Dear Paradox78,

When will you lot ever learn, if you are going to attempt to ham something up you really need to get your facts straight.

You claim; “liver cancer is a leading cause of death here”.

Well no it isn't. Lung cancer has three times the toll. Next comes colorectal cancer, then pancreatic cancer, then breast cancer, then cancers of unknown primary site.

That isn't to say that increased alcohol consumption isn't a cause for concern but if we are judging things in this manner then it would need to be weighed up with the huge drop in flu deaths due to better hygiene practices.

The fact that we still have people in this country who claim lockdowns don't work despite the evidence outside their front doors show that TDS is still alive and well. Facts simply do not matter to some.

SR,

And the next panacea-for-all will be vaccines. Yes, eventually they will do a marvellous job, we all should get vaccinated. But how long do people think it may take to vaccinate everybody, while the virus still rages ? A million shots a day in the US means a couple of years. I'm sure that the Halfwit-Hero thought it would all be done in a few weeks - if it was necessary at all, of course. Since, as a Hero, he got over his in two days, it really was only for weak people.

And another problem: People who have been vaccinated may still be carrying the virus. 90 % of the population could be vaccinated AND still be carriers, mixing with the 10 % who aren't, or won't get, vaccinated.

So the infection rate - and ensuing death rate - won't come down substantially for many months yet, and will still be high in a year's time. Then it might plummet.

How to avoid catching the virus in the meantime if you haven't been vaccinated? Wear a mask and socially distance.

Of course, if people still believe the virus is a hoax, or they're banking on the mythical 'herd immunity', or they're more concerned with making money than their health (or anybody else's), then they should go for it - mix and cuddle as much as they like. That might help strengthen the gene pool :)

Opinion,

China might just be using the might of the State and lying as well.

Is Mise,

Doesn't matter because Foul-Mouth is going to tell how China managed to suppress it so easily compared to the experiences in the rest of the world.

"Lockdowns Do Not Work"

Of course they don't work. I've been saying that since last April. There's been plenty of literature on it.

Now we have WHO saying it.

Now we have peer-reviewed science saying (although those who preen themselves on 'following-the-science' will miraculously decide there there is some science you don't follow).

But why now? Why not back when it became obvious the lockdowns were a placebo?

Well, the virus and the lockdowns have done their job - get rid of the bad Orange Man. It was always about the left regaining power. If that meant destroying lives, destroying economies, well so be it.

But now that that's been done, suddenly we find out the lockdowns weren't needed after all.

Literally 1 hour after Xiden became the figurehead of the new government, WHO was advising that their approved testing method was showing too many false-positives. So of course that'll mean less cases and therefore less deaths attributed to the virus. Presto, less covid deaths. The CDC is also talking about changing their 'death-by-covid' rules with the result being fewer deaths attributed to the virus.

Now we have Xiden, or his speech-writers, who once said.."We're eigth months into this pandemic and Trump still doesn't have a plan to get this virus under control...I do" is now saying..." There's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months." The usual dolts were duped and they won't even realise it.

Now several of the Democrat states that had the strictest lockdowns before 20/1/21 are finding that's its OK to open up the economy. They can and did brazenly lie about all of this because they were talking to people who wanted to be lied to

Here in Queensland we should all be thankful to the Palaszczuk Labor government for their recent decisive action in implementing a short 3 day lockdown in Brisbane which avoided an outbreak of the more severe Pommy virus.

Mhaze, you were wrong from the start with your notions concerning the virus. Your claims that it wasn't serious, it will go away with herd immunity, it will be gone by Easter, Sweden is doing a fantastic job, etc, nonsense you quoted from the "medical" almanac of the Dangerous Doctor Donald, well, I see you're still at it.
