Does anyone know the stats ?

Are we making a big deal about this considering the world is way over populated by a factor of 14 times ??

Just let it rip and achieve herd immunity !!

In 2018, there were 158,493 deaths registered in Australia.


158,493/ 365 = 434.

434 people die every day in Australia.

most from cancer, heart disease , diabetes.

the things which arent being treated now that we have the entire health system devoted to a respiratory virus .

with chief health officers and premiers in a dick measuring competition for who can be the biggest hero .

and a media who want to make cash off all the people stuck at home living in a climate of fear.


reprehensible , disgraceful stuff.

1/2 of all chemo patients are not having their correct chemp.
breast screening and prostate screening and bowel cancer screening are at 50 %.

the leftie intellectual elite are sacrificing people so they can virtue signal about how "you cant put a price on a human life"

deplorable

So for a small number of extra people who die -
most of them whom would have died soon anyway -
Daniel Andrews has destroyed our economy for 10 years
and placed most of us into extreme poverty
that will kill more of us in the end.

All of them..........eventually.   🤣😂😁😂🤣

Yeah... but sometimes they go or go back overseas and die there. Nice joke, Dad.

An extra 18,000 people could die from cancer in England due to the coronavirus pandemic delaying diagnoses and treatment, according to a new study.

The research, carried out by scientists at University College London and the Health Data Research Hub for Cancer, found the predicted increase could also be a result of social distancing measures, and a reluctance from patients to seek medical attentiion

Cancer care in England has faced major disruption during the pandemic with big drops in numbers being seen following urgent referrals by GPs, figures show.

The number of people being assessed by a cancer doctor after referral fell to 79,500 in April - a drop of 60% compared to the same month last year.

Screening services are being put on hold
Screening services have been formally ‘paused’ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and are  effectively paused in England as invitations are not currently being sent out from screening hubs.

Screening for breast, bowel and cervical cancer can detect the disease before any symptoms show, in the early stages when treatment is more effective. But with around 200,000 people per week no longer being screened for bowel, breast and cervical cancer across the UK, there will be a significant number of early cancers left undetected before these programmes can be reintroduced.


he fact that fewer people are going to their GP with symptoms is impacting the whole diagnostic pathway. There’s been a significant drop in the number of ‘urgent referrals’ for cancer, often reported as ‘two-week wait’ figures. Overall, the number of urgent referrals has dropped to around 25% of usual levels in England.

This is largely because fewer people are going to their GP, but some GPs are also reluctant to risk sending their patients to the local hospital for fear of COVID-19 infection. But what it means is that for every week that this goes on, over 2,300 cancer cases are likely to be going undiagnosed across the UK – and these will be stacking up over time.


we’ve been hearing that patients requiring major surgery aren’t able to have it as either there are no recovery beds with ventilation, no ICU beds if surgery were to go wrong or because the surgery is just too risky for patients and staff. Unfortunately, these issues are heavily affecting those who might benefit from surgery the most, as many ‘curative’ operations are complex.

Doctors are concerned that some people with early cancers are having their treatment delayed for 3 months or more, after which time the chances that surgery can be curative become less likely.

Chemotherapy and palliative care have also been affected by COVID-19. In some cases this is because the risks were deemed too high, in others because of a lack of staff to provide even some priority therapies
