Thanks Sprint.

But most of the information in that link is a month or more out of date.

With JN.1 ripping through the population it will be interesting to see what the latest numbers are - assuming we ever get to see them of course.

As for the links to the individual States at the bottom of the link they're even more out of date or irrelevant, especially WA where their last media release (on December 20th) is about "being food safe this summer." Roll Eyes

Nothing whatsoever about Covid.

If you follow the ACT link you'll find this: Changes to ACT Government COVID-19 testing and reporting activities

Quote:

Like other jurisdictions, the ACT continues to transition the management of COVID-19 to be consistent with other notifiable diseases such as influenza.

Yes, of course. Just like the rest of the States have done. Except that SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is nothing like influenza, never has been and probably never will be. And they all know it.

thnaks, the worst of covid os over, more frequent updates are considered not necessary.

Any idea when the new vaccination is available, I'll get this one.
And my tetanus/whooping cough

Thanks JM. Good advice.

And, for all those (including a few here) who believe SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is "just a normal cold or flu" now then perhaps they could explain this?

First combination COVID-19 and influenza self-tests approved for Australia

7 September 2022

Quote:

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has approved the first two nasal combination self-tests (for use at home) that detect both COVID-19 and influenza viral infections in humans:

*TouchBio SARS-CoV-2 & FLU A/B Antigen Combo Test (Nasal)
*Fanttest COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Antigen Test Kit.

Combination self-tests are like other COVID-19 rapid antigen tests (RATs) but feature an additional line on the test cassette that indicates the presence of influenza A and B. For many consumers, distinguishing between COVID-19 and influenza is important in managing their infections.

If Covid and the flu are supposed to be the same now why is there an individual test for each?

Reminds me of that "notcovid nastiflu" that was running rampant in the UK just recently - it didn't show up on any of the regular flu tests but oddly enough it showed up on Covid tests. Roll Eyes

Latest data from Victoria...

An average of 377 people were in hospital with COVID
each day in the week to January 2, compared to 307 the
week before. The current average is the highest in recent
months but remains below the peak in May/June.

The seven-day average of ICU patients also increased
from 19 to 23.

The NSW chief health officer says the JN.1 variant is partially
to blame for the state's "highest level of COVID in a year",
while Victoria's health department says the variant has
contributed to an "increase in community transmissions
along with hospitalisations of COVID cases".

I'm not scared of Covid anymore -

I've had it twice and was only a bit ill for 2 days each time.

Still - it seems to be lethal to those in aged care homes.

thats why they are in nursing homes
gods waiting room
awaiting pneumonia
the old mans friend

i dont understand anyone who would want to hang out and linger in a nursing home
it sounds like hell

we would never allow animals to be treated that way
if i allowed an old horse with dementia that had lost control of its bodily functions and lay in its own pee to continue to suffer, i would be charged with cruelty (and rightly so)

voluntary assisted dying is going to become massive

even leftie hero trudeau is pushing it

When Canadian campaigners achieved their goal of legalising euthanasia for the terminally ill, did anyone think they would stop there? Today, six years after legalisation, pro-euthanasia activists continue to lobby for ever wider access to the ‘right to die’. And they are winning.

On 17 March 2023, Canadian law will change to make people whose sole underlying medical condition is mental illness eligible for what Canada refers to as ‘medical assistance in dying’ (MAID). MAID covers both euthanasia and assisted suicide, although the vast majority of cases in Canada are euthanasia, which means that a doctor actively ends a person’s life, rather than giving that person the means to do so him or herself.

This will be the second expansion of euthanasia since it was legalised in 2016. In March 2021, Canada made a new category of patients eligible for MAID. Before then, only those whose death is ‘reasonably foreseeable’ were eligible. ‘Track Two’, however, is available to those with a ‘serious or incurable condition’ for whom death is likely but not imminent.

And the Covid carnage continues while our pollies and the majority of the population keep their heads in the sand (or more likely up their @sses).

Australian weekly COVID-19 overview 12th January 2024 - dbRaevn

41
deaths from the 4 States that have reported, 26 of those deaths were from Victoria.

Aged care deaths continue unabated (another 32 this week) with a huge increase in outbreaks and cases.

And the Covid carnage continues....

Australian weekly COVID-19 overview 19th January 2024 - dbRaevn

69
Covid deaths reported last week from those States and Territories still providing numbers (SA is only providing (reported) weekly case numbers from now on - they're not even reporting hospitalisation numbers anymore).

54 deaths reported for Victoria. Shocked

11 deaths for WA.
3 deaths for the ACT.
1 death for Tasmania.

Cases appear to be dropping (apart from the ACT), probably due to further lack of testing, not actual case numbers dropping, of course.

The disgrace of aged care Covid cases and deaths continues with another 38 deaths added last week.

93 aged care deaths in the first 20 days of 2024.

I don't know why Denis 'tags' Anthony Albanese and Anika Wells with these numbers every week because it's obvious neither of them gives a s*it... same as nearly every other pollie in Australia.

I've seen a few people on Twitter/X lately saying they normally wouldn't wish harm upon anyone, even politicians, but it's getting to the stage where they wouldn't be upset if Karma catches up with some of these pollies very soon... and I'm inclined to agree.

Hopefully it won't be long before we see this happening in Australia:

Class-action lawsuit approved over COVID-19 outbreaks in Quebec long-term care

Quote:

A judge has approved a class-action lawsuit that accuses Quebec's health network of failing to protect long-term care centres during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and causing avoidable suffering and death to thousands of residents.

And... in Scotland...

Long Covid: NHS legal action launched by family of girl

Quote:

The mother of an 11-year-old Aberdeenshire girl with long Covid has launched a legal action against their health board, in what lawyers claim is the first case of its kind in Scotland.

Helen Goss, from Westhill, is seeking damages from NHS Grampian on behalf of her daughter, Anna Hendy.

The action claims the health board is responsible for "multiple failings" in Anna's treatment and care.

Watch out Australia... you're next.

And about time too.

this is possibly true but lets not foget that covid kills those with co'morbidities.

the fat, the diabetic, the unfit,

so if you dont want to die prematurely, work on your fitness and nutrition.

you cant escape catching covid forever.

it will infect you eventually.

personal responsibility to make yourself as healthy as possible is your best bet
