All these doctors, nurses, virologists, immunologists and epidemiologists keep saying Covid-19 is dangerous, but all these people who barely passed science in high school keep saying it’s not. It’s so hard to know who to believe any more.

Victoria’s loudest champions of the culture wars have this week come out swinging against the Andrews government, for what they believe to be a lack of directions in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic.

He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached, or voted out in 2020. But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him; the online radicalisation that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified or reanimated.
