And... aquascoot's hero, Dr. John "why do I look like I'm always constipated?" Gerrard (a.k.a. Dr. Death) strikes again.
Qld scraps COVID-19 alert system amid flu outbreak Quote:Queensland's traffic light advisory for COVID-19 will be scrapped as the state faces the threat of an early wave of flu cases.
Quote:"I can announce with the chief health officer that we will be monitoring COVID much like any other respiratory illness," Health Minister Shannon Fentiman told reporters on Friday.
Except that it
isn't much like any other respiratory illness (and they know it).
And, yeah... I'm sure they will be monitoring it.
Quote:"The traffic lights, as Queenslanders have come to know them, will end from today.
Wasn't much use anyway seeing as it's always been on Green since it started last October and even if it had changed to Amber or Red it wouldn't make any difference because even on Red indoor masks were only "recommended" and we've seen how much that (doesn't) work. That awesome "personal responsibility" at work again, eh, aqua?
Quote:"COVID does not pose the same threat that it once did, and we are going to treat it much like we treat the flu."
Except that COVID is still
53.32 times more deadly than the flu of course.
I'd sure like to see the "science" behind all this BS.
