Australia making the case that control freak lockdowns do not deter the virus

 Legal Insurrection:

Australia is proof we need the Second Amendment. Australia is proof a virus is going to virus.

Australia has become the ultimate nanny state when it comes to COVID-19. The governments have forced people to stay locked in their homes. They need permission to step outside. They need permission to take a breath.

And yet…the cases will not stop. It’s almost as if a virus does not care if you step outside your house.

Victoria

The state of Victoria extended lockdown and restrictions for another three weeks because of more cases.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said the government will ease restrictions once 70% of the eligible residents have the first dose of the vaccine.

Cases have risen despite these restrictions:

You cannot leave your home other than for one of the five following reasons:

• shopping for necessary goods and services
• caregiving or compassionate reasons, including medical care or to get a COVID-19 test
• authorised work (with a permit) or permitted education
• exercise (once a day for 2 hours)
• to get a COVID-19 vaccination (provided the distance travelled, and the time taken is no more than is absolutely necessary).

Yes, you need a permit to leave to work or get an education. How messed up is that?

Victoria residents have a 9 PM to 5 AM curfew except for emergencies, authorized work, supporting a child, or medical reasons.

The government allows you to travel only 5km from your home. That’s 3.1 miles. You can only go 3.1 miles away from your home to shop or exercise.

...

There is much more.

The Aussies seem to have the part where the virus spreads much more when you are indoors.  Lockdown people and confining them to their homes seems to make it easier to spread.  When people are outdoors the spread is much less likely. In the US the more people are outside the less the virus spreads.
