what the fuck is happening in Australia?

my company is working on two new treatments, one for covid and one for ricin poisoning, and Australia wouldn’t grant permits so the operation had to move to Tasmania

Tasmania is part of Australia. It’s its own state, like NSW or QLD.

yeah, it’s weird...but Australia has all sorts of biohazard regulations in place

i’m guessing Tasmania was allowed because it isn’t part of the mainland

edit: lol...just re-read my initial comment

Australia has had 68,041 Covid cases and 1,066 deaths. Ever. USA had 157,759 cases, and 1,700 deaths. Yesterday. I’m pissed that they have a system that’s working.

its a warning for us. if your not concerned about a western government implementing and enforcing these types of restrictions and authoritarian controls then I'm worried for our future.

Fine. Times it by 12. They would have 816,000 cases and 12,264 deaths compared to our 41.5 million cases and 671,000 deaths. That’s still a 50x difference per 100k.

I do think each and every country's response is an opportunity to learn and find the best solutions and fit for each country.

Getting mad about a hypothetical scenario though, even without considering the differences in law, I don't know, just not for me.

While I am on record here saying I support wide vaccine mandates, my main point has always been that they are legal under US law and also precedented. Therefore, the freedom argument to that particular measure needs to die.

I have no interest in living under lock and key.
