Coronavirus 5 - Last Blood

[think positive]

Oops!!!!

[Dave The Man]

Great that only 2 people in Victoria on Ventilators and 25 in ICU

Love to be 0 but sadly that won't happen for the Foreseeable Future

[stui magpie]

As predicted Dave, hospitalisations continued to decline and deaths have been following. 11 deaths recorded today in Vic but 7 of them happened in February.

We're pretty much in the phase of living with Covid now. Everything is open, masks barely required, case numbers don't matter.

But, there's still other variants out there and there will be more. I expect the 4th shot, 2nd booster to be approved soon, here's hoping that no idiot politicians try to make it mandatory for workers.

Winter should be not fun, with cold, flu and Covid all rampant, but we'll get through it. Better to be free and at risk of catching a Virus than living in a city being rained on with bombs by some nutjob dictator.

I still wear my Masks in Shops and at the Footy just to be Safe as Possible.

Been nearly 3 months since my last Jab so I agree that in next month or so they be given the Green Light for the 4th Jab. I also get Flu Jab

In Hong Kong they said Cases are Rising by Deaths become less

Unfortunately, cases are already ramping up, again. In late February, they got down under 20,000 cases per day, Australia-wide. They are presently in the 60,000s. Hopefully the uptake of booster vaccine doses will be sufficient to stop deaths ramping, again. At the moment, deaths in Australia are still comfortably over 20 per day, on average. The highest daily (seven-day rolling) average at any time last year was 15.

It's all relative, isn't it, Dave. Deaths remain way higher than at any time last year - but not as many people are dying as when the inept response to Omicron killed a few thousand people very quickly at the start of 2022. There have been 156 deaths this week. It's a quarter of what the number was at the peak in January - but way higher than in any week last year (the highest in any week in 2021 was 107). The approach of governjments seems to be that we should be relieved that things aren't as appalling as they were earlier this year, rather than concerned that they're massively higher than last year.

So if you were in charge, what would you do differently?

So would you still be Happy IF we where still in Maximum Lockdown?

Hear in 2017 or 2019 there where lot of extra Deaths when the Flu Came In but there where no outcry or Lockdown
