Just popping in for another weekly update.
In an Australia largely populated by gullible, easily distracted sheep (the best kind of population as far as our governments and big business are concerned) with the current distractions being the AFL, Sam Kerr and the Matildas, the Voice, nuclear submarines, bank CEO's salaries, Barbie and a few more we've had another

Covid deaths this week.
https://covidlive.com.au/No deaths are being reported by Queensland as usual (how's that "science" going, aquascoot?) and now South Australia has stopped reporting deaths as well... it won't be long before the other States and Territories follow, I bet.
The number of new cases would also be at least 20 times higher of course. Victoria (and probably SA and WA) are only reporting PCR tests now... which are almost impossible to get... another way to make Covid 'magically' disappear.
Meanwhile, another new Covid "variant of interest" has emerged.
WHO declares ‘Eris’ Covid strain a variant of interest as cases rise globally Quote:A new strain of Covid-19 has been designated as a variant of interest by the World Health Organization, although the public health risk has been judged as low.
The variant, known as EG.5 or “Eris”, is related to an Omicron subvariant called XBB.1.9.2, and is growing in prevalence globally, with countries including the UK, China and US among those affected.
However, the WHO suggested the variant does not pose a particular threat. “Based on the available evidence, the public health risk posed by EG.5 is evaluated as low at the global level,” the agency said, adding that the risk appeared to be on a par with other circulating variants of interest.
Low public health risk? Yeah, right. We were told the same thing about the original Omicron when it first appeared nearly 2 years ago.
And stop calling everything Omicron for God's sake.
I'm sure "Eris" has started circulating in Australia and if it isn't already in your area it will be arriving at your nearest airport any day now.
And what will our pathetic governments do about it? Nothing, as usual.
Disgraceful stuff.
