Can We Do Whatever it Takes to Stop COVID-19?

I read a lot of coronavirus news and subscribe to several coronavirus newsletters to educate myself and learn as much as I can. So I keep getting infuriated by people who still won't take this disease seriously despite the death toll, and who refuse to take the steps necessary to stop it. I love how the Australian official said that the residents "don't deserve" the inconvenience of a lockdown.

What they and all of us don't deserve is to get sick and die because thanks to deliberately inconsiderate morons who are spreading it! And if they don't like the lockdown, maybe they should be locked up instead!

This is definitely not the greatest generation.

One of the world’s ‘most livable’ citiesjust went into full lockdown mode as coronavirus cases spike

How strict? Starting Sunday evening, a curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. will be enforced, with the premier of Victoria ordering the region into a 'state of disaster.'

Hear more from Premier Daniel Andrews:

'We have to do more,' he pleaded, 'and we have to do more right now,' telling people that, 'Where you slept last night is where you’ll need to stay for the next six weeks.'

Furthermore, only one person per household in Melbourne, which spent most of July under these restrictions, will be allowed to leave their homes once a day outside the curfew restrictions. And that’s only to pick up essential goods within a five-kilometer radius of their home.

As for exercise, only an hour a day is allowed within that same radius.

State opposition leader Michael O’Brien reportedly took exception to the decision, saying Victorians 'don’t deserve this' and that, 'In declaring a state of disaster, Andrews has conceded that his government has lost control of COVID-19 in this state.'
