My husband keeps making these types of remarks. Every bloody day.

I find them very annoying. Just saying.

why arent we still locked down


Some clown decided that it was time to let people die.


I dunno. Maybe we should just let those people die. The rest of functional society can just get the sniffles, take a week off work/school and then come back fully immune.


Catching COVID doesn't make you fully immune.  Not even close.

FFS, where have you been for the last three years?

Avoiding idiots like you that act like the Wuhan Flu is another Black Plague. How much toilet paper did you hoard back in the year 2020?

Mum and Dad, my brother and sister have all had covid. They have recovered sufficiently. I am the only member of my immediate family to have avoided covid, even though my job puts me interacting with the public.

Much like colds and influenza, once you get it, your body develops an immunity upon recovery. It is not forever. But, you are immune for quite some time afterwards. That is why I only get a cold every three years, these days.

But... but... isn't Covid supposed to be "unexceptional" and can be treated "like any other respiratory illness" now?

Then why is this happening?

Ward 1D at Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre is in COVID lockdown.
Remind me why it is “normal” to allow an airborne virus to infect ANYONE, let alone vulnerable patients with brain injuries, neurological disorders. UNETHICAL!!


Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre

Quote:
The Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre (HRC) is a campus of the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

HRC is a 120-bed facility, which provides general inpatient rehabilitation services for people suffering from stroke, other neurological and medical disorders, orthopaedic conditions, and amputations.

In addition to the general rehabilitation wards, Hampstead has a Geriatric Evaluation and Management Unit, a Care Awaiting Placement Ward and a Transitional Ward.


Let me guess... none of the staff had been wearing masks up until now because they were no longer mandated and they were too "uncomfortable" for the staff to wear them.

A little birdie told me that a ward in a certain hospital in our nation’s capital is currently experiencing a COVID outbreak, with multiple staff on sick leave.

None of the ward staff were masked — not even surgical. They are now telling remaining staff to wear N95s.


Wonder if the "multiple staff on sick leave" have figured out yet that wearing a mask at work is probably a lot less "uncomfortable" than catching Covid? Especially catching it more than once.

And then 'passing it on' to their vulnerable patients, of course,

hi carl


if i showed your posts to my wife she would see that you accused doctors and nurses of fraud in that you said they were lying and falsely diagnosing influenza when the patient had covid.

she and her colleagues would then realise you were a conspiracy theorist and an entitled old hypochondriac who thinks the whole health system revolves around you.

as a 50 kg woman expected to deal with the morbidly obese , she is kind of used to your type.

she was pushing a morbidly obese selfish twat down the corridoor when he started laughing, saying how funny it must look  that a tiny person like her was pushing him.

you wont have any carers when you finally reach your nursing home
they are leaving in droves

the entitlement and selfishness is one thing, but calling her and her colleagues lying frauds is really taking it to a new low.

congratulations  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

and carl, most of the sick leave is taken by nurses and doctors who did not take "personal responsibility" for their health (especially their mental health) and are off work with depression, anxiety, arthritis, heart disease and diabetes.

covid is a nothing burger as Dr Gerrard (a scientist unlike yourself) has realised

My type?

Are you assuming I'm "morbidly obese"?

Just like you keep assuming Marla is a 60 year old male working at the DMV?

Guess what? You're wrong on both counts but I don't expect you to believe it seeing as you're wrong in 99% of your posts here.

Covid doesn't care if people take "personal responsibility" or not. It's a virus and it will do what a virus of that type (SARS) does - infect people and make them sick. Very sick in many cases. And very dead in millions worldwide.

Regardless of their level of health.

And heart disease is one of the medical issues caused by Covid, especially if you've been infected more than once. Having diabetes can make it even worse.

I wouldn't be surprised if your hero, "not even a scientist's a-hole" Dr. Gerrard announces his retirement soon, joining the ranks of these people:

Quote:
Politicians resigning due to exhaustion this year:
Jacinda Ardern, NZ PM
Nicola Sturgeon, Scots First Minister
Mark McGowan, WA Premier

It's a new thing. These people don't usually do this. I wonder why it's happening now?


And Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein resigned last year.

Yes, I wonder too?

Long Covid? And/or the realisation that the population is slowly waking up to the fact that their health and many lives have been sacrificed to Covid for the sake of the economy?

Resigning before the (Covid) sh!t hits the fan and they are made to face the consequences of allowing a level 3 biohazard virus to run rampant and cause so much sickness and death?

Especially due to maskless staff in hospitals and other healthcare settings.

I know Mark McGowan has had Covid at least once. Many people are now suspecting he's probably had it maybe 2 or 3 times and he's "burnt out" due to Long Covid.

Tragic.. and something that could have been so easily avoided by not removing mask mandates.

It's definitely getting to the stage where one could be excused for thinking the world has gone completely insane when an anime convention (in San Jose, California) has more Covid protections than healthcare settings in the US (and Australia) right now.

Hi Carl

Did you really just say that kovid affects people and kills people regardless of their pre-existing level of health
If so you are a complete nincompoop

Bobby I could be wrong but my take on the WA Premier is as follows:

He clearly (and foolishly) overworked himself by taking on BOTH WA Premier AND WA Treasurer positions. And he did this within the context of a global pandemic and global recession.

The stress and pressure alone would have caused next level exhaustion and burnout. What inevitably tends to happen after that is a physical and/or mental breakdown. Your energy and immunity levels are next to zero. Ultimately you become fair game for ANY virus (not just Covid19).

Note : All my siblings as well as my hubby have had physical breakdowns because of work pressure driven burnout. It tends to happen more readily these days (esp once you hit 40 and/or start earning around 200 K). People at certain management levels never clock off. They sleep with iPhones next to their ear and are texting emails 24/7. If these emails don’t sort out problems they get up to get into the office to handle the issue/s. They have no real life and need a round the clock support person back on the home front to handle everything for them.

Unfortunately some of these people find that by 60 they’re either dead or left struggling with serious life long health issues which will kill them before their time. It’s therefore important that our parents stay alive AND well to support us by not being sick themselves AND by giving us a hand here and there. For some of us ... that’s (sadly) not the case. 😔

Yes... yes it does.

And, no... no I'm not.

Will there be anything else while I'm here?

I'll wait if you need to "consult" Dr. Gerrard again.

Then maybe you can explain why the most substantial risk factor for severe Cov-19, is INCREASING AGE? Or, why the average age of Australians dying with/from Covid-19 is around 85 yo? Why are the overwhelming numbers of deaths from Cov-19, from elderly Australians with 2 or more comorbidities(avg 3)? Why is it that almost 80% of Australians are being infected with this virus are under 40 yo? And yet over 80% of Australians who are dying from/with this disease are over 75 yo?

It doesn't take a genius to deduce that the condition of our immune system(vaccinated or not), and our general health, are the most important risk factors, that will determine the severity of this disease. Think of those people with primary immune deficiency, or who have acquired immune deficiency. Do you think that taking even 100 vaccines and boosters are going to help them? NO!!

It is probably the most obvious, and easily recognizable fact, that our immune system will gradually deteriorates as we age. It is a common sense and scientific fact, that our general health and ability to fight off pathogens, will gradually deteriorate as we age.

People with a stronger immune systems can be asymptomatic or non-symptomatic. They have over a 99% survival rate. And, those with a weaker immune system, will run the risk of moderate to severe symptoms, and even death. So, the severity of covid-19 depends entirely on the condition of our immune system. NOTHING ELSE! Not the climate, not the population density, not the number of weekly cases, not the media fear mongering, omissions and data manipulation, or even the percentage of the population who are vaccinated. NOTHING ELSE!
