Some perspective on Covid deaths.
Sep 27th, 2021 at 7:24am
 
This is interesting -

the 2017 flu epidemic in Australia was worse than Covid:
Number of Covid deaths after 18 months in Australia 1,231.

But in only 12 months:
Number of Influenza deaths in 2017 Australia 1,255.

https://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/Lookup/by%20Subject/3303.0~2017~Main%20...

And.

In 2019,   4,124 people died of flu and pneumonia.

I've just double checked the total Covid19 death number in Australia:

Total Covid19 deaths in Australia : 1231 <---- since 2019 to date.

So it's quite clear that the death rate is nowhere near as awful.

Yes - it is less than the deaths from other years.
Go figure?

The entire country wasn't forced into extreme lockdown either.

It almost seems that we have been frightened too much about Covid.
In my opinion Dictator Dan has over reacted to it.
We have been locked down longer than any other place in the entire world.

I feel like I’m losing all my friends due to not seeing them.

I'm still trying to understand HOW the nutter got another term down there as Premier.

He's an abomination to Australia's political system.

Dunno Booby. I have never known nor heard of anyone dying of flu. Not one. Yet I can count 7 people I either knew or have met who have died of Covid just this year.

Dan has surrounded himself with yes men and brown nosing sycophants.
No one is there to tap him on the shoulder and say stop.
Even the journalists at his almost daily broadcasts
are hand picked so they don't ask hard questions.
Registered journalist Avi Yemini tried to get into that media circus once
and the cops kept him at least 150 meters away.

Now we have mostly peaceful protestors brutally
beaten by cops with the media egging them on.
Even the so called media is all on Dan's side.

I have known plenty of people who died in
nursing homes from pneumonia  -
a complication of the common flu.

Despite Horrifying State Violence, Brave Australians Continue to Resist COVID Police State


September 25, 2021


Multiple videos have surfaced since last weekend showing Australian militarized police in tactical gear, opening fire on unarmed citizens for simply being outside.

   
One of the most disturbing videos captured the scene at the Shrine of Remembrance protest on Tuesday, during which hundreds of militarized police opened fire on completely peaceful protesters who simply wanted their voices to be heard.

I still don't understand all this hate towards Daniel Andrews?

Was he the one responsible for allowing Covid (especially the Delta variant) to arrive in Australia and (predictably) escape?

Even all the hate towards Gladys Berejiklian in NSW isn't really justified although she made things a whole lot worse by not locking down quickly in June which was responsible for the huge outbreaks we're now seeing in NSW and Victoria.

No... the person who is really responsible for this entire Covid mess (and all the deaths resulting from it) is currently on another 'World Tour' which will hopefully be his last before he gets the boot in the upcoming Federal election.

The truth is that a respiratory illness was usually looked upon as a blessing

It used to be referred 2 as

The old man's friend

Despite what some people think
Human beings are not immortal

What would you like to take you out

Some horrible cancer that eats away at your bones for six months
Or a respiratory illness where you die much more peacefully

I know which one I would be choosing

Explain why we in Victoria have been locked down
longer than any other place in the entire world?
Do you think it might have something to do with Dan?

I believe most normal people would prefer to choose option 3:

Neither.

It's almost as if death is illegal.
We are prepared to destroy the economy
if we can give 80 and 90 year old people an extra few months of life.
