It's not about protecting one guy, but about stopping the spread as early as possible.


So as an individual, it doesn't matter if your livelihood is destroyed because for the greater good of the community?


Correct. A conscious decision has been made in Australia to prioritize human life over business profits. What most didn't realize is that by choosing this path we're optimizing both, eg because we don't have any community spread our economy is booming.


Ah so what you view as business profits, somebody views it as a livelihood, way to live does not mean anything? But no its just profits.

Sounds like Australia has got ideas from CCP.


So you believe a livelihood is greater than human life? Someone running their own business should be viewed as more important than their neighbor living? Sounds pretty psychopathic to me.


It will be interesting and funny, when food distribution will be impacted due to people's stupidity, and you will have to resort to growing your own food. Because lockdown for everyone means including those big bulky trucks that fill up the supermarket. Because profit right? Famine, and starvation...


When is running a livelihood harmful to someone? Your entire premise is based on all businessmen are psychopaths, which is very narrow-minded.
