Ok now work it out as a percentage of their own category.36 dead yesterday … 33 vaxxed…
Don’t hold your breath mate. @AlzzBulldog is famous for dropping in random comments and when challenged disappears like a fart into the wind…Ok now work it out as a percentage of their own category.
Bricky tried the "raw number game" yesterday... failed miserably.
And if you wouldn't mind. Just curiously. You wouldnt be relying on 1 day of data to support your argument would you?
I think we’re due for a dose of perspective.Ok now work it out as a percentage of their own category.

Great post mate. Well doneI think we’re due for a dose of perspective.
I can feel the mood at the moment.
Everyone could do with a bit of positivity.
And frankly - some of the alarmism about coronavirus is over the top.
Yes, we know it’s not to be ignored.
We know we have to get vaccinated and take precautions.
But we’re sick of the doomsday predictions.
NSW is not in a crisis.
We’re not in lockdown.
We are learning to live with the virus.
Some people have short memories.
Vaccines were our ticket to freedom.
Our leaders promised we would get our lives back, if we got the jab.
Restrictions were supposed to ease at 80% double dose.
NSW is now at almost 95%.
But it seems some people want the goal-posts moved again.
It sounds like they'd prefer another year locked up at home.
Well that’s up to them.
But I’m very keen to move on with my life.
The whole point of the vaccine was to treat COVID like the flu.
Case numbers are meant to now be irrelevant.
What really matters is - hospitalisations and intensive care.
Right now there are 339,000 people with coronavirus in NSW.
More than 99% are mild enough to be treated from home.
Omicron is highly contagious, but it’s the mildest COVID strain yet.
Up to 5 times weaker than Delta.
We spoke to the South African doctor who discovered Omicron in November.
Dr Angelique Coetzee described Omicron as “very mild” with a “low chance of hospitalisation”... even in the unvaccinated.
She told us that on day 1!
In NSW your chances of dying from coronavirus is 0.1%
The odds of going to hospital is 0.8%
The odds of ending up in intensive care is 0.05%
And our obsession with COVID has seen us lose sight of far more sinister diseases.
There’s new data out from the Bureau of Statistics.
Last year between January and October… 125,000 Australians passed away.
Coronavirus represented, just 1.3% of our deaths.
1,671 in total.
Almost 75% of our COVID victims had underlying health issues.
But in the same period that COVID killed 1,671.
41,000 Australians from cancer.
13,000 from Dementia and Alzheimer’s
11,600 from heart disease.
7,000 from strokes and brain aneurisms.
4,000 from diabetes.
2,500 from suicide.
1,800 from drug overdoses.
And almost 2,000 from accidental falls.
Or to break it down even further.
Yesterday- NSW Health reported the death of 17 people with coronavirus.
Again, absolutely tragic for the families of those who died.
But here’s the reality check.
On the same day 17 people died from coronavirus in NSW - an estimated 136 Australians died of cancer.
There are serious health issues that have been neglected - because of our one track mind about COVID.
A disease with a death rate in Australia… of 0.1%
Ergo a pandemic of accidental falls
Yup. Look at the non-argument covid thread. I agree.I think we’re due for a dose of perspective.

Oh you mean the echo chamber thread?Yup. Look at the non-argument covid thread. I agree.
But it has nothing to do with my post.
My response was to Alzz' post and what he is insinuating
No. I dont play the raw numbers game.Oh you mean the echo chamber thread?
Thought you wanted to play the raw numbers game?
Probably not. It's full blown spread now. Lockdown would have very little effect.Will a two week lockdown fix anything?
I don't think the Government want the economy affected.
Shame all previous efforts have gone to waste.

By far the most sensible post I’ve seen you make on this topic - well done. I don’t know anyone who lives in fear.Yes some are overly cautious but pretty much everyone I know including me just exercise common sense and are getting on with our lives.I think we’re due for a dose of perspective.

Pretty concise and rational statement which goes back to my point a few 1000 posts ago, when does the Govt drop using the Public Health Act to implement actions? Govts with a green light to do whatever they want forever never ends well.I think we’re due for a dose of perspective.

Really surprised by this. There's no way BU wrote this. Unless...
Run out of weed?
I'm waiting for Rod to say herpin is owned by pfizerConspiracy - how dare they do a study on a existing medication that is easily available
Blood thinner could be used to treat and stop transmission of COVID-19
Initial results of an Australian study indicate the drug Heparin could be “a promising treatment” and also “a possible preventative against the virus” when inhaled.www.smh.com.au
