Quarantinewhile in Australia: The OTHER "outbreak" you guys may not have heard about. "Australian Government Rejects Proposal To Ban Flights To Bali Due To Foot And Mouth Outbreak" This comes as they gut the construction industry watchdog, because corruption. I hate the Australian Labor Party. (archive.ph)

You... You don't understand how shoes work, do you? Or, for that matter, the fabric of clothes/bags, etc..?

Overreaction. The virus would not survive that long on a cloth bag nor would the cloth bag carry enough unless you filled it with Cow saliva from an infected cow and rushed it through the border straight to an Australian farm. Transmissions mostly occur in direct contact or in environments where animals are presents (with long distance travel mostly being by livestock transport and the virus remaining in the transport area).

Enjoy : https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mBio.00381-20

So just like COVID, you're panicking. I sense this is a bit of political tribalism. Because a party you dislike (labour) does something, you feel the need to oppose it. Just because a party you don't like does something doesn't mean it's instantly bad.

Also, just so we're 100% on the same page here : your thread title is saying Flights need to be banned TO Bali, not FROM Bali. If the outbreak is IN Bali, what does banning flights TO Bali accomplish. Another component of your massive overreaction and unhinged rant here.

Given that you clearly believe that this will never impact you directly, I’m frankly not sure why you care so much.

You’re acting rather… Obsessively.

I would suggest you stop trolling, or attempting to.

Take a breather. Get off the internet. Maybe go visit a fucking farm, and ask them what they think.

Or, you know, just… Go outside.

Because hysterics drove policy for 2 years all around the world. More hysterics won't help shit.

You’re acting rather… Obsessively.

Says the guy who is calling for outright flight bans.

I would suggest you stop trolling

Now you're just trolling me. Dude, lockdowns of healthy humans aren't warranted for a disease that requires a full livestock environment to even transmit.

Or, you know, just… Go outside.

I would, but you're calling for lockdowns and quarantines and travel restrictions.

I specifically said that this is not a lockdown...

Fuck, reading comprehension is not your strong-suit today, is it..??

I was specifically saying that THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS A LOCKDOWN...

Stop turning everything around 180 degrees to suit what you want to think I am saying.

Fucking hell. You're very deliberately misinterpreting everything I am saying, and even the way I write.

Quarantine, in this instance, is the practice of keeping the disease out, in the first place.

NOT forcing people into camps. It is, fundamentally, NOT THE SAME THING.

You are incredibly naïve about this. Or rather, I think you are being disingenuous and looking for an argument, which is just kind of pathetic, frankly.

Says the guy calling and I quote "To Ban Flights To Bali". For an epidemic IN Bali.

If you start banning flights, it's a lockdown. Look, the science ain't with you on this. Labour is correct in this instance, you're the over-zealous crazy.
