I forgot to mention earlier - with today's numbers Australia has now passed 21,000 Covid deaths since the pandemic started.

https://covidlive.com.au/report/deaths

21,063 deaths.

And, in South Australia the media is reporting on that State's first flu death this year:

https://twitter.com/7NewsAdelaide/status/1664454173075857408

Quote:

BREAKING: South Australia has recorded its first flu death of the season. Details in 7NEWS Adelaide at 6pm

While this is tragic there's no mention of the 36 Covid deaths (Covid Live says 34) South Australia had last week or the 183 deaths for the whole of Australia.

You people are unbelievable.
One flu death…headlines
200 covid deaths/week….not a word?

Why do some deaths matter more to you than others?

Wow! First flu death in SA makes the news.
Nothing about COVID deaths.
Despicable. Imagine how the grieving families feel. Death from COVID is not even worth mentioning.

Shocking and disgraceful.

FROM CARL DUNCE THE LYING SACK OF HORSE SH*T

"The only gigantic lie we've been fed (and continue to be fed) by our governments is that Covid is mild and no more dangerous than the flu"

Wow.

https://twitter.com/loobylouwales/status/1664903521785790464

Louisa's daughter caught Covid at school recently (might have been the second time - not too sure), brought it home and infected her mother and possibly other family members.

Be sure to read the replies (keep clicking on "Show replies" and "Show more replies" if necessary).

I hope Louisa mentions this in the next column she writes for a local paper and it's shared far and wide.

Unbelievable.

Is this offensive comment really the best you can
offer this debate?

When you pass puberty, you may look back on these
sorts of childish comments with a certain degree of
well-earned embarrassment.

This is absolute gold.

Watch Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff being questioned about Covid by Greens leader Cassy O'Connor.

https://twitter.com/CassyOConnorMP/status/1666298040175718400

Quote:

For an insight into why Tasmania has the highest SARS-Cov 2 transmission rate in the nation, here’s our part time Health Minister trying to explain why he led the National Cabinet charge with Perrottet to remove mandatory 5 day isolation

That's the best 7 minutes and 22 seconds of YouTube I've seen in a long time.

Boy, doesn't Jeremy look really uncomfortable? And deservedly so. Seems to be lost for words most of the time.

And the head scratching and squirming is almost a dead giveaway that he really doesn't have a clue how to respond to Cassy's questions.

Now, someone needs to do this with our FIFO Prime Minister and the rest of the State Premiers so we can find out what's been going on with those Secret Squirrel National Cabinet meetings.

Might need to throw in aquascoot's hero Dr. Gerrard and give him a 'grilling' too, just for good measure.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

How can it be that a dickhead like this bloke can rise to the
highest political position in any Australian state?

There were so many tells in his demeanour: scratching his head,
rubbing his face, avoiding looking at O'Connor or at the camera,
rocking from one side to the other, continual umming and ahhing,
twice needing prompts, etc.

He'll be out next election. Roll Eyes

Ever think you have gone down a rabbit hole Carl

I'm sure in some corner of Twitter
There are a bunch of people
Apoplectic with rage
About how monkeypox is being ignored

People like the incredibly well-rounded and informed Dr John Gerrard
Can't afford to have the obsessive-compulsive disease
Of the Twitter weirdo

This is amazing.

There's even been people from overseas (Canada is one example) asking who Cassy O'Connor is and why they don't have any politicians like her.

Slowly but surely the lies regarding Covid are being exposed.

"Covid (Omicron) is mild"
"Covid doesn't affect kids"
"Covid isn't airborne"
"Covid is no longer exceptional and should be treated like any other respiratory illness" (it's more of a vascular illness that can and does affect nearly every organ in the body).

And many more.

And the day is getting closer when those responsible for Australia's disastrous "vaccines only then let it rip" approach will be held accountable.

That includes charlatans like Paul Kelly, Australia's Chief Medical Officer and aquascoot's hero Dr. John Gerrard, Queensland's Chief Health Officer.

Speaking of Paul Kelly - has anyone heard anything more about him since I heard he caught Covid a week or so back? Can't seem to find any online information at all now about him catching it, let alone how he's handling it.

Almost like there's a 'news blackout'... funny about that. Hope he's OK. Thoughts and prayers.

Rockliff: Well, there’s an area of personal responsibility for all of us.

O’Connor: It used to be called public health.

Thank you @CassyOConnorMP
for asking for the advice that was used to justify removal of isolation, it’s about time.

Yes, it most certainly is about time.

Wow... Cassy is really on a roll here.

Tasmanian Premier Jeremy Rockliff yesterday.

Disability Services Minister Jo Palmer today.

Tasmanian Greens leader Cassy O'Connor asks Disability Services Minister Jo Palmer MLC about what protections the Tasmanian Government puts in place to protect vulnerable Tasmanians with disabilities.

Direct YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75k_t3oeoFQ

Cassy for Prime Minister, that's what I say. Smiley

https://twitter.com/CassyOConnorMP/

And she's been really looking forward to this week.

https://twitter.com/CassyOConnorMP/status/1666443877522235392

Quote:

It’s a Budget Estimates committee hearing from this past Monday … in the Premier’s portfolio area. Estimates on the State Budget bills are the one chance in the year we get to sit down for Q & As with Ministers like that. The Greens very much look forward to this week. 🪲

She was a journalist in "a past life" (and it shows). Cool

Wonder who she's going to embarrass tomorrow? Is Albo in Tasmania at the moment? Undecided

And the reaping continues...

143
deaths reported for NSW and Victoria this week.

https://covidlive.com.au/

Other States and Territories still to report.

Meanwhile...

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton resigns from Department of Health to join CSIRO

Quote:

Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton is resigning from his position after four years in the role that saw him become one of the faces of the state's COVID-19 pandemic response.

Quote:

Professor Sutton will leave the Department of Health to take up a new position as Director of Health and Biosecurity at CSIRO from September.

And... I agree with Anna here.

Quote:

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton resigns from Department of Health to join CSIRO - ABC News

Brett knows how bad it is and how bad it’s going to get.
He did a marvellous job until he was gagged.

I'm sure he does know exactly how bad it is and is going to get. Just like Jacinda Ardern and Mark McGowan did when they decided they'd had enough.

Quote:

I should add he still attempted to do his upmost whilst he was gagged.
Even being a NSW resident I looked for his reports..
He has always gone above and beyond.
Go well @VictorianCHO

Also...

After being gagged and sidelined by the change in legislation, I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did.
That must have been rough.
Thank’s for all your hard work Brett, and good luck for the future. 👍

Yes. Good luck Brett.

196
deaths this week.
https://covidlive.com.au/

Could actually be 199
deaths.

https://twitter.com/BigBadDenis/status/1667037514534899712

Quote:

🔸Deaths: 199 (+15)
🔸Cases: 30,846 (-6,602)

🔹NSW: 11,719 / 81
🔹VIC: 6,135 / 64
🔹QLD: 5,474 / 14
🔹WA: 3,014 / 7
🔹SA: 2,593 / 24
🔹TAS: 964 / 4
🔹ACT: 811 / 5
🔹NT: 136 / 0

I presume the 14 deaths reported for Queensland come from the "7 day rolling average".

Probably the only thing we'll hear from the mainstream media (if we hear anything at all) is that cases are down.

And, as I've said before - that's only because most people are not bothering to test and report anymore (see the left hand news article here).

Hey, aquascoot - is it too early for me to say "I told you so?"

And the Covid carnage continues...

168
deaths reported so far this week just from NSW, Victoria and the Northern Territory.

https://covidlive.com.au/

Cases are down (due to people not reporting, of course) and hospitalisations are down a bit.

Hey, Bobby...there's speculation that Daniel Andrews might be 'stepping aside' soon.

https://twitter.com/sunriseon7/status/1669450060394819587

Quote:

There is speculation that Victorian premier Dan Andrews is set to step aside with a succession plan in place that will see his deputy Jacinta Allan take the reins.

Another one 'bailing out' before the Covid sh!t really hits the fan... just like Jacinda Ardern, Mark McGowan and most recently, Brett Sutton.

He might also be having regrets over the massive number of Covid deaths as I'm sure the others did when they quit.

Another grim milestone as well this week - 8,000 (8,005) Victorian Covid deaths.

198
deaths this week with WA still to report.

https://covidlive.com.au/

What's going on, WA? You used to be one of the first to report Covid numbers, now even Tasmania has got theirs in before us. Hmmm...

Someone suggested that the Prime Minister should stand up in Parliament every Friday and read out the names and ages of all those who died from Covid that week.

And offer condolences to their families.

Yes, I agree (after all of the current 'distractions' are out of the way, of course).
