Yes, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) still hasn't gone away and people are still dying every week.

Another 70
deaths reported last week (even with several States no longer reporting deaths).

https://nitter.net/BigBadDenis/status/1715255443541709073#m

Quote:

🇦🇺Australia's weekly reported COVID numbers: 20 October 2023

🔸Deaths: 70 (+19)
🔸Cases: 5,228 (+96)

🔹NSW: 1,541 / 19
🔹VIC: 1,211 / 30
🔹SA: 862 / NR
🔹QLD: 749 / 14
🔹TAS: 355 / 1
🔹ACT: 298 / 0
🔹WA: 212 / 6
🔹NT: Updated fortnightly

NR = Not Reported

Cases also on the way up again even though RATs are no longer reported, PCR tests are almost impossible to get and hardly anyone is testing anyway.

Quote:

Did National Cabinet take a secret decision last week to stop reporting RAT tests across Australia?

Looks like it

Another attempt by @AlboMP to deliberately obfuscate data on COVID prevalence in Australia

COSTING $25B+ pa

What’s next?

Funny you should ask that, Tim.

Next up is the total removal of reporting of ALL Covid information, starting with New South Wales:

Quote:

From 20 October 2023 this NSW COVID-19 weekly update will no longer be published on NSW Health’s website and social media channels. The best indicators of COVID-19 activity in the community at this time are emergency department presentations for COVID-19 and sewage surveillance.

Soon to be followed by the rest of the States, no doubt.

What's the bet that Queensland will be next? Especially with that buffoon of a CHO, aquascoot's hero Dr. Gerrard running things there.

Quote:

Lex Luthor is in charge of Qld’s health

Expect a lot of death

Sadly, yes. And Lex Luthor is a fitting description of this clown.

Actually, "Lex" has been a bit quiet lately (which isn't such a bad thing). Is he now keeping a low profile because he's embarrassed with being wrong about Covid all the time?

COVID drug helps bring back sense of smell
Clinical-trial data suggest that an antiviral pill called ensitrelvir is among the first treatments for COVID-19 that helps the sense of smell and taste return more quickly after infection. For now, ensitrelvir is available only in Japan (under the brand name Xocova) but it is under fast-track review in the United States. “When the Omicron variants became dominant, the loss of taste and smell started to become less and less common,” says infectious-disease specialist Amesh Adalja. “But it still occurs, and it is a distressing symptom.”

Original paper:
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03244-7

Wow that’s good!
It’s taken the good part of the whole of last year to regain my smell/taste.
Everything smelt like coffee.
Couldn’t even smell my different perfumes!
Worst part is not knowing if food is off so had to be very careful.

But that’s good news to know there’s an anti viral drug to help regain smell/taste.
It’s not just COVID that can affect those senses…. I had a sinus infection before all that COVID jazz….and I lost sense of taste/smell for a month!
So glad it came back.
Then COVID got me!
But…. since my antibodies have formed from all that I’m good as gold for nearly 2 years now… not a cough, cold, flu or sniffle since! I’m elated!

Another 69
(reported) Covid deaths for Australia last week.

https://nitter.net/BigBadDenis/status/1717770666236408228#m

Cases on the way up again (even with PCR tests only, no RATs).

At least Victoria is admitting it.

https://nitter.net/VicGovDH/status/1717786145193423095#m

Quote:

Community transmission of COVID is increasing across Victoria.

This is an expected part of the ongoing evolution of COVID in the community, as our immunity wanes with time.

Quote:

Replying to @VicGovDH
It is not only our immunity that wanes over time.

It is also our trust in our State governments and departments that wanes over time due to misinformation and disinformation.

Yes.

And, the esteemed Dr. Berger is spot on... as usual.

https://nitter.net/YouAreLobbyLud/status/1717806186702242095#m

Quote:

"Community transmission of COVID is increasing across Victoria. This is an expected part of the ongoing evolution of COVID in the community, as our immunity wanes with time."

Oh. I thought there was going to be ever increasing hybrid immunity. I demand my money back!

I'd like mine back as well... I wonder if aquascoot has had a reply from "Lex Luthor"/"Dr. Death" yet? Maybe he can provide an answer for Dr. Berger? Roll Eyes

Meanwhile, in NSW...

https://nitter.net/NSWHealth/status/1717375558491770970#m

Quote:

With COVID-19 cases increasing in the community, some people, including people at higher risk of severe illness, may choose to wear a mask to protect themselves, such as when in indoor settings or on public transport. Be kind and considerate of someone’s choice to wear a mask.

At least they're also admitting Covid cases are increasing.

Dr. Berger's thoughts on that one:

https://nitter.net/YouAreLobbyLud/status/1717723594774683979#m

Quote:

As the ninth COVID wave grows, @NSWHealth doesn't say "wear masks". It says "please don't be beastly to the people who wear masks", like they're anxiously wringing their hands and begging the bully not to beat up the spotty kid.

This is what passes for public health in 2023.

Sadly, yes.

And now... on top of the States slowly but surely stopping the reporting of all Covid cases, hospitalisations and deaths the Federal data is going to be reported monthly from now on:

https://nitter.net/dbRaevn/status/1717696575840129118#m

Quote:

Federal COVID-19 reporting is moving to a monthly reporting schedule, with today being the final weekly report. The next report is expected 10th November 2023.

The replies say it all, in my opinion.

And with all of that I would also like to announce that this is my final post in this section of the forum.

The reasons are:

1. The slow but sure 'hiding' of Covid information by the States and now the move to monthly reporting by the Federal government.

How are people expected to use "personal responsibility" and "assess their own risks" without the information to do so? Even if they were capable of doing that which the majority are not (i.e. they don't give a stuff mainly because they're clueless)?

2. It would appear no one reading any of these posts gives a stuff anymore judging by the number of replies lately (not counting those by idiots like aquascoot) and let's face it... this place is a bigger 'echo chamber' than Twitter/X is these days. I may as well "talk" to the walls.

Good luck everyone... you're on your own now with another huge Covid wave now engulfing Australia and the total abandonment of public health by our governments.

Another brilliant job @AlboMP @Mark_Butler_MP
Hospitalisations up 15% across the country in 1 week. Cases up 30% with less testing, new quick speed wave and you change reporting. Loving that transparency you promised before election.

Bullseye!

But hey... Christmas is just around the corner... don't forget to spend up big... our governments and businesses will love you (or at least love your purses and wallets) for that.

Will the last person to leave this section please turn out the lights. Thanks.

carl

you have gone down a weird hypochondriac rabbit hole

some people have an extreme fear of flying

they probably post news articles about air crash disasters and think CASA are full of shonks

some people have an extreme fear of sharks

they probably go online and whinge about the lack of shark nets and how the government arent "keeping us safe'

its just your perspective and it is not shared by the vast majority.

how do we know it isnt?

because if it was, the media and the government would be all over it.

you want to get with the times

you should have been stressing over the ukraine and then the voice and now the palestinians

you risk being chucked out of the leftie cult

Judge Calls Out Trump Lawyers Who Asked for COVID Delay—But Won’t Wear Masks

Judge Engoron denied a request from Chris Kise, one of Donald Trump’s attorneys, who asked for former president’s New York fraud trial to be postponed because members of the attorney general’s legal team have tested positive for COVID.

Kise said he was sitting away from the AG’s table Tuesday to avoid catching COVID and complained about his opponents’ lack of notification, saying that “the leading candidate for president of the United States in this courtroom today,” and griping “I don't think we should really be here today.”

Another Trump lawyer, Alina Habba, said she did not want to use the same microphone as the AG’s office.

Judge Engoron said that the trial would proceed as planned, clapping back at the request: “Masks are available. We are going to proceed.” A spokesperson for the AG’s office said later that it had followed the CDC’s guidelines, adding: “if there were any concerns, defendants could wear masks today or at any point, but they have opted not to.”

You stick out your arm, take your vax and say ah when they stick something in your mouth.

With any luck, you'll get a lollipop when you're done.

Statistically that can be true. It's been known since
day one that the vaccine(s) will not protect everybody
100% from contracting COVID, but what they will do
is decrease the severity of the infection, and usually
stop you needing hospitalisation.

catching a disease twice after 3 vaccines doesnt sound like the definition of a vaccine to most "real" australians
