Another 8 "historical" deaths for WA since yesterday.

https://twitter.com/MarkMcGowanMP/status/1518777549739814912

That's 116
deaths since the border opened 2 months ago (remember we only had 9 deaths for 2 years up until then).

Oh, and Mark... it doesn't look good for you when you're still not allowing comments on your daily reports.

And... the gutless wonder has finally sold out to business just like the rest of the State Premiers did.

https://twitter.com/MarkMcGowanMP/status/1518825562835685376

"Soft landing" my @ss. 116 avoidable deaths (so far). And, let's not mention Long Covid or the increasing cases of hepatitis in childen overseas who have had Covid.

Gutless wonder because he's still blocking replies to his announcements and I've also heard he had to suddenly "rush off" from his press conference when reporters started asking questions.

You've now lost what little respect I still had left for you, Mark. And, I suspect an awful lot of West Australians feel exactly the same way.

Amen, sister.

Oh, and God help anyone who tries to harrass me or my elderly aunt when we keep wearing our masks whenever we're out of the house (which will be happening even less now than what it was already).

Mark caved in on that one a few months back.

Probably because he was worried about potential lawsuits from bottle shop staff who were being abused and even physically assaulted by the unvaxxed.

Some people believe the reason why McGowan has caved in and removed the mask mandate as of this Friday is because he's worried that keeping masks will cost Labor votes in the upcoming Federal election.

I can believe that.

Doesn't matter that he's throwing the elderly and vulnerable under the Covid bus, of course.

Well, Labor has lost my vote in the upcoming election. In fact, I will never vote for either of the two main parties ever again. As someone once said - they're just the left and right wings of the same turkey.

My vote will be going to an Independent and I will be advising everyone I speak to from now until the election to do the same.

I completely agree with you (and Labor aren't getting my first preference in this election) however, your vote will ultimately go to the major party you put second last on the ballot paper (assuming you put the other one last).

Thanks, Greg.

Actually, I may even go back to voting for the 'Informal Party' like I used to do many years ago.

Meanwhile, the WA Covid deaths and cases continue to climb.

https://twitter.com/7perth/status/1519170167431110656

Quote:

Western Australia has now recorded 129 COVID-19 deaths in 2022. Modelling released in February predicted 129 deaths over 180 days. WA has achieved this after just 64 days, some 116 days sooner than expected.

So much for the "modelling" (which in itself was completely unacceptable to me and many others, I'm sure).

No wonder Mark McGowan has disabled replies for 'his' daily Covid reports on Twitter for the past week.

Also, one has to wonder how many deaths are occurring at home seeing as New South Wales is the only State releasing this information at the moment. Sort of.

Most health departments not tracking COVID home deaths

Only one state health department publicly releases the number of COVID deaths that occur in the home, with the majority limiting information to hospital fatalities.

Quote:

Aged care deaths – which have risen sharply in 2022 – are also tallied weekly to provide a more complete and transparent view of the situation.

But as it stands, only one health department in the country – New South Wales – is publicly releasing the number of COVID deaths that have occurred in the home – albeit in an inconsistent fashion with a lag of at least five days.

All other states and territories either do not track the information (ACT, South Australia, Northern Territory, Western Australia, Queensland) or do not release it publicly (Tasmania) due to patient privacy concerns. Victoria, meanwhile, responded to a newsGP query by stating that its data team would need ‘several days’ to look into the information request but never provided a figure.

As a consequence, there is no way of knowing how many people are dying at home due to COVID, potentially without access to the type of care they need.

Shocking.

That "minor respiratory virus" has just killed another 49 Australians in the past 24 hours.

https://covidlive.com.au/

Including another 7 here in WA.

If things keep going the way they are there will be 10,000
or more Covid deaths in Australia by the end of the year.

And you're perfectly OK with that, are you?

While you're thinking... here's something else to ponder:

Did you genuinely believe a virus whose closest relative is SARS1 would turn into a cold?

Did you?
