Virus pandemic rampant in Australia

Australia’s Federal Government has managed to esacape much of the blame for the spread of the Covid19 virus in the country – managing to pass the blame onto State jurisdictions. But bungles by Federal and State Governments are responsible for the extent of the Covid19 problems in Australia. There were an additional 502 cases yesterday, mostly in the State of Victoria where health officials revealed they did not know that nursing home staff worked in various facilities and often travelled between them - the same as many abbattoir workers which resulted in widsespread transmissions..  Active quarantine procedures in the early days of the pandemic would have prevented the virus from reaching Australia. Instead of quarantining passengers immediately on arrival, many were allowed to wander around the country on their way to ‘self-isolation’ The virus was spread on public transport, in shops and hotels before politicians realised the scale of the potential threat. Cruise ship passengers were allowed in- even a group of religious fanatics gathering for a convention was welcomed by the Prime Minister.

Slow decision-making and confusing messages are a hallmark of our political leaders.

The resultant economic woes are an indictment of government action and inaction and we are all saddeled with as huge financial debt which will likely be with us for generations.
