Absolutely correct. It's all about lowering the spike once Delta takes hold. Every single person will eventually get this disease. It may take months or years but you will get it. How sick you get depends on you. If you think Delta variant is bad just wait for the Kylie variant. You should be so lucky.
A neighbour who is a nurse at RPA has been in quarantine 3 times due to be being a close contact at the hospital. Her and her family have done 3 lots of 2 week home isolations over this year. They have almost gone crazy. Many health staff are in the same boat and hospitals are short of staff because of the number who are in isolation.
Influenza is normally put at about 0.3% but the experience of last year suggests we don't give it enough credit. According to ABS date around 800 people died of the flue in 2019 but in 2020 we cancelled the flu season by locking down the nursing homes, wearing masks, washing our hands regularly etc and the result was 28 thousand fewer deaths and 17 thousand fewer deaths from respiratory conditions.
Aluminium. A lot of Chinese power plants are geared up to burn Australian coal and they can't use Chinese domestic coal. Hence the rolling blackouts in China and reduced Aluminium production. Hence the Chinese government plans to build new coal powered stations and demands for increased domestic coal production. China produces about 58% of the world's aluminium. Xi Jinping is under pressure from other senior members of the CCP which may be why he's unwilling to leave the country at the moment. The power shortages are unlikely to be helping his hold on power. This may be one reason why Xi has been rattling sabres toward Taiwan and America recently. We may survive Covid but perish in the resultant world war. I find that scenario very unlikely. We're better off than 20 million people in Africa facing starvation because they can't get insecticides as a result of the restrictions we've put in place to save ourselves from Covid.
Lets hope these dropkicks don't start trying this stuff on:
Pneumonia is the condition when your lungs fill up. It is the outcome of a few different conditions and diseases including covid.
Those damn moopsLets hope these dropkicks don't start trying this stuff on:
She Bought Her Dream Home. Then a ‘Sovereign Citizen’ Changed the Locks. (Published 2021)
A New Jersey woman was preyed upon by a fast-growing extremist group that claims its members are sovereign Moors, not bound by U.S. laws.www.nytimes.com
Only in the USA hopefully.
Yeah,many moons ago I contemplated being a paramedic as a career choice,right now I don't know if I could do it without losing it or losing my **** at some of the public....
It can be a bacterial infection in the lungs,it can be contagious,the nurses and doctors wear full PPE every time visiting the room of a pneumonia patient so as to not pass it on,particularly so in paediatric wards.....
So it would be logical to assume that the covid deaths might be under represented too?
I thought there was a lot of noise recently about China using less coal and steel to reduce their emissions to be more compliant?Maybe it is a smokescreen for the real reason why they want to import less steel and therefore coal.....
No, Covid deaths appear to be well documented. If you listen to the case details given in the daily briefings a number of people have been found to be Covid positive after dying of other causes. They still get counted as Covid deaths. The government has gone over to referring to "deaths with Covid". Early on a number of people contracted Covid while in palliative care wards. They were still counted as Covid deaths. I think we can safely assume that Covid deaths aren't undercounted.
I believe that recent studies show that many Central/Southern American and middle eastern/balkan states have been exposed as reporting 2-3 times less the number of deaths and Russia at 4 times.
We have one up here , a Chinese lady who claimed to be a Dr and was selling exemptions for $160!!And then there’s stuff like this, you would hope the authorities can track down every one he issued and have the all cancelled.
Lake Macquarie doctor who issued hundreds of vaccine exemptions suspended
Dr Evans was interviewed by police earlier this month, and referred to the state’s Health Care Complaints Commission, after allegedly telling police he had issued 400 vaccine exemptions with another 300 to be written.www.smh.com.au
A doctor from the NSW Central Coast who allegedly issued hundreds of exemptions from COVID-19 vaccinations has been suspended by the Medical Council of NSW.
A spokesperson for the Medical Council confirmed it had suspended the medical registration of Lake Macquarie practitioner Anthony John Evans on October 28.
“The decision took effect immediately. The council has taken this regulatory action in order to protect the health and safety of the public and to maintain confidence in the medical profession.
The council has written to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, which has recorded the suspension on the online public register of practitioners,” the spokesperson said.
Dr Evans was interviewed by police earlier this month, and was referred to the state’s Health Care Complaints Commission, after telling police he had issued 400 vaccine exemptions, with another 300 to be written.
When the Herald attempted to contact Dr Evans, a voicemail recording said exemptions were no longer being issued.
“We are no longer answering the phone as we are recovering from the ordeal of the last month,” the voice message, in a woman’s voice, said.
“If you are calling about an exemption from vaccines, we are no longer able to provide these.”
The 84 year-old recently came back to the workforce and was registered as part of the “temporary pandemic response sub-register”, which fast-tracked the return of experienced health practitioners to provide a surge capacity.
Dr Evans’ alleged exemptions first came to light on 2GB radio earlier in the month, after locals called in to the station saying some at Kempsey Adventist School were advocating for people not to get vaccinated.
They said a sheet of paper was sent out to the school community with details about Dr Evans to issue exemptions.
The school was forced to shut between October 20 and 27 after a number of people in the community tested positive for COVID-19.
The school has been contacted for comment. It previously told 2GB it supported vaccinations.
“The council will also be referring the practitioner to the NSW Health Care Complaints Commission for investigation as is required by law. The council cannot release any further details about this decision, including the reasons or any details about the complaints that have prompted this regulatory action,” the council said.
Anyone who dies with covid, or after having covid in the last 30 days is attributed as a covid death. That is a fact, and easy to check if a person is interested in doing so. It's why so many deaths are reported as - "five people have died with covid overnight." As opposed to - "five people have died from covid." You will hear it tomorrow if you want to listen.
I don't have that data but I've seen a few similar news reports. I'm suspicious of all claims that come out of those areas. Veracity always seems to take a back seat to politics and propaganda. I can only work on data from Australia and to a lesser degree America, England and Western Europe.
