CV and mad panic behaviour

[PaulP]

That’s the sort of claptrap analysis that encourages people to flaunt the precautions introduced in line with the recommendations of the chief health officers  >

It’s unclear who the author is (two names are given) and there’s no suggestion that they have any qualifications - relevant or otherwise.

Yes, was thinking much the same. It's best to listen to the Michael Osterholms of this world IMO.

So much bad info and horrendous assumptions in the Ginn article, a clearer case of Dunning Kruger you won't find!

Ginn or whoever is ultimately responsible for feeding him such rubbish should head over to Northern Italy, we can use his visit as a test case and then use his potential demise to nominate him for a Darwin Award!

Im not the greatest fan of 60 mins but last night, they had a story which showed a hospital in Cremona Italy. It was heartbreaking listening to the nurses and doctors speaking.

Which is why the rest of us should be intolerant to those claiming COVID-19 is a hoax or beat up!

(btw. Another media disinformation/misinformation, COVID-19 is the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus, COVID-19 is not the virus but the illness caused by it! The inversion of those two labels is a major reason some are getting facts wrong.)

I'm critical of the media for causing hysteria, because they aren't doing their job, much of what you see broadcast is pissweak downhill skiing that results in things like panic buying of poo tickets in a country that makes the stuff!

If you want to be a journalist, your job is to filter out the bullcrap, fact check and verify everything with recognised authorities on the subject at hand. Not to propagate rumours and cause panic!

If you listen to that video linked by mbb, Osterholm was saying that the hospitals in Italy have already reached the point where they have to decide who to save and who to let go. They simply cannot attend to all the cases.

I don't doubt for one second that COVID-19 is real and that people are dying from it. What I am worried about is how this pandemic may be used/hijacked as an opportunity to further other agendas and that these may be pursued through the MSM. Be very wary of what you may read and try to cross check against multiple trusted source imo. Trusted sources of course is a big question in itself......

I'd like to know who was responsible for letting the Ruby Princess disembark passengers,  a significant number of which were infected, who then scattered across the country.

Thats a disaster and community breakdown, cruise ships are about as bad as it gets  with regards spreading illness, all those idiot backpackers and beach clowns who were at Bondi as well need a rocket as they have also spread the virus.
We should have had lockdowns earlier and the police/military enforcing areas like beaches, docks etc....

There is no doubt agendas are at play here, Dan Andrews (Labor) goes against Scomo (Liberal) on schools despite all the information from the health ministers and Chief Medical Officer of Australia. Tell me that aint political.
