How many more deaths are there now in comparison of three years ago ?

Paul1405,

mhaze, like Foul-Mouth and a lot of others, has been brainwashed by the Chinese into trying to direct responsibility for the pandemic away from China.

What they would like to see is not Lockdown but Un-Lockdown.

Some on OLO, do not require "locking down" they require "looking up"!

Indy, what is the point of your question. Like saying Australian road fatalities have declined from over 3,000 per year in the 1980's to about 1,200 now. Therefore an easing of road safety rules is justified. It has been because of Australia's tough and decisive action that the death toll from Covid-19 is relatively low here.

Paul,

"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."

Second that.

Paul said I said : " it will go away with herd immunity"

Well it will.

Paul said I said : "it will be gone by Easter"

Not true. As in an utter lie.

Paul said I said : "Sweden is doing a fantastic job"

Not true.As in an utter lie.

Paul said I said :" you quoted from the "medical" almanac of the Dangerous Doctor Donald"

Not true.As in an utter lie.

None of that is true. Paul responds to my data with lies.

Standard Paul there. He's the very caricature of a committed Stalinist - lies are fine if the end is virtuous.

"Well, the virus and the lockdowns have done their job - get rid of the bad Orange Man".

True. Trump would have romped back in had it not been for the use of the China virus - not forgetting the corruption of course. There is also evidence - in a scientific paper that was quickly removed for the public gaze - that virus made no difference to the average annual death rate in the US.

Biden's 100 days of mask wearing is going to be interesting, because masks don't work either.

individual,

More than 2.5 million Americans died in 2017 without the help of the China virus. Also, the reports of influenza have dropped right off. My take on that is that many of the China virus deaths could actually be 'flu deaths.
