Swear no one has said it, but I'd wager the reason they went snap lockdown is because we've all been complacent AF. We don't scan, we can't contact trace because hardly anyone used the lists or app, we don't social distance and we largely carried on as if life was normal.

A shock to the system if you will, because once they announced it we smashed out the app and everyone was wearing a mask almost instantly. Bet you the next time round we might actually be able to use the 'NSW Gold standard' because we'll be better prepared if community transmission does happen.

In short, as a population we'd become complacent so we got something akin to an obnoxious 4am alarm to wake us all up a tad.

This morning, I saw that Mickey Mouse had signed in on a contract tracing sign in form. He had been in the shop just before me.

For those who don't like lock downs and "harsh" measures - blame people like Mickey.

WA lockdown came from ‘politics of fear’

Infectious diseases expert Dr Clay Golledge says the five day lockdown of Western Australia is “a bit of a show” as lives were put on hold with only one case of COVID-19.

Llama is lame. Posting cartoons portraying Premier as Chairman Mao. Linking posts to Murdoch press.

With conspiracy theories being the norm now, Craig Kelly can take down all his weird posts on facebook himself and then claim he's being censored.

Actually on the whole people not wearing a mask thing. Look i don't really care if you do or don't, its your life, however I went to get a coffee yesterday, and this guys was calling the serving girls a f##king C#nt. All because she wouldn't serve him as he didn't have a mask. That behaviour is not okay.
Anti maskers out there, don't abuse people for following the rules. Its just not cool.

Did you say anything to him?

Just a very sarcastic; "have very good day, kind sir".

But your right i should have said something whilst it was occuring.

I'm dead set against wearing a muzzle but this clown is out of order. I have stopped going to the shops until this madness stops. My grandson got a mouth full from a Karen for not wearing a muzzle, he's 8 ya **** wit. Poor kid wont go near a shop with his mother now, what the **** is wrong with people.

I’m guessing there’s a good chance this is complete BS. plenty of under 12s getting around maskless and no one commenting.

People are losing their shit over others excising.

"Grow up and get a mask?" - is losing their shit?

Really?? It was also technically illegal at the time.

I would argue that the indecent exposure that followed was far more serious.

Why did they even walk over to them in the first place, if they are worried about getting COVID, walk away Karen.

Yep, just call the authorities if you’re that concerned but everyone wants to be a hero these days - story to tell on Facebook and at the next dinner party I guess.

You keep using that insult as if it's funny. It's not really. Just FYI.
