To a bloke at the the age of sixty; an 'unintended and incidental' coughing fit may possibly have served as a 'more imposing' question to his rational, given the current circumstances in Melbourne.
Tough love???

You've changed my quote. Morrison is doing a good job, he is acting inclusively. No one is perfect.
He would feel safe if my daughter started coughing as she was wearing a mask.
He was very fit looking. Just not willing to do his bit. Just a brainwashed angry old man.

I think there is a legitimate discussion about the pros and cons of masks.

Everyone should just do their bit.
Its just pure selfishness.
Another example is the black lives matter protest in Sydney. Just selfish behaviour.
Effin far left and right. Both won't act for the common good.

The radical Right fuels the radical Left fuels the radical Right fuels the radical Left......
The only way to stop one is to stop both and shift the discussion to a centrist intellectual approach. That goes for all these issues from racism to climate. Silliness on one side fuels the other side and the end result is an extreme division and little or no real progress.

I have seen a lot of commentary lately illustrating how the extreme left and the extreme right so very similar to each other, two sides of the same coin so-to-speak. I think they are pretty spot on with that.The radical Right fuels the radical Left fuels the radical Right fuels the radical Left......

Based on all the evidence, what is your conclusion ?

I think if you are susceptible, you should avoid going out as far as possible, and probably wear a mask in accordance with available science, i.e. with several caveats.
I think if you have any inkling you may possibly be infected, do the same, obviously self isolating as far as possible and getting oneself tested.... with the selfsame caveats (and I think this would be a great strategy with any virus, flu, etc).
But I think population wide mask wearing is unnecessary and possibly (probably) counterproductive.
If one feels safer wearing a mask, I wouldn't begrudge them doing so... no judgement, but I do not believe it should be mandatory.

Fair enough.
Personally I think they should be mandatory in hotspots because it's quite obvious that the situation in Victoria is not under control and if the medical advice is that masks reduce the spread, then every bit helps.

The thing is, no one is being asked to wear a mask 24/7, I got the flu a couple of weeks ago because some silly old fart was at scitec sneezing his face off, if he had to go why not wear a mask.
He probably thought WTF, I should have done what I was going to do and fronted him, but with the missus and grandkids there, way too much heat.
As Knobby said it is a selfish self centered act, that the muppet's should be ashamed of.

Shhhh!! Don't let anyone hear you saying that! We don't want to be giving Dictator Dan any more ideas!!
I'm not sure people understand the difference on the left. They use love a lot as they steamroll anyone that opposes them.
"Tolerance" would be better suited.
I'm seeing some stupidity out there. People are going ballistic if anyone coughs. I remember during the drought where one guy killed the other because he was watering his lawn. Its fear being whipped up to absurd levels of division.

Yes!!! On all sorts of levels on all sorts of topics.
And it's only going to get uglier IMO. as little as 6 months ago I was pretty optimistic our society would be able to work out a way through this. Not now, I am as pessimistic AF and fully expect to have to defend myself against violent woke idiots at some stage in the very near future.

I can see it now, gangs of vegans and soyboys too weak to swing a stick roaming the streets. The population in fear cowering.
And in Australia's darkest day, on horseback, a new hero is called.

That would be Margaret Thatcher would it ?
Though I am a fan of hers, no! She doesn't live in Australia and is dead anyway.
He wears a mask but not over the mouth and strikes fear to all the violent gangs of bearded hipsters.
Not afraid to splash milk into their coffee as he rides by. His identity is hidden but the people of ASF have their suspicions.

Close, GoldRanger, the clue is the horsehoes, steel with a gold insert. Beautifully crafted.
