Are you suggesting that we shut down our economy again, close down our borders, put our individual freedoms and liberties back on hold, place all visitors and citizens who test positive into quarantine, destroy our major industries and infrastructures, and put a million Australians back on the dole? Do you want cops(and employers) to check the status of our Covid-19 ID card on request? If you can't provide this ID, you could be arrested, detained, or could loose your job. Clearly, I'm not that misanthropic. This is NOT the Australia I remember, or would want to live in. Especially, in response to a disease no more lethal than the measles!

In reality, we are talking about a disease that only 0.0005% of our population have died (?)WITH/FROM(?). In over 3 years with this killer virus, we've had a total of 11,543,887 cases, 20,660 deaths, and

11,488,902

recoveries. We are talking about a disease with a case mortality rate(CMR) of 0.1%. A disease with a recovery rate of 99%, with 80% of symptoms being reported as none to mild. These are the facts. The rest is just media hype and omissions!

Simply reporting weekly death stats is deceptive, without including context. What was the average age of those who died? Did they die WITH Covid-19, or directly FROM Covid-19? Were there any other comorbidities that contributed to their deaths? What were other factors that led directly to their deaths(obesity, drugs, multiple organ failure, ongoing cancer treatment, immunocompromised/suppressed, etc.). So simply stating that people are still dying from covid, or just highlighting weekly deaths stats without context, is just fear mongering to the choir.

183

(or 187?) Covid deaths so far this week.

Nothing from Tasmania yet - they're always late (and last) with reporting their weekly numbers.

The 21 deaths for Queensland come from their new 'system' of using "seven-day rolling averages". 

Perhaps aquascoot can shoot off a quick email to Dr. Gerrard and ask him WTF is that all about?

Apart from making a poor attempt to obscure the true numbers probably prior to stopping reporting the numbers altogether.

Not sure if that could be described as "following the science" but I'm sure Dr. Gerrard can clear that up for us in his reply to aqua's email.

Let us know how you go... or preferably don't.

Isn't he using Queensland's new "seven-day rolling average" system yet? 

Oh, wait... that's for those who are dying OF Covid (which is the cause of about 80% of the deaths according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics).

worst week indeed


1. West Coast is absolutely embarrassing and the worst non-expansion team we've seen since 2000
When the Fitzroy comparisons start being rolled out, you know a team isn't just struggling but in the discussion for worst in league history.
The Eagles hit an all-time low last weekend, becoming the first team ever to lose by 100+ points to the side sitting 18th on the ladder.


its time for action.

when is Mcgowan going to do something about this ?

millions of australians are obsessed with footy.

its perfectly normal

being obsessed with masks or trumps sex life seems to be a weird fetich of a couple of very odd western australians

get your sunday paper and see how much is devoted to footy and how much to masks and trumps sex life.

then get back to me on who the freaks are

And I see this in the news… deaths from COVID rising compared to previous week/month or whatever!
I ask out loud at that TV…. Yes but how many of them were vaxxed or felt protected?
Today I go to my gym as it’s a medical place also… I go through the waiting area and everyone was wearing a mask! So there’s this thing …medical and masks … yet in shopping centre today… not one!

Re: the lockdown we had in Victoria…. The longest on record in the world and made our state deficit sky high that Han Dan is taxing the crapola out of many! To pay it back!

All that lockdown… all that restriction, the fines, the suffering, no weddings, funerals only allowed 5 people etc. all for what?
FOR A BIG FAT NOTHING! Locked up for nothing.
Victoria still had the highest death rate!

Now this accrued debt is truly biting us all on the bum!
What a waste of time it all was.

I couldn't agree more. Remember, there is a lot of vaccines still in stock, and the government must get rid of it. Or, they will face stiff penalties for a breach of contract.

This is another example of how the media can manipulate the minds of very smart and very dumb people. There were 3 very clear red flags, that should have been noticed. Being forced, shamed, or coerced into taking this poison was the first red flag. Claiming that wearing masks, distancing, or being vaccinated could somehow reduce or prevent being infected/reinfected by this virus, was another red flag. Fear-mongering only death stats and total cases, and ignoring recovery stats and comorbidities, was another red flag.

I think we simply wanted to believe what we were being fed. Hopefully, we can learned from our mistakes and move on! OR NOT!!
