This is also lovely:
So the right thing to do is fine your citizens ~$4000 for behavior you deem to be deadly, although your citizens can still do the fucking arithmetic necessary to see that this is bullshit? I can't think of a better way to dig a hole you can't get out of. And so much for the "consent of the governed" bullshit. It seems as though this should be some kind of turning point for Victoria.
Meanwhile, here in the Great State of Texas the propaganda machine churns out their daily gibberish:
Doctors warn people without fevers may still have COVID-19 – Nexstar Media Wire
Let me explain: Just because you're not sick doesn't actually mean that your not sick, because this disease is so deadly that
it can kill you without your actually being sick. You may not have a fever, or a cough, or anything that would indicate to you that you're sick, or even have been sick, because the disease is so deadly that it doesn't always make you sick -- sometimes you just die without being sick, and we all know people this has happened to. So the best thing to do is to just trust us to tell you if you're actually sick or not. In the meantime, wear your mask. Because we said so.
And this is all taking place against the backdrop of hysteria manufactured by the continued reliance on an absolutely meaningless statistic that nobody has the courage or sense to question.
