@speedknob@AOC If everyone stayed home when they were sick, wore a mask, and practiced social distancing then this would have been easier for everyone. Unfortunately people are selfish, hence the second wave in Victoria where they were in lockdown for like 4 months
@speedknob@AOC For 6 days. We have 30 cases, thatโs literally nothing, thousands are getting tested daily. Half of our cases are from overseas travel, majority of the other half were one family. So yeah, I would say it worked pretty well.
@welllllpp @AOC 250,000 people dying is fucking insane. We had 900, you guys killed 277 times more people, that is fucking insane. My state has FOUR deaths, I cannot fathom your kind of numbers
@StockholmAm@AOC Since most countries that used this (such as Australia, New Zealand, among others) have sorted out the pandemic, I figured I would simply agree with AOC that it worked for us. Itโs up to your government to do what needs to be done, not me ๐
@StockholmAm@AOC Your government have the funds, look at how much tax payer money Trump spent on his golf course, or how much is put into the military. That is millions of dollars your government has, but it would rather citizens die than do what needs to be done
@gruzgliny@20blakeBlake@Cmdr_Thisk@chipfranklin@AOC We have jobkeeper for just over a year, so people getting fewer shifts or no work at all could live, hence why we have like 50 active cases nation wide. We did all of this at the very beginning, hence why weโre out of the deep end. Your government waited too long
@PattyBrookshir1@AOC Bills, shopping, online stores. We get given money so we can pay our bills, afford food and other essentials. When the restrictions were over and everything opened, people actually had money to spend and businesses boomed
@Johngor12596099 @AOC This means we can get higher education without having to carry the weight of crippling debt. But we need to fix our public education systems in primary and secondary education to encourage all students to stop the continuing of our poverty cycle
@Johngor12596099 @AOC When you say 3.2 million people, Iโm not sure what you are referring to? Crime and poverty are proven to decline when people have access to education. For example, in Australia we have hecs debt, which means we pay off our uni debt when we can afford it
this charli situation is NOT sitting right with me... 100M followers in one year & y'all expect her to know how to be a perfect role model? death threats because she's a picky eater & made a joke about a milestone? 30+ year olds dragging someone half their age? feels familiar ๐
@AOC In our entire country we had 27,800 cases and 900 deaths, proportionate to population, the US should only have 13x that. But you guys have 250,000 deaths, 277x our death rate. Stop being selfish. Your money could save thousands of more lives you fuckwits
