Hi,
I'm quite curious to know how many sceptics there are. Every time I even suggest to any of my friends that the lockdown was a massive overreaction and shouldn't have happened, I'm treated as a flat-earther, or a Holocaust denier.
One friend even got his son to discuss the issue with me, because he has a degree in physics. After explaining that I also had a degree in physics (first class, Oxford) as well as a PhD, and that all of my opinions were based fully on the available data, rather than from the fear-mongering rags, he quietened down a bit. However, I have still managed to convince precisely no one of the cause, and have yet to find many fellow sceptics. I saw recently 90 odd percent of the public think we should wear masks everywhere, so we must be a rare breed, unfortunately.
Is this everyone else's experience, or are there more sceptics out there, and it's just that I have bed-wetting friends?
In my experience it is the less 'well educated' young that are more willing, welcoming even, to listen to sceptic viewpoints; typically check out staff, care workers, blokes in construction and the motor trade.
Try visiting a Transport Cafe.
Most of my family and some friends are sceptics. Some even refusing to wear a face nappy.
I have a number of friends finally waking up but am totally dismayed at some.... they are so bought in and think I am nuts.
This article in The Sun, highlighted in Toby's round-up is interesting:

If you look at the comments, there's a significant amount of sceptical comments. In particular, the pro-lockdown comments have mostly thumbs down and the anti-lockdown comments have mostly thumbs up. Maybe the tide is starting to change. Of course, this might only be for the demographic that reads The Sun, and further the demographic that would comment on an article in The Sun.
Most of the population are brainless sheep (NPCs) where we have so many Leftists in Melbourne it's not funny. Just look at the BLM protesters where they are burning down cities in the USA and have received over $500,000,000 in donations from NPCs. It's not hard to do a simple search and find out that there is a 0.0045% chance of police brutality where there is a 500% chance of Blacks killing another Black. Someone leaked the full police camera video today where the media played everyone.

This virus kills as much as the yearly flu where this lockdown is bullshit. I'm looking to go protest where dictator Daniel Andrews is pussy and only reduced the lockdown last time cause of people protesting.
One more thing, please stop saying the outbreak is from the quarantine hotels. It's from the 10,000+ BLM protesters where 6 were infected on the day. The media and radical leftists Andrews would never point the finger at BLN. Just like they keep calling them "peaceful protestors" for burning down USA cities.
