The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting illness, COVID-19, has caused mass hysteria on a global scale. Perhaps no response is as shocking as what we see in Australia. The country is included in the group of western democracies globally and among the Five Eyes intelligence community members. Yet, the nation’s response to the pandemic can only be described as authoritarian.
A COVID-19 Delta outbreak emerged in Australia in June. The country adopted a “Covid-Zero” strategy early in the pandemic. The government has repeatedly imposed draconian measures, rigorous testing, and closed international borders to eradicate the virus.

They will never "eradicate" this virus. They're nuts.
If they EVER permit travel to the continent, the virus WILL get there. The current vaccines are crap, dangerous in themselves with indication that they may cause serious long term health problems. They don't prevent infection, don't stop spreading or hospitalizations. Some docs think that The Shot causes Antibody Dependent Enhancement which makes people even sicker.
It is beginning to look like the ChiCom virus is going to be an permanent fixture, like all the other chronic diseases. Perhaps one day there will be a safe and effective vaccine, but what we have now sure isn't it.

Fear and panic, panic and fear , except the sane citizens of Australia aren't buying what their government is selling.

It is time for the Scott Morrison government to fall.

They're following the punitive example of those who created and spread it world wide.
If YOU are no longer making any sense--YOU may be a marxist!

No mRNA virus has ever been eradicated in human history. They mutate far too quickly to be fully wiped out.

Australia's efforts have been remarkably effective, reporting only 978 deaths due to COVID through yesterday, compared with 627,843 deaths in the US. New Zealand has done even better, with only 26 deaths.

It is time to recognize that the destruction of representative government is in full swing. Will the totalitarians who wish to crush individual liberty succeed? Only if we let them.

I see our site troll has weighed in endorsing Australia's martial law tactics. Australia's population is 25 million. The U.S. is 309 million. Further, Australia's population density (one of the elements of virus spread) is 3.33 people per square kilometer. By comparison, the U.S. population density is 33.86 people per square kilometer. The death rate for Australia is 0.004%, the death rate for the U.S. is 0.2%. Granted, Australia has a lower death rate, but it also has a much lower population density which reduces the opportunities for a virus to spread. I won't bother with NZ, as I believe I've made my point.

All for what is basically a cold with a 99.6% survival rate.
Too bad they turned in their guns.

But only 50% of Australia has been vaccinated with one clot shot, Karen. So are you saying that the vaccine isn't really that important? 972 deaths out of 25.7 million people is a rounding error. Maybe COVID isn't all that.
Or, the Aussies are simply grossly underreporting for whatever reason.
Meanwhile, the USA, which is much more vaccinated, has a much higher death rate. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

So, over on the Revolver News site, there is a Twitter thread from Australia that shows two policemen rendering a non-compliant Aussie man unconscious with a chokehold. This is done at his home while his wife films them and asks why it is necessary...
Coming soon to a neighborhood near you?

Heads up, Americans. This is a direct result of a government no longer fearing its citizens. Why no fear? Because all the Aussies can do at this point is throw rocks. No guns, no fear. Right Aussie Government?

They are just postponing the inevitable. COVID spreads easily and will never be eradicated.

@#7 - Nobody knows how many in the US succumbed to the Chinese Virus. US numbers are skewed for political/monetary purposes. Many in US hospitals who died last year were said to have died from the Chinese Virus when in fact they died from other causes.

They are keeping people inside - where the virus spreads. They are not allowing people to go outside for more than an hour a day. People are being denied sunshine, fresh air, and exercise. It makes no sense - it is tyranny - soft, choking suffocating tyranny. If one looks at the meta data - lockdowns do nothing. Compare Italy, which locked down drastically and Sweden - which did not - they both follow a similar curve. Generally what lowers mortality is good underlying health. Factors increasing the chances of dying from the virus - obesity, anxiety disorders, lower Vitamin D levels (for a whole year before they got sick) and other chronic pre-existing diseases.

Minor correction to #6.
First, it is an RNA virus, an mRNA vaccine.
The only virus ever "eradicated " is smallpox, and that's questionable, because many labs have samples, plus the genetic code is known, it can be recreated, unfortunately. Plus it's primarily because there is no animal reservoir for smallpox.
Even genetically stable DNA viruses can't be eliminated if there is an animal reservoir, as there is for essentially all viruses.
But we've never been able to make a useful vaccine to ANY coronavirus.
