  1. Why Bunnings? You really wanted to make sure people stuck at home had no project or gardening to work on so the level of depression and isolation of being confined to home could be maximized? Sit in the dark at night cause they couldn't find a replacement light bulb. Great! What the crowds at Bunnings and now shopping centers actually demonstrates is just how pointless closing small pubs and cafes has been, and the arrogant stupidity of keeping them closed.

  2.  @spiritfingers6897  I was doing a bit of research to see if there was any academic evidence as to the effectiveness of elements of 'social distancing'. Guess why, there is hardly any. But the really interesting one is the most likely place to pick up a pandemic bug is ..... at home. That's what the science actually says. And stopping mass gatherings, has only limited impact and then just a narrow window of around 10 days before the pandemic peak. So basically, all these restrictions and smashing the economy, hardly a scrap of solid evidence to support they actually work, and if anything make the situation worse. This is exactly what happen in New York ....... “We were thinking that maybe we were going to find a higher percentage of essential employees were getting sick because they were going to work. That this maybe was nurses, doctors, transit workers—that’s not the case. Some 83% of new patients are out of work or retired, and aren’t even leaving their home on a daily basis." - Governor Andrew Cuomo. So basically the idiots smashed the economy originally on no solid basis, using methods that had no scientific validity, and continue to keep restrictions in place that can't be justified by either reason or science.
