Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

[Tipp blue]

They didn’t prioritise lunatic. People weren’t just sitting off in a hospital bed. They needed urgent care. Ventilators, oxygen, intensive care.

The alternative was to leave these people to die or delay other, less acute issues.

My mum was diagnosed, treated and recovered completely of a serious illness during lockdown btw so that can’t have been prioritising Covid exclusively.

10000 extra deaths in April 2020 compared to previous years, people with dementia during covid dying but not with covid.. these people were denied family the visits they rely on this article is from June 2020 covering just 1 month how many more have died since then? Perhaps even as many as have dies with covid.. Overreaction

Thousands of people with dementia dying or deteriorating – not just from coronavirus as isolation takes its toll

Alzheimer’s Society calls on the Government to put people with dementia at heart of lockdown solution, as devastating impact of isolation on health is revealed. Survey of 128 care homes reveals nearly 80% have seen a deterioration in the health of their residents with dementia due to lack of...

Have we had the Euros/freedom day spike yet lads?

Now we are getting down to it, Why did they prioritise covid? Why stop/reduce treating other diseases to treat covid, GPs stopped seeing patients and were attempting to diagnose over the phone, people suffering from depression and other mental health problems had to stay at home and had to make do with greatly reduced contact which is the exact opposite of what would be advised for someone with fragile mental health to do.
The true scale of the overreaction will begin to be seen in a few years and I'm fully convinced that there will be people on here that are arguing with me now saying this should never have been allowed to happen..

All I can suggest is that you watch the hot dog man crash sketch - it might help you to understand things.

Cases seem to be quite steady, deaths don’t appear to be shooting rapidly though the averages are

I'm not a hospital CEO, but I play one on the internet....

Sim hospital?

Sim hospital?

Two Point Hospital, most likely. Have heard good things about it. Haven't played it.

Good on the New Yorker for the hilarious sign.

Liked the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs hanging the vaccination mandate on readiness. That's hard for a grunt to argue with.

And more news from the Australian Vaccine 'Stroll Out.'
Sadly, yesterday a 90 year old woman in a care home died of the Delta Strain - she was not vaccinated
How on earth at this late stage of the game...even by slow Australian standards...how the absolute 'k
Had that poor woman not had at least one jab of some sort.

Meanwhile the Minister of 'Jam Tommorrow', who, coincidentally, is also the Prime Minister
States (gist) there will be plenty of Pfizer soon...erm, by soon we actually mean Christmas...ish.
But there will be Moderna For everybody...in a month...or so...ish.

Maybe that lady was not vaccinated because she did not want to. It might be her own fault. Not defending the vaccine roll out here as it has been a shambles. Hopefully it does improve over the next couple of months.

tbh, that thought did cross my mind, but we'll never know.
But I was just repeating from the 6 O'clock TV News...so in true journalistic fashion I went ahead because it suited my agenda.

And that folks shows how easy it is to write for the modern day media.

...next couple of months - try 5,6 or 7.
But, when it suits them Governments can get 80% of the adult population to all turn out on the same day at the local school to put an 'X' in a box

 

[degsy]

NSW Premier has just been asked - how long will you wait before imposing an outright curfew in the areas where people are not taking the lockdown seriously...shes dancing around the answer, seems to me she'd like too but doesn't fancy the backlash and keeps...quite rightly...pushing the vaccination mantra.
But some, enough, people are taking no notice of the spirit of the law.

Asshat is also trying to recruit out-of-state healthcare workers to fill the gap in workforce due to rise in hospital admissions from COVID infections (almost exclusively among the unvaccinated).

The man ponders to the base with one hand and reaches out for help dealing with reality using the other. Perhaps his arms will be ripped from his shoulders. Maybe then he will have a moment of clarity and find a conscience?

Seriously. Can you imagine being this sociopathically ambitious?

 

[Prevenger17]

It will be a great laugh, especially when the doctors and nurses you worked with for 9 years, have to stand in front of a family maybe a woman in her late 30s 2 children one 7 the other 5 and tell them that their husband father has terminal cancer that could have been treated but we were busy with covid and he wasn't diagnosed on time..

The man has been in a wheelchair for decades and still has no conscience or compassion for other people’s needs. Absolute sociopath just like all the others.
