CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

We had hundreds die in Victoria at the peak of the original CoVid19 outbreak and there are conflicting reports of the Delta being more or less deadly and I think its going to be important going forward to see if this version is indeed more deadly or the virus while spreading at a greater rate is killing as many people. Hopefully the mutations will make it weaker and we have less fatalities and learn a bit more, as for Gladys she has been caught on the fence playing popularity politics vs an extreme lockdown.....no real middle ground for her. We can really only judge her when this outbreak is controlled and the number of fatalities.
The difference between her and Dan to me is the lack of ownership from Dan with regard the quarantine debacle where he botched the security and then lied about who was responsible afterwards. But that is old news and I hope the people of NSW dont have the same numbers of fatalities we did, my wife has a lot of her family in NSW and I hope Gladys gets her act together and does a better job than Dan initially did and learns from where we went wrong in Victoria.
Its not a contest we just dont want to see NSW suffer like we did in Victoria and keep their fatalities to a minimum.

Im only going by recollection, I recall Andrews being criticised for refusing ADF assistance whilst the other states like NSW did accept.

He simply couldn't recall in his testimony ... so of course, not guilty.

I'm not sure. The offical inquiry into the Victorian government covid response seemed to indicate a communication breakdown and a breakdown in the chain of command wrt to the ADF/no ADF debate. This is one of those things that is drawn along political lines, and i don't really want go there. It just ends up as a to and fro that goes nowhere.

Communication breakdown, Is that what they call it they days? All that shitfull enquiry uncovered was how rampant amnesia is in the Labour Party. Disgraceful.

Like I said, people see it through party lines. If you're anti-Labor, then it was a farce, cover up etc. He was trying to organise a state-wide covid policy in some crazy time frame (36 hours I think I read somewhere), with Lord knows how many minions to instruct, how many of those that you need to rely on to do their job, how many decisions that need to be signed off etc.

The awful death toll could have easily happened elsewhere.

A lot of people love dancing on graves, don’t they? Just watch them get outraged when we criticise Gladys over deaths in NSW. Then they’ll be saying we’re so horrible for dancing on graves.

I think you'll find, GTC, good buddy, that convenient amnesia is a pill that most pollies, regardless of being Left or Right or Moderate, take on a daily basis. Along with three other pills - 1) @rse covering, 2) everything is their fault & 3) if anything good happens, it was my doing (and I'll launch a media saturation campaign to ensure you know it).

For what, from the son of a friend who is in the Armed Services, it seems his highlight experience was mostly forming a guard of honour at politician pressers? And they apparently had a barrage of army staff preparing and delivering meals for over-run volunteers, emptying bins, and even some allegedly weeding gardens. Accepted, it may well be the army decided to do the weeding voluntarily after standing around with feck all to do for days and days on end.

Interesting times.

A massive Welcome trust multination study has just completed as part of the Recovery Initiative. 45,000+ Sars-CoV-2 infection patients, 184 sites, multiple countries, 4000+ doctors and researchers.

Some key takeaways;
. Treatments are no replacement for avoiding infection, vaccines are still the best and safest option.

- Aspirin is useless.
- Hydroxychloroquine is useless.
- Convalescent Plasma is useless.
- Azithromycin is useless.
- Colchicine is useless.
- Lopinavir-Ritonavir is useless.

+ Dexamethasone helps reduce deaths and aids recovery in up to 1/3rd of hospitalised patients.
+ Regeneron's monoclonal antibody has helped reduce death's in patients that do not have their own immune response.
+ Tocilizumab reduces deaths in patients hospitalised with COVID-19.

Some of the lead people involved in this massive study have in the recent weeks been awarded knighthoods, it's estimated the study has saved more than 1 million lives in just a few months.

112 cases ...

And we find that an infected removalist drove from NSW to Victoria and then SA before returning to Sydney where he tested positive. That’s why I’m looking on in horror and bemusement at what they’re (not) doing in NSW. It’s only a matter of time before they return us to lockdown.
