nope

if 21 school kids died in a bus crash it would.

you think way too highly of yourself

most people who go to a funeral are thinking about the traffic, or what to cook for tea tonight before they get to their car , before they get out the door of the funeral service .

to the vast majority ,an old person dying in a nursing home is less traumatic then a koala dying crossing the motorway.

get some humility please

get a dose of realism

We could do with another pandemic.
You know. One that is ten times as deadly and spreadable than Covid. Wipe out a few billion or more.
The timing is just right.
WHO sends out the alarm and the world goes "not that trick again" because Covid wasn't really as pandemic and terrible. It turned out to be a real fizzer and seemed to be over once Hospital patient Joe Biden got in power.
The timing is right because the world will ignore it. No lockdowns, etc .
...until it is way too late to be effective.

It's already on the way... H5N1 "bird flu" which is about to mutate into 'full blown' human to human transmission (i.e. airborne). If it hasn't already - and some believe it has.

Well we can only hope so. The human world needs to be cleansed from the filth of overpopulation.

And while some of our resident antivaxxers and conspiracy nutters still carry on about the vaccines that have been estimated to have saved millions of lives worldwide there were another 13 Covid deaths in Australian Aged Care last week.

Disgraceful stuff. As is the continuing use of "BE COVIDSAFE" on these weekly reports.

And I still have to admire Denis with his futile 'tagging' of Anika Wells and Anthony Albanese every week.

Wells is too busy looking for her next big sporting opportunity photo op (while ignoring Aged Care) and she hasn't posted on Twitter/X for over a year.

And Albanese is... well... looking for his next photo op anywhere (as well as boring the heck out of everyone with his top songs for 2024 (which he was rightly roasted for doing). Roll Eyes

Indeed.

It is futile trying to get our cowardly politicians to even say the C(ovid) word anymore.

Even when it is still killing an average of 80 Australians a week (according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics numbers from January 1st to July 31st this year).

And that's why I admire his persistence. It's a pity there weren't a few more like him (and there probably would be if our governments and the media hadn't imposed an almost total 'blackout' on everything Covid related for the past 2 years).

Well, there's a few people here at OzPolitic who won't have to worry about this (COVID finding a home in their brain).

Mind you, the virus does accumulate and persist in other parts of the body besides the brain so they should be concerned about that (especially the heart).

From page 9 of today's The Sunday Times.

"Mild respiratory virus" and "just a cold" my @ss.

Time to everyone to wake up and realise you've been duped by our pollies and big business.

(And kudos again to John Flint who somehow manages to get these articles printed in The Sunday Times and The West Australian despite the 'vow of silence' taken by the pollies and the media about Covid for the past 2 years).

Well, back in the 80s I would read on the weekend:

The Weekend Financial Review

National Times

and even the good old Nation Review.

The last two are gone and the AFR is a shadow of what it used to be. Bland papers with little of interest in them

Hell, even the Australian used to be pretty good and there was The Age, also mostly crap now.

Bible Experts Determine Goliath Died Of COVID-19

ISRAEL - Working at an archaeological dig in the Valley of Elah, Bible experts have come up with an interesting theory concerning the death of Goliath, hulking giant of the Philistines who fought David in one-on-one combat.

Though he did have severe head trauma and neck problems, his death is now being counted as a COVID-19 death.

"While we didn't test him per se, he exhibited a lot of the symptoms of COVID-19," said one Bible scholar as he carefully worked to unearth some ancient face masks from Bible times. "The wooziness, the falling down, the headache -- it's all pretty clearly indicative of the novel coronavirus." He also stated that the virus ran rampant among the Philistines because they did not social distance, while Israel was relatively safe because King Saul declared a lockdown.

At publishing time, scholars had proposed that everyone who died in the Flood, the Israelite conquest of Canaan, and the flattening of Sodom and Gomorrah also died of COVID-19.
