here's some stats complementary of Australia.
NZ on top
CYP 5th
Australia isn’t 5th. Already been through this before.
It depends when you took the snapshot don’t you think? A few months ago Melbourne was ravaged with 10,000 cases in a month or less. People were during left right and centre as Covid penetrated the old age centres and was being spread by staff killing hundreds of very old and frail people. It was a disaster.
But we don’t have community Covid now. Only 2 countries are in that league right now. Australia and NZ. So both these 2 countries are fir now the best countries in the world.
Our Government has been very proactive and at times quite severe in its response.
You for instance can’t come to Australia or NZ. Our borders are 100% closed to all foreigners. That has saved us. We have a natural defence which we are taking full advantage of. If necessary, we will be closed fir the next 5 years. We are able to do that thank God. We don’t need your money and we won’t kill our old people for money either. It’s not as if we are hard up for cash. Life is proceeding in Australia normally with low unemployment and certain industries booming carrying the weight and keeping us going forward.
So yeh, Cyprus isn’t ranked higher than Australia. It’s ranked a long way down the list and is statistically shoulder to shoulder with Russia, France, Spain, Italy, and Brazil. One of the worst countries with regard to Covid in the world. Cyprus has more Covid cases than Australia. Now consider the population.
So Cap, it looks like Greece isn’t the shithole after all with regard to Covid. Looks like Cyprus is.
Back to Australia, and NZ, both countries went to eradicate Covid. Lots of people said it was impossible. Well we both proved it was possible. It’s eradicated from our communities. So now we have a little bubble between Australia and NZ and don’t want ANYTHING to do with you lot because you are all fucked!
So you stay were you are and we will stay in Australia and NZ thank you very much. The minute we let people in will be a disaster and put our economy to its knees. We are as isolated as North Korea right now. We don’t need anyone.
We had our second wave and it was brutal for Melbourne. We don’t want a third wave. I never for a second believed the authorities could stop it at one point. I for one thought we were headed for a disaster but our authorities clamped diwn and isolated Melbourne for 4 months. No one it and no one out. They did a remarkable job over there and now life is back to normal for them but the poor buggers did it real tough.
The other thing you might want to know is that Australia and NZ are very much coordinating their Covid responses. The 2 countries are United in terms of Covid, emergency response levels and our emergency committees meet monthly to discuss what they are going to do. We have the exact same policies as there is no difference between their response and ours because we are in a bubble and want to keep that bubble open. In effect, NZ is considered a State of Australia almost.
So STFU!
