1984 revisited

  For the week ending 13 March 2020, the rate of deaths attributed to pneumonia or influenza was 0.87 per 100,000 NSW population below the epidemic threshold of 1.04 per 100,000 population (Figure 8). Among the 10,005 death registrations in 2020, six (0.06%) mentioned influenza. An additional 773 (7.73%) death registrations mentioned pneumonia. There have been a total of 20,340 laboratory confirmed notifications of Influenza in Australia for 2020, at the start of 11 May.  Professor Ian Barr, Deputy Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza at the Doherty Institute, told newsGP that while flu is ‘very unpredictable’ and the severity of seasons depends on many factors, similar rebounds have been seen previously in Australia.   ‘Certainly, that played out in 2018–19. So, 2018 was a record low for us in the past 10 years, and in 2019 was a very big year,’ he said.   ‘So sometimes that does happen. I don’t know whether you can lock i...

  Labor's vision Labor would: Fix the vaccine rollout Build dedicated quarantine facilities across the country Have an effective public information campaign Start making mRNA vaccines in Australia The details 1. Fix the rollout by working to increase vaccine supply, setting and meeting clear targets, and opening more vaccination centres. The Prime Minister should be lobbying harder to get more vaccines into the country. It took him 18 months to pick up the phone to the global head of Pfizer – while other world leaders made dozens of calls. He should be talking to our friends in the Biden Administration and the US Government to find more opportunities to increase supply. He should be talking to the heads of other vaccine companies like Moderna to bring forward supply. And he should be looking for opportunities to make deals with other allies – like the vaccine swap that South Korea and Israel recently negotiated. A Labor Government would also set and meet clear vaccination targets t...

 The current PM Scott Morrison is acting like Big Brother and is not prepared to release us from draconian restrictions unless we give up our rights of choice. Simple we say get rid of him.  Elections in 2022 so we can rid our self of this self righteous brat.  The problem is the alternative.   Anthony Albanese, Labor leader and budding despot.  In fact his plans don’t stop with forced vaccinations of 16 +, he wants to vaccinate absolutely everyone babies included with no choice in the matter. Australia’s economic woes could be eased with sizeable investment in infrastructure and social housing, Labor leader Anthony Albanese has said. In a speech to the McKell Institute, Mr Albanese said the federal government’s budget (due October 6) must prioritise jobs creation to lift Australia out of its worst recession in almost 90 years. Of course there is no mention of why this recession occurred, but in typical Keynesian bookkeeping as used by the failed Kevin Rudd and ...

Denmark has lifted restrictions and are celebrating their lives again although they still had high daily case numbers. NSW statewide lockdown.   People will bend the rules when the rules are too dystopian in nature.  Our lives are being controlled using fear and fines and this is causing people to rebel.  Yes this is a scary time with a flu variant that is rampant, however, when police and Defence Force personnel are threatening people and fining them on sight we have really lost the plot. We cant even visit family during this time or attend a funeral etc. And the psychological affect on people both old and young is horrendous. But the huge issue is people aren’t trusted to play it safe and keep themselves as safe as possible. While politicians, Services, media etc are still doing their jobs without the restrictions they should have, as it is these people who are in contact with a wide variety of people everyday.  On top of this politicians who are telling us to stay...

   The below makes no sense and once again proves the vaccinations are doing nothing except making people feel suicidal.  I knowof a elderly woman who for the first time in her life is feeling suicidal due to the loneliness these lockdowns have forced on her. A total of 156,165 people received a COVID-19 vaccination in NSW yesterday with a record breaking number of jabs given in the state-run hubs. Health Minister Brad Hazzard said given the "massive" numbers of people getting vaccinated COVID-19 restrictions on weddings in NSW will be eased from 12:01am on Friday, September 3. NSW has recorded 1,035 new COVID-19 cases and two more deaths in the 24 hours to 8:00pm yesterday. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-28/nsw-records-1035-locally-acquired-covid-19-cases/100415104?utm_campaign=news-article-share-next-actions-0&utm_content=link&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_source=abc_news_web
