COVID-19: Current COVID-19 deaths*

Flu: The World Health Organization estimates that 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes every year worldwide.

The COVID-19 situation continues to change, sometimes rapidly. Doctors and scientists are working to estimate the mortality rate of COVID-19. At present, it is thought to be substantially higher (possibly 10 times or more) than that of most strains of the flu.

*This information comes from the Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases map developed by the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering.

In the first 2 years of this over-hyped, manufactured flu epidemic/pandemic, most people have now seen what happens when Capitalists become the puppeteers, and the masses become their puppets.

Clearly, most people really WANT to believe that whatever the media and their government is telling them is the complete truth. Even though this truth is steeped in half-truths, lies, disinformation, omissions, and just a little duress/coercion thrown in for added dupability. 

This was just another page out of Paul J. Goebbels's propaganda playbook. If you want to efficiently control how the masses think, just manufacture a crisis/confusion, keep your messages/slogans short and simple, and keep repeating them Ad infinitum(illusory truth effect). 

Here's even more emerging truth about the ugly side of capitalism. For the non-critical thinkers among us.

Went to my local TerryWhite Chemmart this morning to ask about a 6th Covid vaccination which I was under the impression I was eligible for next Monday the 21st (after asking around at several other places over the past few weeks and getting vague answers).

Apparently the only people eligible for a 6th vaccination at the moment are people with medical issues and they need proof from their GP.

The rest of us have to rely on being (re)infected with a constantly mutating Level 3 Biohazard, heart, brain and multiple organ damaging bat virus for our "vaccinations".

Which obviously suits the government fine as they're saving even more money on top of the millions they're already saving on pensions and healthcare by having Covid kill off the elderly and medically vulnerable.

And with the majority of the population blissfully unaware of all this the government doesn't need to do anything except play dumb (which comes natural to them) and keep pretending that the pandemic is over and Covid is "just another respiratory illness".

But, watch out for those new variants like Eris (EG.5) and several others starting to do the rounds... despite media "reassurances" about them being "mild" (where have we heard that before?) there's no proof yet as to whether they're the same or possibly worse than current variants.

And I've also read somewhere that the vaccines available at the moment are not particularly effective against these newer variants.

We are SOOOOOO screwed...

No, of course it isn't.

Try telling that to the families of the 22,466 people what have died so far.

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

And there will no doubt be more deaths added tomorrow.

I wonder which State or Territory will be next to stop reporting Covid deaths so they can also say "look... no more Covid deaths" (even though they're still happening).

Again, this is more disinformation. Every new variant/mutation of the SARS Covid virus has been either less virulent(harmful, lethal), or less contagious(infectious), THAN ITS ORIGINAL! This is just how nature works. Why you are choosing to assume that there is a more virulent and contagious variant(of the original) just around the corner, is definitely NOT supported by science or anything that we have observed. But your cognitive bias does support your belief. AS A COPING MECHANISM!

More disinformation to appeal to pathos. Let's include some context to these 22,466 Covid-19 deaths. Simply stating the total deaths, gives the impression that all these deaths have occurred today. Instead of occurring over 1,300 days(17/26M Australian/day). It also ignores all other factors relating to these TOTAL deaths(comorbidities, immunocompromised, chronic illnesses, etc.). I certainly agree that you should avoid this subject altogether Smiley.

Finally, if we consider that over 171,000 Australians die each year(468 Australians/day), I'd say that it IS a certainty that more deaths will be added tomorrow. And, yes a few might even be Covid-19 related.

Just a quick post for anyone who still cares besides me.

46
Covid deaths reported this week.

https://covidlive.com.au/

With Queensland and South Australia no longer reporting weekly deaths (soon to be followed by the other States and Territories no doubt) the death number is likely to be higher.

Another quick post to remind anyone who's still interested that SARS-CoV-2 is still killing Australians with no end in sight.

69
deaths reported last week.

https://covidlive.com.au/

And that's with Queensland, South Australia and now apparently the NT not reporting weekly deaths anymore.

And I've heard a rumour that South Australia is "quietly" changing their Health Act to ensure that things like Covid mask mandates, lockdowns and other pandemic protections can never happen again (so the economy is no longer affected by the current and future pandemics, of course).

And NSW is about to drop mask mandates and other Covid/flu protections on cruise ships just as another new wave with several new variants is about to start.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw-scrap-arcane-cruise-vaccine-010739499.html

Quote:
Mr Minns said the state needed to signal to international visitors, in particular, that life was back to normal in NSW.


"Normal" except for the fact that dozens of people in NSW are still dying from Covid every week.

Sounds like the cruise industry must have "splashed some cash".

Despicable stuff.

Nah, not a chance. Even if Mods were paid there isn't enough money in the country to entice me to be a Mod in this place.

And I'm too busy now looking after my elderly aunt who I brought home on Thursday afternoon after her fall 10 weeks ago. I have to take her back to the transition care place in Bentley shortly, it was just a 2 day "trial" to see how she manages at home (that's why I haven't been on here the last few days).

She's doing OK using her stroller and stick so hopefully she will be home permanently by this time next week.

Plus 640 new cases notified yesterday.   

As of 22 August, the average daily incidence
of COVID infections was 763, an increase
of 3.8%
, and with NSW accounting for nearly
half that number.

Department of Health and Aged Care,
   Jurisdictional reporting as at 23 Aug 2023.

Yes, it's Friday again.

And yes - people are still dying from Covid all around Australia.

https://covidlive.com.au/

Another
65
(reported) deaths this week, would probably be higher if Queensland hadn't stopped reporting deaths a few months back.

Cases are unbelievably low as usual - because most people don't bother to test and report their positive tests anymore and Victoria (and maybe one or two other States) only record PCR tests now (which are almost impossible to get these days and if you can get one it costs $$$$$$).

Edit: According to this it's
74
deaths.

https://nitter.net/BigBadDenis/status/1697458784204153324#m

🇦🇺Australia's weekly reported COVID numbers: 1 September 2023

🔸Deaths: 74 (-2)
🔸Cases: 5,789 (+442)

🔹NSW: 1,917 / 15
🔹QLD: 1,043 / 7
🔹VIC: 967 / 20
🔹WA: 694 / 3

So do I, Dr. Berger.

So do I.

https://nitter.net/YouAreLobbyLud/status/1700680180606652479#m

Quote:
"Yo-yo flu"
"Spicy cough"
"The 'rona"

I find these clumsy attempts to normalise infection with a deadly pathogen, and somehow render it 'friendly', even to make it an object of affection, to be at once excruciating, pathetic and sinister.


‘We’ve been constantly sick’: Why we can’t kick the ‘yo-yo flu’

Quote:
Australia is grappling with the “yo-yo flu”, where cold symptoms continually return, as a sharp rise in respiratory infections has been driven by an early flu season, continuing cases of COVID-19 and the circulation of nasty viruses.


I haven't had the flu for 4 years now.

And, as far as I know I've never had SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

I wonder why (apart from the Covid border closures, testing, quarantine, masks and other protections)?

Hint: the answer starts with the letter M.
