Sep 3

Australia recorded above-average numbers of deaths from cancer, dementia and diabetes in the first five months of the year, as widespread coronavirus infections increased fatalities from other causes.

theage.com.au

There were 75,593 deaths across Australia between January and May this year. The figure was 10,757 (or 16.6 per cent) higher than the average over the previous five years.

I'm deeply confused by this "advice" to stop Isolation (regarding self-quarantine during/after a COVID infection) when one is still quite clearly shedding SARS-CoV-2 virus. After all, the deaths from COVID in Australia have increased by 24 times, compared to 2020 and 2021.

We don’t need a debate about whether it should be 7 or 5 days isolation. The two day reduction will get people get back to society quicker with no meaningful increase in numbers. The conversation we need to have is when to stop mandatory isolation entirely. #auspol #COVID19Aus

It is in *your* best interest to work out *why* the WHO’s Chief Scientist would say this. COVID-19 is *not* a cold or flu virus. COVID-19 is a thrombovascular virus that is triggering recurrent, population-wide clotting events, of which heart attacks and strokes are just two.

The optimism I had that the change of Federal government in Australia would mean more protection for the vulnerable & all of us from acute & chronic COVID19 has evaporated. Same health advisors, same priorities, same outcomes = more disease. Under 5’s still unvaxxed. Shame.

According to overseas studies, the reduction of the isolation period from 7 to 5 days means that of the 13,232 new COVID-19 cases reported today, around 6,500 will be infectious on Day 5 when they will take the virus to their workplaces, schools and shops where few wear masks.

This country is a joke.
