I note a great number of Third Reich policies are being adopted by governments;
You need 'papers' to travel
Government shuts down private business
People encouraged to dob in their neighbours
Talk about mandating medical treatments
This is straight out of WW2 Nazi regime play book. What's next, Brown Shirts come and arrest people for not complying, throwing them in Gulags for re-education?
Good Lord, what has this country come to?

Mate- that is a bit of overreach.
In NSW the Police have in my opinion been very good in policing the policies.
Case in point they allow learners to drive - as it is educational and you are allowed to drive to an educational facility. Common sense being implemented in NSW.
This is an incredibly serious crisis and the NSW Government and Police IMHO are doing a stellar job in terms of lockdown.
Only thing I would like to know is what is the end plan- wait for a vaccine in tight lockdown, or slow modulated releasing to spread Covid 19 in a controlled fashion to reach 60-70% of population having antibodies = herd immunity.
I was speaking to my brother who is a drug maker- legally- has a PHD and makes medical drugs and stabilisers, and he raised a horrific point- saying it is accepted that there will be a vaccine in 18 months. He said it is not certain we will achieve a vaccine?!?
He then said another policy would be to allow children and young and healthy back out to work/school, uni, in essence to allow them to be infected and become immune, while strong isolation is in place for elderly and vulnerable to protect them, and allow in a controlled way the spread of infection through the population able to meet it and get antibodies.
The idea to allow progressive controlled infection from most able to meet the disease and then upwards to achieve herd immunity of 60-70% immunity of the population.
At present the governments seem to be putting all eggs in the vaccine basket. What if in 2 years no vaccine.
Surely there should be a backup insurance plan put into effect now in the event the vaccine fails?
