. Lots of has beens, trying to stay relevant but just making complete arses of themselves. These people are some of the worst cunts on the planet.

I think you re missing one huge group VL and that is Just everyday people that generally dont have any strong political or social leanings.

Ive come across them in my own life be it work, friends, friends of friends or just come across them on social media, just everyday people of all ages, that suddenly have strong views on being vaccinated or lockdowns, you really cant pick them until the topic comes up.

Ive kind of stopped watching Avi's videos during Covid as im not into the whole Anti lockdown, anti vaxer crowd and he is clearly cashing in on it, but hey i cant blame him, there isn't much other rallies or things to cover.

But occasionally i will watch one and even in those videos, im surprised at the people at these rallies, yeah sure some fit into your above categories but many don't, lots of people of different ethnicity's and colours, lots of women too old and young, not just men.

It's like Brutus said its really like the right and left have come together on this one, maybe its the horseshoe effect in action.

One incident meanwhile you ignore literally hundreds of seperate acts of violence and social unrest by BLM and Antifa, in the last 1.5 years ,every single week shit still goes down in the USA, some city like in Portland still have the first floor of public buildings and police headquarters etc bordered up with plywood.

A death count of almost 30 people, thousands injured, 2 billion in property damage (thats just insurance claims), shops lotted, police stations burnt to the ground other public buildings set on fire, an anti police campaign of hate, whole blocks taken over by these groups for weeks on end.

But hey one day at the capitol, where not one protestor killed anyone only person shots was by authorities, nothing was even lite on fire....

I have a friend who has gone down the rabbit hole of conspiracy. Over the last year the downwards spiral has been dramatic. Left his wife and kids for a crystal wearing vegan. Is now convinced covid is nothing but a scam and is more about govt control. Does not work any longer and is on a benefit for anxiety…thinks it’s a great joke and just getting his taxes back now. Went to the Cooly protests today to fight for his/our freedom.

Stok….I hate gun culture. The thought of people on the street carrying guns makes me feel ill. To be honest, even Vic Local’s avatar repulses me. It was OK in the movie but Vic Local comes across as a real life Walter Sobchak. Unpleasant.

But…I’ve got to agree with the sentiment. Whilst I think many of the government’s Covid restrictions have been very useful in containing the spread of the virus, many are just plain politicking. Are you aware that the NSW police now have the power to unilaterally lock down domestic residences if they so wish? They also now have the power to burst into your home and compel ( force) you to submit to a Covid test.

You’re not even safe hiding in your own home if they believe you are guilty of the crime of being sick.

It’s a short stroll to the point where families are forcibly separated as the government keeps stating that intra-home spread is the largest point of contagion.

Add this to the litany of government imposed situations such as someone being arrested for eating a kebab on their own in a park, mothers being unable to cross state borders to save the life of their children and dying relatives prevented from seeing their loved ones as they pass and it’s not too hard to see why US citizens balk out our society’s evolution. Not that theirs is superior…..

Here’s a bloke Vic Local would call a “Right wing nut job” cause he’s questioning the direction our government is taking. Or maybe he’s a Neo Nazi?

There were no guns in the capitol because there’s no open carry in DC, and concealed carry is very heavily restricted. There’s also no reciprocity, so interstate gun owners couldn’t carry into DC. Interstate in a DC context is about 5miles, just over the Potomac. Thank goodness for small mercies.
