Even my otherwise sensible middle sister has fallen for the Covid fear porn.
The MSM is an utter disgrace which has long abandoned any objectivity or responsibility, and any cynicism of governments and bureaucracy.
In the extended family of my wife (who is a woman), males and females alike, the patriarch of whom lived during and fled (under gunfire) the takeover of his birth country by a Communist regime, none has any fear of a Covid, and all called BS on the Oz govt response to it on day 1.
