The proles aren't availing themself to the actual data

 
Interesting the change in narrative from the blm protesters and the anti lock down protesters in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Victoria.

The lack of consistency has not gone unnoticed, Komrades.

People fighting for change vs a bunch of Karen's.
 
Nice to see the numbers come down in Victoria also interesting to see suicide hasn't increased in Victoria this year.

Its also fascinating to see that some ignore reams of evidence but seize on some outlier why is that?

Sometimes reported statistics are at significant variance to observable reality.

I have received reports of lockdown related deaths, and repeated attempts at self harm, from a number of people with whom I am well acquainted.
 
During that time, while our douche qld premier parrot in front of camera looking at her next reelection, the pregnat mum of northern nsw loose a baby as she can't access the nearest hospital on the Gold coast and is redirected with hours delay to Sydney.
90y old in final hours has spent an extra day alive on a drip line VS new born dead.
we are winning the war....
Just anecdotal but that kid's life alone was better to be saved than the 500deaths so far.do the math and odds if you want but that is my view
 
From the very start of the outbreak I have been very disappointed we did not follow the actions of the Asian countries who have been through all this before.

We're paying the price for globalisation there.

Can't wear masks when you don't have enough even for the most important things like those working in hospitals and the factories making them are offshore.

If there's one piece of good to come out of the whole sorry mess it's that it might just end that nonsense and see at least some manufacturing returned to Australia. There's more to it than just price alone - it's a matter of national security basically that we have the capability to do things here and that the Australian government can if necessary direct how that's used in a crisis situation.

It's a classic case of saving $1 then some years later the bill turns up and it's $1000. That's usually about the time those who made such decisions suddenly decide that they need to spend more time with their family.

Also sometimes referred to in different terminology in a way that anyone overhearing the conversation wouldn't realise that what was being discussed was in fact suicide.

That used to be done at least.

I like everyone expected a tragic increase but the numbers so far haven't reflected that and it may be due to the increased funding, what ever it is hopefully it will continue.

Self harm I haven't seen any figures.
 

In the early days we had China ordering their international front companies to buy as much PP stuff as possible and send it back to China.

At the same time we had WHO telling everyone not to worry about masks on the direct advice from China

Obviously, we should have been wearing masks just like China was and we do have a company in Oz that makes them.

At the time they were working a 4 day week, the Govt ordered as many masks as possible so they switched to 24/7 and can make millions of them.

It seems to me that we need a coordinated national approach, Scomo has asked many times for the states to stop "doing their own thing" but he is ignored.

The states are very keen to outdo each other in virtuous deeds, meanwhile they expect the Nation to foot the bill
