[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2264415, member: 480869"] I’m not sure of the point you are making. Australia has fared particularly well in comparison to most places. Perhaps better decisions made at better times, perhaps other factors. None of which are in the control of the general population. Be very grateful whatever. I’m sorry to say from here your comments sound flippant. Probably not meant that way but still ....Yes you shut down for a short while, yes life has been inconvenient for a while, yes a few boats caused the few problems you have had. I’m not sure you realise the effect tens of thousands rather than 100 has had on livelihoods, fear,loss, death and devastation here in the U.K. I lived in Australia a fair while. Aussies are sturdy, blunt stock and I love that. Many of my friends live not so far from you. Many of them are nurses, many in icu. Believe me I wish I was there not here. Reminding us of that right now isn’t helpful. It’s rubbing our noses in our mess, boasting how much better it could have been. I realise I’m probably being somewhat reactive right now and quite possibly misunderstanding but my emotions are high. No personal criticism is intended but please remember your experience is not everyones. [/QUOTE]
