Can you imagine it, the cabin crew on the intercom, "right everyone, masks at the ready and in three, two, one, masks on. Thankyou everyone we will inform you when we are out of NSW airspace and masks can be removed".The Idiocracy abideth... State govts trying to outclownworld each other.
It is just so fkn ridiculous.Can you imagine it, the cabin crew on the intercom, "right everyone, masks at the ready and in three, two, one, masks on. Thankyou everyone we will inform you when we are out of NSW airspace and masks can be removed".
Anecdotal....Australia is surging in vaccination rates, this article from early November, so it should be even better by now.
from the article:newsGP - Australia surges past UK, Israel, US in vaccine rollout
After a slow start, the latest vaccination figures put Australia in an enviable position in the global efforts to stop the spread of the pandemic.www1.racgp.org.au
After a slow start, the latest vaccination figures put Australia in an enviable position in the global efforts to stop the spread of the pandemic.
A greater proportion of Australia is now fully vaccinated against COVID-19 than in many countries that led the early stages of the global rollout.
This week, the percentage of Australians of any age who have received two vaccine doses overtook the UK for the first time since the vaccines became available, according to the data website CovidBaseAu.
It shows 67.26% of the entire population of any age fully vaccinated in Australia, meaning the country has now nudged past the UK proportion of residents (67.17%) who are fully inoculated.
Figures from Our World in Data also show the rate of fully vaccinated citizens in Australia increasing faster than almost anywhere else at these later stages of the program.
Sars and mers was deadlier than Covid-19, by a lot. Eventually it just mutates to something more contagious but not as deadly.The thing is, people are soon going to get fed up with booster shots every 6months for the rest of their lives, it isn't as though the vaccine is stopping people getting the virus just reducing the symptoms.
In reality those like yourself may only have to have one shot, by the time you have the vaccine, because eventually they have to run out of new strains one would think.
But hopefully before the next escapee. ?
Was looking at the latest figures from COVID Live in OZ .
Today in Victoria, there are 1510 cases, 386 in Hospital, 82 in ICU, and 43 on Ventilators.
prior to Omicron, the peaks were 2297 Cases on October 14th, 851 in Hospital on October 18th, 163 in ICU on October 16th and 103 on ventilators on October 18th.
In the NSW case, todays figures are 2213 cases , 215 in hospital, 24 in ICU, and 8 on ventilators.
At its previous peak, NSW had 1603 daily cases on September 11, 1268in hospital on September 21, 242 in ICUon September 22 and 123 on ventilators on September 20th.
The figures show that hospitalisations , ICU and ventilated patients have been consistently running at a lower rate than Victoria.
Don't know why this would be case, but its interesting.
In NSW, since dec 12 hospitalisations have gone up by 30%, but both ICU and Ventilated patients have remained stable.
In Victoria, the Hospitalisation and Icu admissions have gone up, but only a marginal rise in those on ventilators.
Maybe there is a time lag between those going into hospital versus going on ventilators and ICU.
Whatever the reasons, it would seem that whatever the virulency of the current crop of covid, the severity of the illness has dropped off significantly.
Maybe some good news there.

Seriously?Got 3 hours?
Joe Rogan interviews Dr McCullough and covers every damn thing to do with this thing.
What does this say to us?Got 3 hours?

Omricon strain?
If so, let it rip mate.
To the average person it says "dumb and dumber".What does this say to us?
Yes it will. Curiously, these are the very people that have been denied appropriate treatment, *because* of covid paranoia.Still a lot of unknowns like will it knock over those that are getting treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, heart diseases etc all which are treatable but where vaccinations are not as effective.
Australia wide suspect the numbers will be significant, with the higher infection rates it will be much harder to protect these people.
