Caronavirus - COVID 19

Stuffing loud mouth experts coming out of the woodwork these days in greater numbers than Dee’s supporters

[Francois Jackson]

The so called experts that sit at home telling us what to do on their $600,000 salaries?

Ooh yes those experts. Sadly these "experts" and restrictions are here for the next 1-2 years plus.

They wouldn't have been too happy with protesters around the country today. I read Queensland had 10,000, all in close proximity you would think and not wearing masks. So based on that we should  see hundreds and thousands of cases.

Anti-vaxxers.
Qanon conspiracists.
Religious fundamentalists.
Trump cultists.
Karens/selfish "me me me" narcissists.

Ah, the full house of nutters on display yesterday  .








ps. Funny how there wasn't a single anti-Morrison placard or chant given these lockdowns would've been avoided if the muppet in the Lodge hadn't stuffed up the vaccine rollout and had built proper federal quarantine facilities. What a coincidence - NOT!

Anyway, back to the real world where these selfish gits won't change existing health policy nor directives and only potentially risked a super-spreader event if covid-positive covidiots were present.


Brett Sutton - Chief Health Officer, Victoria

I love freedom. Who doesn't love freedom? I want freedom from being amongst the over 4 million official  (and likely 10 million actual) COVID deaths globally. And freedom from being amongst the over 13 million current active cases. Or millions of current Long COVID cases. 1/

COVID doesn't make you free - debilitating fatigue, ongoing shortness of breath, neurological and psychiatric symptoms for weeks to months. We've avoided a huge potential burden of illness in Australia but the 30,000 cases we've had still represents so much suffering. 2/

When we prevent illness, the argument seems to go that there isn't really an issue, so why the restrictions? But this pandemic is far, far from over. New variants could still be catastrophic for much of the world - Australia included. They are hugely challenging to manage. 3/

That's not a reason a 'give up'. Letting infections potentially overwhelm our health system will cause illness and death at an awful scale. It also impacts civil liberties and it's hugely damaging to the economy to have widespread transmission. See: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)00978-8/fulltext


We can all argue the merits or otherwise of various approaches to managing transmission, but let's not pretend that 'marching for freedom' will actually deliver the precious freedom that we all need and desire. end/

By the way, got to love this juvenile attitude towards medical and scientific experts. Those throwing tantrums can't handle there are smarter and more knowledgeable people out there with years of practical experience in scientific research. Clearly, some people never got past being 14 where "my parents are stupid, my teachers are stupid, everybody else is stupid, I know everything I need to know, I'll do whatever I want, screw everyone else." 

Of course, the religious fundamentalists fear and rant about modern secular society because Australia is trending towards a majority non-religious population (next month's census will be interesting) and they despise modern science because it can explain the hows and whys without resorting to ancient mysticism, superstition and supernatural beings  .

Do you think the majority of those protesting across the country were religious MT? You picked out a few examples but I doubt that very much. I would think a cross section of people from all walks of life. Some criminals too. You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about religious people.

It will only get bigger from this point unfortunately, which will give authorities any excuse to extend lockdowns even if there aren't any cases.

Religious nutters health nutters they’re everywhere

Sadly 2  more deaths in Sydnry overnight

One was a lady in her 30's with no underlying health issues. Other was a lady in her 70s again no underlying health issues

141 new cases in Sydney, 54 of then under investigation as currently no link to any of their outbreaks.  38 were out in the community while infectious

11 new cases on Victoria all linked and all were in isolation

3 new cases in Siuth Aust all in isolation

[one-eyed]

Queensland is "at risk" of new COVID-19 cases after a man from Sydney ignored quarantine orders, travelled to the state and spent days in the community.

Feel free to delete my post if my sense of humour is not to your liking.

I find it funny '65.

Also remember that COVID-19 deaths are inflated but vaccine reactions are not inflated.

Haha
