As of now, this is arguably one of the dumbest measures implemented to fight this alleged doomsday plague yet. Melbourne which is Australia’s second largest city, has announced a nightly curfew and are directing police to harass people who go outside without the government’s permission.

Alex Berenson provided some insightful commentary about this.
Well this is gonna work out great. After almost month of a hard lockdown did nothing but accelerate an outbreak in Melbourne, Australia, the government has decided on… an even harder lockdown. Forget Stage 4. Sometimes you need to turn it all the way up to 11. Genius. pic.twitter.com/ywWOD0UAKu

The part I really don’t get is why a nightly curfew. Do these morons think that the virus only spreads at night? What evidence do they have that this is going to do anything to prevent its spread? Do they think viruses only spread at night? I mean seriously, what type of fucked up bullshit is this?
To make matters worse, there really isn’t any crisis in Australia if we just look at the raw numbers. So far there’s only been 200 or so deaths related to the coronavirus. That is a very tiny percentage of Australia’s population meaning that these restrictions are completely unnecessary and insane.
This is such a transparent hoax that you’d have to be a full blown retard not to see it. They are using this virus fable to go forward with a draconian power grab.
And one final note, you have to love the slogan promoted by the Australian government, “staying apart keeps us together.” It doesn’t get much more Orwellian than that. The people implementing this deserve to be shot in the head.
