Our numbers are probably about 25% of what they were 2 months ago and going down, another month and who knows, France and Portugal seem happy now, only us putting quarentine on people returning stopping things with them.
What about the 8% of your population who work in Tourism. You won't be able to come see the Ashes in London
To put this into context and not to make it into yours is smaller than mine type of argument we have a third of your population and in the last 3 days you have had more than 3x the total coronavirus deaths in Australia. People say we live in a large country with a small population but most live near or in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane Perth, Adelaide, Hobart or Darwin oh and a few in Canberra. I'm glad your numbers are going down but we haven't had a coronavirus death in quite a while and new infections have been below 50 a day for quite some time with little or no community transmission.
8% of the population working in tourism and 100% of the population going on holiday in the the lucky land. Could be ok I think.
Yes but if they don't ever get a vaccine, and the world gets a slow heard immunity, what do you do. People will get fed up locked into Australia in time. One of the most popular things in Australia, is getting out of Australia.
Now Jonny, the first thing I said in my original comment was in no way shape or form did I condone his killing. The point that I was trying to make was that he wasn't this angel martyr that people are making him out to be and although he didn't deserve his death, IMO he contributed to it. I will also say that the violent protests and looting and yes shooting and killing a BLACK OAP is disgraceful and his death has been hijacked and is being used as an excuse to commit these crimes.
Saying over here, talking of scrapping Minneapolis police, how do you see that going, are you going back to the wild west.
Basically the black community want to be able to rob, loot, vandalize, rape, shoot with impunity and get their dole cheques doubled.
I heard that report but did not hear the details. Perhaps the thought is to just have a larger sheriff department to do all the law enforcement there? I can explain the concept “defund the police” by the way. in many jurisdictions, police departments get funds for community programs beyond traditional policing budgets. This call is to give those funds, e.g., for school education about the dangers of drug use, to other departments, say social services to carry out those programs. Does not have an impact on the funds for traditional policing, e.g., cops on the beat.
The Minneapolis City Council has pledged to dismantle its police department, opting instead for an as yet undefined "new system of public safety." The move comes in the wake of George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis police custody last month, prompting a growing movement to cut police funding or to disband departments entirely.
Just get rid of the police force altogether or when a black lad is causing **** just send out black cops, white cops for white criminals etc etc
