Talk:Covid lockdown

Australian politics

Rob Smith, re the recent revert, please note that "The current Prime Minister [of Australia] is Scott Morrison who is the leader of the Liberal Party (a right-leaning political party)" (Australia, Conservapedia). See Australia for an explanation of the use of "liberal" in this context. --Jackin the box (talk) 14:55, February 9, 2022 (EST)

Interesting you should say this; actually, the human rights abuses mentioned are occurring at the state level. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 14:59, February 9, 2022 (EST)

Thanks for the clarification. I'll check further. --Jackin the box (talk) 15:03, February 9, 2022 (EST) Shouldn't the caption by changed, as the word "regime"does suggests the national government were responsible?

The government for Melbourne, Victoria appears to be Labour. The use, here, of the word facsist in the caption was confusing, Fascism: '"An authoritarian and nationalistic system of government and social organization ... an extreme right-wing political ideology based on the principles underlying this system" (OED).

Bingo. You put your finger on the problem - a faulty definition of fascism. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 15:43, February 9, 2022 (EST)

Leviticus

Leviticus does not mandate lockdown as a preventative measure. That reference should be removed. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 17:02, March 13, 2022 (EDT)

I don't understand, RobS, your recent edit. Are you suggesting that the so-called "lockdown" isn't a form of quarantine? If so, please explain the difference. See [1] and [2] for more about what the Bible has to say on this topic. This obviously doesn't mean that the effectiveness of quarantine regulation cannot be questioned. But what we have had is ancient rules being applied to a new disease. --Jackin the box (talk) 17:52, March 13, 2022 (EDT)

Lockdown is not a medical term. It is a law enforcement term originating prisons when tensions and riots erupt that was extended to schools when shootings occur. RobS^{Let's Go Brandon!} 17:56, March 13, 2022 (EDT)
