Department of Health and Human Services epidemiologist Dr Charles Alpren says that approximately 99 per cent of current COVID-19 cases in Victoria arose from the Rydges and Stamford Hotels." "He said the Rydges hotel outbreak started with a family of four who returned from overseas on May 9." https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/it-started-with-a-family-of-four-rydges-seeded-90-per-cent-of-victoria-s-second-wave-covid-cases-20200818-p55mqe.html "More than 90 per cent of COVID-19 cases in Victoria's deadly second wave have been traced to a family who arrived back from overseas in May and were quarantined at Melbourne's Rydges on Swanston hotel. The revelation came on Tuesday at the state's inquiry into the hotel quarantine program, where a government lawyer shut down questions about the role of private security guards in transmitting the virus between the hotels and the community." Polls show that most people support the lockdowns and precautions being used. But then we are sensible, logical reasonble people on the whole.

Lightman replies on Aug 14, 2020:

@WorldSigh oh almost forgot standard issue equipment for nsw police. Equipment and holsters In addition to the standard issue firearm, officers are issued with Saflock (mark IV & V) handcuffs, OC (capsicum spray), expandable baton, Motorola XTS3000/XTS5000/XTS2500 (Digital UHF) or Tait Orca (VHF) portable radio, and a first-aid kit. Members have access to a fixed baton and Maglite rechargeable torch, which are usually located in all first response police vehicles for each officer "on the truck". There is also access to high ballistic rated overt body armour in every vehicle as required. Specialist tactical officers from elite units such as the State Protection Group and riot officers from the Public Order and Riot Squad have access to a variety of specialised weapons and equipment. The NSW Police Force has issued TASER electronic control devices (ECDs) which generally are carried by one officer on every first response general duties vehicle. TASER is also issued to some specialist squads (e.g. Public Order and Riot Squad, Tactical Operations Unit and State Protection Support Units). Each Taser X26P issued to police includes an integrated camera to record all deployments of the device as well as any additional video while the device's safety is switched off. The grip used by police may result in no video footage being available; however, audio footage is still "loud and clear". This is due, for safety reasons, to the grip being the same as that used to hold the glock pistol.

@WorldSigh none of what I wrote was a lie... sigh... end of conversation... btw our police do not wear cameras as I stated... it is not mandatory, some do depending on their duty and it is not compulsory for them to have even those few active at all times... in fact the public can ask for them to be turned off if an officer activates one. We are not the US or a police state. And I never called you a liar unlike what you keep saying bout me. Btw cameras are only just now being rolled out to Australian polices forces, again backing up my previous claim... I have never seen a camera on a police man ever... Cameras re not worn in the ACT, WA , SA, TAS, decisions on rolling out the Cameras for those states are being decided, the other states re in the process of rolling out cameras to officers for some aspects of their jobs and protocols being established for the use thereof... ta daaaa... so there you go... have you googled those articles I quoted... no... you don't want to her the truth.

@Tycho studies have shown that 1/ IQ tests are not very useful and that 2/ demographics have a major impact on learning etc. Being academic does not make one intelligent.
