If those households had real concerns then they would've chosen to stay home. The infection control only works when everyone stays home, and you can't enforce that, it's not realistic or even possible to do so. Even with threats of imprisonment or a firing squad for offenders it's still going to spread because you can't legislate your way into compliance.
I'm sorry mate but we did enforce it and it largely worked. It bought us time and we were over 90% vaccinated here.

COVID-19 vaccination in Australia - Wikipedia

^^^ Read that and weep.
 
I do. It wasn't the sunbaking that was the problem. it was avoiding contact with people and thereby spreading the virus. The virus doesn't care why you are in a group of people it just needs a group of people.
Again, a million people could be sunbathing at the beach, if you choose to stay home it's nothing to worry about. People are social animals so it's inhumane to shut them up from human contact, regardless of what disease is out there. And accordingly mental illness, depression, suicides, and overdoses have shown higher numbers since that time. You're selling it as a success story. It's not.

Suicide and overdoses are one persons moment of weakness or that one bad decision in life everyone has a regret over, except it's drugs or suicide and affects more than just the mentally weak snowflake. People have breaking points, ain't you never heard of waterboarding?
 
Fortunately, the United States is a democratic republic with a system of checks and balances. It is imperfect with a slowly swinging pendulum but I'm not smart enough to come up with a better system. Other than me as all powerful dictator, of course.
Technically it is a Representative Republic..... A Democracy is just the 51% ruling over the 49%........That is a big distinction that Benjamin Franklin duly noted as well as the founders of this once great nation.....

Upon exiting the Constitutional Congress in 1787 Franklin was asked what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer ; " A Republic, if you can keep it."

wow - you guys need to outside and get some fresh air :lol:
 
Yes but here we slowed the spread until we got vaccinated unlike the US. So it worked. I didn't end up catching it until I was fully vaccinated and then for me it was mild - so I'm happy I was vaccinated.
Same for me, had it for the first time last Christmas (fucker ruined me joining Family dinner). I couldn’t believe I never got it from it’s initial outbreak in the U.S ‘til then because I worked as a cable tech who was in and out of people’s homes and business’s the entire time. I’m a long time U.S. citizen now but I was very grateful how Australia handled it as my elderly Mum was undergoing Cancer treatment at the time.

“I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such: because I think a general government necessary for us, and there is no form of government but what may be a Blessing to the People if well-administered; and I believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”
― Benjamin Franklin


“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
― Benjamin Franklin
 
The current Supreme Court is really going to F shit up for sure. Now that it’s completely Partisan and don’t care about showing it, we’re in trouble. They’ll stall looking at the decision on his immunity until after the election just like they decided Alabama’s unconstitutional mapping shouldn’t be changed with at least 4 months to go until an election. Republicans won with the unconstitutional map and the SC even ruled it was unconstitutional after but the election stood. The results should have been nullified and the elections re-held but oh no, what a convenience that would be rectifying our actual voice towards representation. It’s the same shit as what they’ve done in South Carolina redrawing a large percentage of the black population out of Nancy Mace’s district.

A Republican fears nothing but a balanced voter turn out.

Where’s the F’n check and balance for the SC? Until we get serious about forcing term limits for every role in Government we’ll always be on the edge of it going to shit. Just want some semblance of god damn honor and intelligence back in government.

Some fantasy you got there. Did you have any of the same misgivings when Pennsylvania and several other key states changed their election laws in the middle of the god damn election? In some cases a couple days after the election ?

I notice you leftists almost to a man always accuse the republicans of doing the shit you are actually doing.

First off, take no aggression in my tone being a forum, just talkin’…. State any proven fraud or impact to the election from Pennsylvania that favored one party over the other? The only people who are being convicted of actual fraud since 2020 are Republicans. Republicans are the ones redrawing their maps to lessen minority voter impact in key districts for them and getting, actually ruled as unconstitutional, as in Alabama. Republicans are the ones removing ballot drop off boxes and restricting locations and access times to polling places. Attempted to send fake electors to D.C. We accuse Republicans of the crap they are actually doing, because they are doing it, point blank (no pun intended there as I’m looking for sites for my Walther ☺️).
Plus I’m a centrist, not a leftist. I don’t support or agree with DEI as an actionable policy, It and “Safe spaces” are destroying Universities and endangering free speech. I support the 2A but don’t care for a treasonous piece of shit, con man being worshipped like a cult leader either, who’s allowed every ugly impulse in America to feel free to fly it’s flag. I actually feel quite left out by our politics. I just can’t vote for a party, ever, that thinks Trump is a good man, a good leader and especially who thinks he’s a Christian ?

Isn't allowing illegal immigrants to flood in because they tend to vote Democrat and ought not even be allowed to vote because they aren't citizens and therefore shouldn't be entitled to vote a form of fraud?

Or is that all perfectly fine in the USA... sure as hell wouldn't happen here in Australia. At least not in terms of illegal immigrants... although the left still tries it by flooding us with legal ones. However I guess I can't call that fraud.

Are you going to say this too isn't black and white @acceptance. Sure used to be black and white in the day.

Considering they can’t vote because they are not citizen’s it’s a mute point. It’s just right wing propaganda that suggests otherwise. Also a lot of immigrants can be fairly conservative, especially from Mexico and other places with a large Catholic population. If anything the Republicans are missing out on an opportunity with such anti-immigrant rhetoric, when they should be embracing as many as they can, as new, traditional family conserbatives. Can’t even vote if you have a green card. I was on a green card for years and had to become a citizen so I could vote.

That being said I believe in the proper legal way to enter and the southern U.S. border is a shit show at the moment. But Republicans blocked bills for more agents, more judges, to process asylum etc faster and more facilities to put people in because they won’t say yes to anything that has a chance of making a Democrat look good. Trump killed it just for that very reason. So I guess it’s not such a crisis for America after all. ??
 
Mute point. ????

It’s moot point.

Anyway they are voting.

Midnight drop boxes. Kicking republicans election judges out of counting rooms, allowing votes to be counted 3 days after the election was over, more votes out of counties than there were registered voters. All this shit happened in blue districts. Biden won the election without winning states that no one has ever won an election without. 81 million people voted for Biden ? The most corrupt fucking senator in US history. More votes than any presidential candidate ever ? Bullshit.

You’re arguing with feelings, especially if you’re leading with a spelling error as your big win ?. Nothing you mentioned, if it even happened was illegal or fraudulent. Illegals did not vote. C’mon man, 60 plus court cases, many to be in front of Trump appointed Judges, where they couldn’t bring any evidence of fraud. What makes you think if “everybody knows” that teams, actually investigating with a fervent desire to prove it, can’t find any tangible evidence?

They were never asked to present evidence of fraud, of which there is much. You're arguing with bullshit and spin. All those cases were dismissed over standing. Not based on merit. It isn't feeling, it is fact. Ballot harvesting is fraud. Deciding at the last minute to allow votes cast after election day to count is fraud. Allowing votes that can't be authenticated with signatures or ID to count is fraud. Throwing republican election judges out of counting rooms is fraud. And frankly anyone who thinks Biden got the most votes of any presidential candidate in history has shit for brains.
