As this epidemic is a Sydney-centric virus, just why is there any virus cases in the Northern NSW Local health District?
The same reason the virus entered Australia from Wuhan, we were making money at the time and money was more important than other people dying.
It is always other people dying. They don’t matter. If it was ourselves dying then we would have been a lot more resistant as life and living is important.
