Why do you think there will be a second outbreak? Any real science to support this? If your going to go on what happened over 100 years ago, then you need Covid-19 to mutate into a more virulent strain second time around like what happened in the Spanish Flu. Any evidence this is likely to happen?

@MrJ9191 Now you just being stupid. I agree, they shouldn't have tried to limit the number of infections as there was NEVER any risk of the hospital system being overwhelmed. The only reason hospitals got overwhelmed in other places is because the public health officials (the people you think are going to save you) were so incompetent they failed dismally to keep the virus out of aged care homes. In some places e.g. New York and the UK they actually deliberately put the virus into the aged care homes.

@MrJ9191 Rubbish. Over 50% of deaths in Europe are from one single source, aged care homes. The 'governments' and their socialist public health officials that you think are so good at protecting your health failed miserably at about the only thing they had to do well. FFS, New York was sending recovering infected patients to its aged care homes to 'free up beds' in its hospital system rather than use the field hospital and naval ship that had been supplied by the Fed Government. The same thing happened in the UK, the NHS has always used aged care homes as spare capacity. The Idiots in government offering 'good medical advice' are responsible for killing people, not saving anyone. I haven't seen them issue a decent bit of applicable health advice yet, not one. Try not eating shit, and loose some weight.

@MrJ9191 You think not sending kids to school for no medical reason, but just to send a 'message' is Australian public health officials doing a good job? That's the admission by the Queensland head of health. And the extreme shutdowns AFTER the so called 'peak' was well passed just to punish the population for people being on Bondi Beach was also a good job? Destroy thousands of businesses and throw million of Australian's onto unemployment just so people would take it 'seriously'. That's what happened. The ICU beds in neither New York were overwhelmed. In the case of New York and New Jersey, for solely political reasons, recovering patients were sent to aged care homes to free up normal hospital beds rather than send them to the Federal supplied field hospital and the navel hospital ship. These facilities hardly received a patient. People wen't sent there because that would have been seen as an admission the city and town hospital system was poor. So they sent them to nursing homes. The people who made this decision should go to jail for gross negligence. The UK has always used aged care homes as an overflow facility for its hospital system. They just stupidly continued this always ridiculous practice. There is ZERO evidence that radical shutdowns have made any difference. Preventing the spread of Covid-19 among the aged care sector is what makes a difference. Sweden has not had radical shutdowns yet has no higher a death toll than other European countries that did. Sweden has as equally high death toll because it failed to control the spread of Covid-19 into its nursing homes. The current global death toll stands at 300,000. In any given year this is the number of people who die from Influenza, reaching 600,000 in a bad year. And the people who die from Influenza are the EXACTLY same age and circumstances as Covid-19. Old people in nursing homes, or in-house care. These are the facts.........

But they may care that history will remember them as the worst premiers and prime minister Australia ever had, and the ones who deliberately destroyed the economy for years. About the only consolation I can get out of this is the knowledge no political leader in future will be stupid enough to pull this dumb stunt again.

She's simply trying to play the old Joh Bjelke-Peterson line that all things evil live South of the boarder as a cheap political stunt. It will play well to the near suffocating parochial view that many Queensland have. It's just a cheap and crass politics hoping for reelection, nothing else.
