I'm just waiting for aquascoot and his ilk to suggest that the elderly and other vulnerable people should just be taken outside and shot.

After all, they're no longer working and paying tax.

Or contributing to 'the economy' in any meaningful way.

With his farming 'background' I'm sure he has a lot of experience in that area when dealing with sick farm animals who are no longer of any (monetary) value to him.

So, why don't you just come right out and say it instead of 'beating around the bush' with your word salads?

And... I still believe you would make a great politician. You definitely have a 'talent' for it.

Are we getting close to the number of aged care Covid deaths a year that are considered "acceptable" to aquascoot (and others) yet?

SadKangaroo wrote on Jul 16^th, 2024 at 9:29am:

You're assuming there is a limit. There isn't.

Yes, I'm afraid you're right. After all, we've been 'conditioned' to accept anything up to 1,000 flu deaths a year in Australia for decades.

Now we're being 'conditioned' to accept anything between 10,000 and 15,000 Covid deaths a year as well.

I've read somewhere recently that Australia is looking at 'resetting' (i.e. increasing) the baseline number for calculating excess mortality to allow for all of these Covid deaths every year so everything looks (almost) 'normal' again.

To keep the economy going, of course.

Quite bizarre, to put it mildly.

And again, I guarantee hardly anyone remembers Australia being (mostly) Covid and flu free for most of 2020 and 2021 with the border closures, testing, quarantine and masks, etc..

I foolishly believed at the time that governments and business would have stopped and said "hey, look at all the lives that are being saved, perhaps we should continue with all or at least some of these protections".

But, sadly, human greed and stupidity ended up winning, as usual (and we're now all losers as a result - at least healthwise).

Yes, Bupa... please explain.

If this isnt the surest sign that we are in a respiratory sh*tstorm and the actuaries know it, I don't know what is:
[Bupa excluding lung and chest hospital investigations and treatment of *pneumonia* from basic policies]
@Bupa
pls explain?

And, I'll bet the other health insurers won't be far behind... if they're not already doing it.

Also (just for aquascoot)... from the esteemed Dr. David Berger:

Yes, I'm sure they do.

I consider health insurance providers to be one of the biggest scammers around these days (along with real estate agents and used car salesmen).

And the disgraceful reaping of our elderly continues.

Another 30
Covid deaths in Australian Aged Care this week.

🔸1,359 reported deaths in 2023
🔸757 reported deaths in 2024

Nothing reported from the States and Territories about other Covid deaths apart from those in Aged Care, of course.

And, as always, total silence from our heartless (and useless) pollies.

With the large number of elderly and other vulnerable people dying from Covid in Australia at the moment and the politicians (and the majority of the population) not giving a d@mn, I wonder how long it will be before we see some of these here?

Switzerland To Offer $20 ‘Suicide Pod’ Deaths to Citizens Who Can’t Afford Basic Necessities

Quote:

Citizens in Switzerland who are too poor to afford basic necessities are being offered the chance to be euthanized at a discounted price, the government announced on Wednesday.

The portable suicide pods will be used for the first time in Switzerland, allowing people with various illnesses, mental issues, or social problems to end their life for just $20.

Firstpost.com reports: The space-age-looking Sarco capsule, first unveiled in 2019, replaces the oxygen inside it with nitrogen, causing death by hypoxia.

I can just imagine our politicians (and a few of our forum members) having wet dreams about getting something like this.
Not just for 'dealing' with the elderly but also for 'dealing' with the increasing number of poor and homeless people (caused mainly by our useless politicians).

By the way... the movie Soylent Green was set in 2022... fiction becomes reality.

Quote:

It would cost $20 to use.

I have $100 right here... should be good for 5 politicians.

Another 18
Covid deaths in Australian Aged Care this week.

🔸1,359 reported deaths in 2023
🔸775 reported deaths in 2024

While this is a big reduction in deaths from previous weeks and months it is still unacceptable in my opinion... especially with the continuing silence from our useless politicians.

And, from Victoria (the only remaining State/Territory providing regular Covid death numbers - for now) - 228 Covid deaths between 12th June and 9th July.

Vic COVID update
"The number of people in hospital with COVID19 has decreased this week. The 7-day average is 148 (week ending 22 July) compared to 194 last week."
But with the lag "Deaths have increased. In the most recent 28-day period there were 227 COVID19 associated deaths."

Also...

Quote:

Just a reminder that @VicGovDH
has decided to cease Covid wastewater reporting.

I'm sure it won't be long before the rest of the States and Territories do the same... the next step in making Covid 'magically' disappear (even though it hasn't and probably never will).

Oh... and I wonder where aquascoot is today?

Hope he isn't feeling unwell... maybe he's caught a "mild respiratory virus" or something? Undecided

I know why (and so does Tim).

But he must ask the question anyway.

Why does no one in the media say a word about this???

And, just like with the pollies, I'm sure it will be chirping crickets from all those he's 'tagged'.

Disgraceful stuff.

Yes, Bobby.

Yes it does.

It also says zero cases for Victoria, WA, Tasmania and the NT for last week. Do you believe that?

Do you believe there were only 410 cases for the rest of the States and Territory last week?

410 cases for the whole of Australia in a week?

It also says zero deaths for the whole of Australia last week.

And yet there were another 18 deaths just in Australian Aged Care last week.

I've said this a couple of times over the past few months - Covid Live is no longer reliable. They've probably given up which isn't surprising when you consider how difficult our governments have now made it to find these numbers.

carl,

governments respond to community concerns

clearly deaths in aged care are of no concern to the community

are the community concerned with births at maternity hospitals

no , because thats where you go to be born

and aged care is where you go to die

only you seem to not understand this glaringly obvious fact
