    Australian health officer tells citizens to not talk to each other — 'even ... your next-door neighbor in the shopping center' — to prevent COVID spread

    https://www.theblaze.com/news/australian-health-officer-do-not-talk-to-each-other

    HYPERLINK has full story

    snip

    The chief health officer of New South Wales, Australia, told reporters Tuesday that in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, citizens should avoid talking to each other.......................

    don't start up a conversation," Chant continued. "Now is the time for minimizing your interactions with others. Even if you've got a mask,

    end snip

    I wonder for how much longer Aussies with common sense are going to take this nonsense.

    We're told to support the science and we have vaccines and masking up and then we have this person saying don't talk to each other with mask, with vaccination

    what is their real agenda? Are they afraid to let go of their short-term fame and hope to lengthen it?

    For some reason I don't expect any of our Australian friends who post here regarding the US and/or Trump to respond to this OP.

    Draconian cultural marxists want blind, deaf and dumb slaves...

    WTF.???

    Do you have the mistaken idea that this is an Australia wide issue that will last forever?

    Mediabiasfactcheck rates this site as extreme right and mixed reporting in other words clickbait

    https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-blaze/
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

    Do you know how you can tell clickbait from real news sources? There is around half a dozen words each “page” and the rest is “hypered” stories that are there to get you to click on them

    Now THIS a is true reporting
    https://www.abc.net.au/news/story-streams/coronavirus/
    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07...oria-lockdown-bracing-for-cases/100309814#nsw

    We know this is very short lived and will end when the contact tracing is finished

    Don’t you love the panic? They have over eight thousand cases in Florida alone yesterday and they are trying to gloat because we have less than a 150 in the entire country

    I think distress at the growing problem in America, is driving this renewed vitriole about vaccines and lockdowns.

    Stop people from talking to each other, in order to control all information that's how authoritarians operate

    are you under the mistaken presumption that this won't authoritarians don't give up power and if they're telling you not to talk they are authoritarians.

    They're not interested in our words, they're interested in our freaking aerial transmission of COVID! Talking increases that transmission, and standing around in groups indoors increases it again.

    And once again, both the State Govt responsible for this direction .. AND the Federal Govt .. are RIGHT WING and quite libertarian. You're way off if you think this is about some tinfoil conspiracy.

    That's not the way I hear it from other people who live there.

    Ironically, much of what passes for "Christianity" these days is evil antichrist cultural marxism.

    A perfect excuse for an authoritarian regime.

    They can say they're oppressing you for your safety and people will believe it kind of like all through history

    People in Australia are saying we have a Leftist Govt? I suspect they're trying to sell you a bridge.

    They ARE 'oppressing' us for our safety. Compare Australia to Florida (about the same population). Obviously it does what the label says.

    PS: Why would you feel 'oppressed' by not being able to stand and talk to someone in a shopping mall?

    and that is exactly how freedoms are lost. If you ever wonder how people like Mao Zedong and Mussolini come to power it's this attitude you express right here.
    When the government forbids you to do something that doesn't harm anything it is suppressing you so it doesn't matter if you feel that way or not that is what is happening.

    Go ahead and kneel to your overlords. They're just trying to keep you safe.

    Our Right Wing libertarian Govt, is going to go Chairman Mao you think? Okay :roll:

    It DOES harm, that's the point. Mixing with people who are not members of your household - while indoors - is the number one source of transmission.

    I don't kneel to our Right Wing Govt. I didn't vote for them.

    Seems like someone has a rather weird obsession with everything Australian, especially if it can be used for the utterly childish "my-country-is-better-than-your-country" nonsense. Florida has around 8,000 cases, Australia 150, but down under is a problem? And these wannabe experts then try to explain Australian politics to people who actually live down under? Yeah, right. Some people really need to get a life.
