Come on Australia, what the hell??
It's not Australia it's one state in Australia. They have a federation of states much like yours.

So what you are saying is....
You have a ‘Minnesota” in Australia going draconian on the bit, but also might have a “S. Dakota” which is doing the “let it ride” strategy?
Yeah pretty much.

Due to the rise in #COVID19 cases, CA is issuing a limited Stay at Home Order.
— Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) November 19, 2020
Non-essential work and gatherings must stop from 10pm-5am in counties in the purple tier.
This will take effect at 10pm on Saturday and remain for 1 month.
Together--we can flatten the curve again.
Dude, I can tell you that 90% of your citizens and including you will violate your order. Except the only one that needs go to jail is you.
Sorry Newsom, but I'm going to see my parents for Thanksgiving, EAD.

I wish I could see mine. But this whole thing has them scared and hunkering down again. They are not even going to my brother's house in the same county.
Half of my family in the local area (3 of 6) has had the cooties by now. The other half would probably have to do tantric breathing with a covid patient for several days before they actually contract the disease. We’re getting together, eschewing the turkey and trappings (just like we always do) in favor of some themed dinner and drinks, and expressing gratitude that we still aren’t dead yet.
Hmmm...I wonder if we have a mine shaft gap...?

This may have been asked but is COVID 19 man made or did it come from nature?
I haven't seen conclusive evidence of either, and we may never know. If I were forced to make an assessment, based on what I've seen so far in the news I would go with a natural event that was compounded by human error.

I have no idea. All I know is that the Chinese used the Cover of Darkness, err Cover of COVID to imprison millions of Uyghurs and completely disassemble the one country two-systems [of government] of Hong Kong and the Mainland.
They also completely failed to contain this thing. I know we're giving COVID a November birthdate, but given how dense their cities are and how unkempt their markets are. I suspect this thing was raging last summer. Although they lied a shit ton about SARS-COV-1, they contained it at the speed of WARP-5 compared to SARS-COV-2.

Yes.
This strain of coronavirus has been identified in nature (in bats) and has been identified as a potential emerging disease of which to take interest. Also, there is some speculation based on "evidence" that it was engineered in the big bio lab in Wuhan, and this newly modified strain is what is actually out there.
Attached is an article from a clinical microbiology journal regarding the potential for this virus to be a problem.

This is quite rich from Cuomo...
Cuomo blasts police for saying they won't enforce Thanksgiving gathering limits
Also, bravo to Orange (CA) and Riverside County Sheriffs for not doing calls for service for masks or large gatherings if that is the only violation. Some smart elected officials right there.

I have spoke to local LE, if our town/county/state goes full retard with it, they won't enforce. Hell, they are still under the original March procedures of triaging calls and only physically responding to certain things.

It is a long, boring as hell read. The intro and page 683 (not 683 pages, it is a journal article and those are the reference pages in the volume) are the down-and-dirty.
