You know that covid can spread like wildfire, you know that it only takes a few selfish inconsiderate people to do great damage despite best practice policies from governments. You know that there are many players and stakeholders involved in successful management of something like this. There's no point in giving a blow by blow account of what went down. It's already been covered earlier in this thread.
Do we know that really?
Sure, that is what the media (and even LP) tell us, but what do the numbers tell us?
Yesterday in NSW, in the midst of the 'hyper contagious' Delta strain, 82 out of 48,754 test came up positive (and I won't revisit the flaws in the PCR test again - https://swprs.org/the-trouble-with-pcr-tests/ - other than to say it appears all States have been running the test at Ct amplification rates far in excess of what is reasonable).
82 of 48,754 = 0.17%
1 old lady died (condolences), but on average 460 odd folk die each and every day in this country. Perspective!
The simple fact is that CV19 is remarkably (far more than flu) targeted to hammer the older age demographics - and no one else - under 50, it's neither here nor there - see chart.
There are presently 112 folk in hospital, 18 in ICU.
Yet in the last bad flu season, 2019, there were 250 odd folk in ICU.
Meanwhile, in the UK, one of the highest vaxx populations, globally, case numbers are exploding - over 30,000 now compared to 600 odd the same time a year ago.
Out of 257 people to die from the DELTA Variant, 92 were unvaxxed, 47 Single vaxxed and 118 Double vaxxed.
Hmmm. Draw your own conclusions.
Over in the US, VAERS reported vaccine related deaths tops 9,000.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
