Bondi and nearby beaches in Sydney's east to be cleared of crowds after thousands...
• https://www.dailymail.co, By ALISHA ROUSEBondi and other beaches in Sydney's east have been been put in a lockdown that will severely restrict public access in a bid to slow the spread of the coronavirus, after droves of careless sun-seekers ignored social distancing rules and flocked there on Friday.

Somebody in a forum somewhere said, "To all my friends and members, stay safe out there, be well." How can you be well when police and military are threatening you for no reason? What do I mean, NO REASON? Military and police are sent into their own country for reasons. But there are no reasons that are admissible in court to prove that there is a reason. There isn't enough evidence or proof, and there aren't enough people with true knowledge who will get on the stand and speak the threat with proper evidence to show that the threat is real. The medical is 99% guessing. There is something. But the people who are sick and dead, are so because of many different reasons... not the plague that governments and medical people are making it into.
