I noticed there’s a marked reduction in people out and about in the city. The restaurant I went to to pick up my takeaway order was completely empty, not a single customer in sight and not busy at all with takeaway orders either. It was never this quiet even during lockdown.
Also noticed the pubs all around the CBD are not doing much better either, really devoid of customers, even over the weekend
Not to mention punting grounds. As I mentioned in another thread, a girl I saw last week said their shop business is down real bad, less than half what they normally do.
It all makes me wonder if the high case and hospitalisation numbers are really the things keeping people at home, or are people really getting sick with the virus, so sick that they can’t even come out? I mean you really have to think like one of those brave souls. Would case numbers at 50k a day strike enough fear in you to make you stay at home, when you were previously happy to do mass protests and what nots to demand freedom?
I find it hard to believe any of them would fear the stats, as bad as they are. So the only logical explanation is, they ARE those stats!
