How can anyone (even the pollies) consider this even
remotely acceptable?
155
deaths this week just from NSW and Victoria.
https://covidlive.com.au/Of course, the only thing we'll hear about from the media (if we hear anything at all) will be that cases and hospitalisations are down.
Cases are down because hardly anyone is reporting their positive cases as usual these days.
And hospitalisations are probably down because a lot of the people in hospital are dying (in larger and larger numbers).
Disgraceful.
Other States and Territories still to report.
And aquascoot - don't even think about posting one of your word salads about exercise and personal responsibility. I'm not in the mood. Can I just add a little CONTEXT to the stats you've provided? Lets just ignore any direct/acute causalities, ongoing serious comorbidities, age, or any other contributing health issues. Lets just focus only on the resulting stats. WITHOUT ANY CONTEXT, PERSPECTIVE, OR ADDED CLARITY!
The population of NSW is 8.2M Australians. The population of Victoria is 6.7M Australians. The total population of Australia is 26.4M Australians. The average number of ALL Australian deaths annually, is around 160K(over 3K per week). These deaths(from all causes) represent less than 1% of our total population. The weekly death stats from NSW and Victoria represent only 5% of the total weekly death stats. This means that 95% of all weekly deaths in Australia are NOT covid-19-related!
Taking anything that forces our muscle cells to start producing anything foreign to the body(viral spikes), is a big red flag. Forcing, shaming, discriminating, or coercing Australians to put anything into their body against their will, is another big red flag. Taking multiple boosters each year, is also another red flag.
Finally, we are talking about a flu-like virus, with a case-mortality-rate less than the measles.

Over 98% of covid-19 sufferers WILL recover. And, over 80% of covid-19 sufferers will only develop zero to mild symptoms.
So, unless you want to add more CONTEXT to these stats(age, comorbidities, medications, prior/continuing health issues, etc.), you are just parroting the establishment's irresponsible fear-mongering rhetoric(by omission), and pandering only to the fears of the least informed.
