South Australia tried to ban people from walking their dogs. LET THAT SINK IN, FOLKS. I guess there’s no public health risk from animals doing their business indoors en masse? Well, I guess no price is too high to pay to stop the dreaded virus. (“Health officials warned that the virus strain was particularly ‘nasty’ due to its virulence, and the fact that many patients are asymptomatic, allowing the virus to spread more quickly.” I love it!!!)
The worst part here, aside from the police going along with this nonsense (shame on them!!) is how this will likely be used: Look what happened when just one guy lied to contact tracers. We can’t let this happen again. To ensure it doesn’t, we must all be tracked and traced at all times via a foolproof technology. And lying to contact tracers is henceforth a felony.
“A Whole Australian State Shut Down Because of a Takeout Pizza That Didn’t Exist:
An allegedly misleading story raised fears a virulent strain of Covid-19 was spreading via surfaces such as pizza boxes.”
Yup! .. As a South Australian living on lower Eyer Peninsula .. that’s all it took to SLAM the state shut with 12 hours warning causing a WHOLE lot of panic .. Not just a whisper .. Not just a rumour .. A down right lie .. Marshall (S.A. Premier) may claim to be ‘fuming’ but the people are LIVID .. On the upside .. it’s got a WHOLE lot more people looking at this chicanery with new eyes .. No doubt about it ..

Look at how that obscene story has developed:

Not a WSJ subscriber… But the MSM is so predictable these days, there’s almost no need to look at it to know how it’s going to spin things.

Even if the lie had been true, is that enough to warrant shutting down a state?
