I live in country Vic more than 200 km from the nearest Covid areas. We are not in lockdown like Melbourne, although the only real difference is we can sit down at a restaurant and travel more than 5 km from home. Still wear masks. Still can't visit family or friends, can't sing, can't dance, no clicking of heels, laughing etc etc.
What really gets up our noses is that we are flooded by visitors from Melbourne. Lockdown??? Ring of Steel??? Yeah, right..... :dontknow: :BangHead: :sad10:

Melburnian idiots came to Geelong last weekend to attend pubs and restaurants. Twenty turned back at one venue.

Yeah, over 100 refused entry to hotels in Warrnambool on Sat. night... And they are only some of the younger ones venturing out on the town; must be hundreds more in holiday houses, other accommodation, etc.
Soon they'll outnumber the locals (that's if they don't infect us and cause us to be locked down yet again, and when this inevitably happens there will no longer be any incentive for them to be here :BangHead:)
Providing we are not back in lockdown by Friday, I'm heading bush for a week or two - well away from these idiots... However, the last four trips we had planned were smashed at the last moment by lockdowns or border closures, so look out country Vic - probably back in lockdown Thursday night!

It would piss me off too. I live in Melbourne and have no intention of leaving the area. Whilst I am fully vacinated, its still no excuse to put at risk everyone outside of Melbourne.

Are these the young ones? Think rules don't apply to them?

Envious. Enjoy. We just had to cancel our Marysville holiday due to this lockdown. We have another one at Marysville in about 4 or 5 weeks the missus said... if lockdown allows.
I think it really sucks that people can't follow the damn rules for the greater good of all. Too many excuses being made.

Sadly it seems containment will never happen, even with all these economic collapse inducing lockdowns. Why people can't just get on with doing their own thing and take some personal responsibility for their own health is beyond me.
Don't want to vax? Fine, have some potentially lifelong issues if you do survive a bout of it.
Want to vax? Cool! Just realise you can still get and pass along Covid and it mightn't protect from all strains.
Its government overreach at its finest and everyone seems to be okay with it, thats what boggles my mind the most.
And for the record i've had my first jab, so don't come at me like i'm an anti-vaxer conspiracy theorist. :nono:
