Sky News host Paul Murray says on Monday “lefty news sites” were telling people to watch out because corona 3.0 could be coming “via a few people getting down to their unmentionables before going for a swim”.
Mr Murray said on Monday it was a hot day in Sydney, and “God forbid, people decided to go to the beach”. He said, “Lefty news sites”, including the SBS were warning people the multitudes at the beach could bring about another COVID outbreak.
“Calm down,” Mr Murray said. “It was a lovely warm day, people are allowed to go to the beach. “While it is very uncomfortable news for the paranoid puppet Premier Palaszczuk up in Queensland, New South Wales has gone 10 days in a row now without community transmission," he said.
