Wow, in one fell swoop you just avoided and dismissed every point I've raised, and ignored every question I've asked. I really thought that the purpose of any debate, was to find the truth from the convergence of facts. And, NOT more parroted editorials from your special echo chamber.

I'm confused about the Australians Against Covid. Are they being prevented from wearing masks, distancing themselves, vaccinating themselves, or even isolating themselves? What exactly are their concerns? Don't they believe that vaccines, masks, handwashing, and distancing, will protect them from this virus? 

What exactly do they expect the Government to do against a virus? Clearly, all of the government's mandates have done more harm to the Australian society, than any virus could ever do. At least the prochoice marchers had a valid reason for their protest. Their medical decision-making rights were taken away from them.

They were being FORCED/COERCED to comply with all government protocols, OR ELSE(loss of their freedoms,  jobs, and their individuality)! Give any government the power to control the lives of the populace, and you'll just open the door for even more intrusive abuses.

I thought the media WAS reporting the daily Covid-19 deaths, and the number of Covid cases! Why aren't the media reporting the deaths, that are directly related to idiotic lifestyle choices(smoking, drinking, drugs, and overeating)? Why is a disease with a less than a 1% mortality rate(in Australia), deserving of this level of attention?

As long as he is not symptomatic or is wearing a mask, he's of no threat to your health. Also, you can always wear a mask, be vaccinated, and keep your distance from him to be safe, right?

Since we couldn't get everyone in Australia to wear a mask, there's not much hope for the rest of the world doing any better. Also, are you implying that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, doesn't exist indoors? It's ironic that direct exposure to the OUTDOOR sun can actually destroy this virus. And, that almost all documented transmissions of this virus have occurred INDOORS. So, what do we do? We drive people indoors with poor ventilation, where the virus can thrive, and then tell them to take their masks off. Go figure!

Again, masks do not vacuum seal themselves over your face. There are gaps along the sides of the masks for the virus to enter. The virus can also enter through your eyes(nasolacrimal ducts). You would also need a mask that is 99.9999% effective to prevent this virus from infecting you. No such mask exists. And, when you remove your mask when indoors(or when eating and drinking), what do you think the virus is doing then? Waiting for you to put your mask back on??

At the end of the day, there is NOTHING that man can do that will reduce, or prevent anyone from being infected by this virus. How do you eradicate a microorganism that isn't even alive? Smallpox is the only virus thought to be eradicated. But, the smallpox virus is a virus specific to humans only. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a Zoonotic virus.

So, unless you're planning on killing all the animal reservoirs(host) for this virus(dogs, cats, bats, ferrets, hamsters, deer, mice, non-human primates, Guiney pigs, etc.), eradication is just an irrational and impossible dream. 

Anyway, just my two cents worth.

flip page.

yeah, pretty mild carl

lots more people in hospital with diabetes which is a self inflicted disease

*Carl reads aqua's silly posts and then checks*

Nope, I still can't find where I've given our governments or anyone else my permission to be infected (repeatedly) with a Level 3 Biohazard, brain and multiple organ damaging bat virus with only slightly effective vaccines for protection.

"Slightly effective" mainly because this virus is still popping out new vaccine and antiviral evading variants faster than Sir Nail can pop out his ridiculous antivaxxer posts here at OzPol.

And that's what happens when you give a virus such as this one almost unlimited freedom to spread and multiply which is what Australia and most Western countries are now doing.

Speaking of vaccines again - when are those of us who are now overdue for a 5th dose (3rd booster) going to be able to get it? Can't really keep running this "vaccines only then let Covid rip" s***show (but now minus the vaccines) for much longer with the hospitalisation and death numbers heading skywards Australia wide.

https://covidlive.com.au/

104,376 (reported) new cases this week and 118 more deaths. I have a feeling this much hoped for "short, sharp wave" won't be over before Christmas.

Edit: Actually, it's

133

deaths because Covid Live haven't reported Queensland's 15 Covid deaths for this week as of the time I'm posting this.

Oh, and have a read of this. I just have and I'm angry too. As I'm sure many people around Australia are right now.

Seriously - you couldn't make this stuff up.

Fancy all of those immunologists catching Covid at a conference where they were discussing Covid (maskless).

How embarrassing it must be for them. 

I'm sure there's going to be many more to add to the ones I've shown below.

Oh, and...
