This pandemic pretty much revealed how fucking
incompetent these politicians and governments are,
These idiots need to be removed from power before they cause even more damage.
When will people learn that holding China accountable for their actions isn't racist.

Oh believe me there's likely to be issues no matter how one tries to navigate this particular shitstorm. Chances are it's likely to be in the form of partial reopening of the economy in parts of the country where the virus hasn't spread as badly. Of course regardless of what course of action is taken it's likely to be unpopular even if it is a good decision so good luck to whoever has to make that particular decision.
The bigger issue for the US would be how poorly your media has acted throughout the whole affair. Flinging shit at the guy in charge during regular times is one thing, but doing your best to sabotage the guy during a crisis of all things is a bit beyond the pale.

Oh don't even get me started on the damn media they go from saying the flu is worse and downplaying it to going panic mode in not even a month.
If the World governments took this virus more seriously when it was still mostly in China maybe we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

From Straya posters on another forum, Tasmania is an authoritarian craphole that most of Australians would be glad to be rid off.

Straya posters?
Also, what exactly is about Tasmania that the rest dislike? From what I know, isn’t Australia already leaning very Left these days?

Australian slang for themself.
We all need to consider that China fucked up themselves, which is why thier numbers are being hidden and are very large. They dont have the capabilities the US has for instance to manage to take care of its citizens. The US also doesnt go around killing its own people. Under a million will die is what I am getting. Millions will be affected. 90 percent of deaths so far have been someone with a previous condition.

So far; I'm still worried about the potential for reinfection, and cumulative damage.
What do you mean by cumulative damage?

People getting sick with the virus a second time having worse symptoms than they did the first, due to it compromising their immune system, or causing lasting if not permanent damage to vital organs. Then factor in the potential for further reinfections, each worse than the last, and it may just be a matter of the virus wearing you down each time until it does kill you.
Ohh. Do we have evidence of people getting ti worse the second time?

It was something whistleblowers in China were talking about early on, and
South Korea reports recovered coronavirus patients testing positive again

Reinfection happens with the Flu as well (only using it as an example. Not saying it isnt worse!). I am just saying, we have yet to really have any people who have caught it the second time around doing worse.It was something whistleblowers in China were talking about early on, andTrain DodgerReveille has, I believe, cited research on that topic as well. Thing is, we already know reinfections could be a thing:
I don't know if people will get it worse the second time around, or not; but the potential worries me.South Korea reports recovered coronavirus patients testing positive again
South Korean officials on Friday reported 91 patients thought cleared of the new coronavirus had tested positive again.
I also will say the air pollution in China did not help the situation there. Same with New York and LA. That could be another reason.
The virus itself is not as bad as people making it out to be in some cases. The quality of Air, preexisting conditions and the like. Death rates of those below the age of 60 are low compared to that of those above it. Most if the deaths below that age are from preexisting conditions, or their bodies being weakened thanks to the environment around them.
Edit: this is an article I found for my section.
It explains a lot if good stuff about the economy and various other things

Anyone else worried about the possibility of the virus coming back in the winter if the spring/summer heat lessons the spread of the virus?

What’s CNN’s current relationship with the PRC? I don’t think they’d approve of this being published
