Oh hell NO!I I appreciate Any efforts to restrict the heedless, stupid, and downright evil from doing More harm! That is the essence of living in a Society, and those who ignore it deserve Nothing.

What in the name of ALL F**k is your problem?
Covid IS a Pandemic, we now face its variant Covid 19 variant D (Delta) and by we I mean exactly WE, you, me, the bloke next door, the child 5 kilometres away, the newborn baby, its mother, EVERYONE ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE INCLUDING YOU as well S.F.B.
In case you've been hiding under your favourite 'blankie' and away from those 'monsters from under your bed' Numbnuts, Covid 19 variant C19-D has hit your hometown already.

Okay my two cents worth. I live in the NT, we have pretty much lived our lives as normal, we had a long time where we could not go out to eat, but could get takeaway. We recently had our first lock down and apart from the moron who needed cancer sticks and had been phoned and told to head straight to the quarantine facility and decided that shopping for them would be okay (he turned out to be positive) it would have been over after two days. When they had contact traced and located those that need to be tested or stay at home or in quarantine longer. We had one week of lock down. No community spread and it is all behind us.
The strong lockdowns stop it from spreading out among the community and let us get back to our lives faster.
Weak lockdowns don't do this ie NSW.

Now when we talk about freedom and bring in those that fought for our freedom they are in my mind two separate things.
The freedom they fought for was the ability to have a democracy not a communistic or fascist government.

When the Spanish flu swept across the world those same men wore masks as did their families, quarantine was also enforced.

I don't know why the concepts of liberty and freedom have somehow become divorced from the philosophy of the social contract -- the understanding that with liberty and freedom comes responsibility to the group, in this case the community in which we live. I suspect this toxic form of liberty is the result of the American influence, where sociopathic individualism is slowly strangling the country to death. Does anyone really think our ancestors who died in wars of freedom would be carrying on like halfwits about staying at home to avoid a plague and wearing a mask when out to avoid catching and spreading it? They had less education, many of them, but more common sense, and a sense of obligation and responsibility to the country. I wish the idiots in America understood this as well.
