Data valid as at 00:00 GMT February 24th, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 2 new case for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.141%. 2 new cases and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.099% and active cases 62. The UK had 9,938 cases yesterday and 442 deaths. Just under 71k new cases in the USA yesterday and 2,440 deaths sees CMR up to 1.782%.

Doctors are human, they can be careless. My GP prescribe me penicillin (under a different name), and it was only my own googling before I took it that prevented an allergic reaction. My allergy is in my records, he didnt check.

Get out in the REAL world and experience what’s REALLY going on! I was in Mexico yesterday, and flew back here today via Guatemala... (unfortunately for Visa renewal reasons) Mexico city is on it’s knees hospitality wise... No bars, restaurants open... Death toll is like 180,000... In talking to people on the plane from Guatemala, it’s been hell there also... I live in Costa Rica, I thought things had been tough... Nothing like Mexico, Brazil and many others... You friggin expert armchair conspiracy theorists are just plain Stupid!! But... Continue on with your pathetic blinkered existence.... She’ll be right mate eh??

I do think doctors are held in a little too high regard. I work in the pharma industry and the amount of checks and cross-checks we are required to carry out in manufacturing, annoys me when a doctor is under no such requirement. No better evidence of this than when someone injected an antiseptic rinse instead of the epidural and paralyzed the mother.... |

Reviewing Russells Global figures just shows how damn LUCKY we are being an island farfar away and able to lock outsiders out (barring the ones coming back weekly).......

Yes, Mexico (and Brazil) are doing it tough.
Mexico has just over 2M cases; 181k deaths and a CMR of 8.859% all of which equals 1,591 cases per 100k population and 141 deaths per 100k. Their 10 day average is still more than 6,000 cases and 1,200 deaths per day - in fact their 3 highest days of mortality have all been in the last month. On the plus side that's well down on their mid January numbers when they were averaging 17,000 cases per day. Brazil (with about twice the population of Mexico) has just over 22M cases (11x more); 250k deaths and a CMR of 2.422% all of which equals 4,858 cases per 100k population and 117 deaths per 100k. Their 10 day average is still more than 50,000 cases and 1,100 deaths per day. They are perhaps fortunate that their CMR is relatively low.

We are lucky that most of our state Premiers have had a backbone, and did what is right by the people of Australia, rather than doing what's popular and trying to win a popularity contest for themselves.
Except for one Premier, who continually kept sprouting utter bull****, even went as far as stating "children under 12 have been proven not to be carriers or transmitters of the disease.", well and truly after it was proven that children under 12 do in fact carry, and do transmit Covid-19. ![]() |

Sorry QLD and WA premiers have taken the easy route IMO. WA doesn't worry as much as they have huge exports but the tourism sector in QLD is in deep ****. All odds are that McGowan will win by a landslide as did Palaszczuk. Even Scomos approval is through the roof. If you think Melbourne lock down was bad economically, if Sydney and the rest of NSW were locked down it would be far worse than that by a lot. |

It’s just sort of off the coast of Australia, on the Pacific side... (sh it.... on a clear day, I almost see Far Nth Qld from where I live!) And, yes... I just jet-set in and out of Oz at my hearts content during Covid, for a beer with the boys. OR to witness birth of grandkids, OR to attend close mates funerals!.... (Just like the professional tennis players and celebs) (You’re a classic example of having no feckin idea about the realities of the Covid effect on people outside of Australia!)

COVID-19 vaccine doses thrown out at Melbourne aged care home after bungled cool storage
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-02-...ribee/13195424 I never understood why some countries needed to hoard 3 times more the dosage than what they actually need, but this could be one reason. What are the odds that the next bungle will be in WA? Good news elsewhere, up to 50k allowed at the G for the footy.....can't wait! Last edited by T3rminator; 26-02-2021 at 06:07 PM. |

So the NSW gov is pushing for a covid vaccine passport, saying you will have to prove you are vaccinated to get into a shop or hotel.
But yeah, no ones forcing you to have it. Just don't expect to be able to leave your house if you don't. Vaccine 'passports' reportedly under consideration in NSW By Raffaella Ciccarelli |3 hours ago As Australia's vaccine rollout enters its second week, NSW is reportedly considering a vaccine "passport" to prove who has and has not used the jab. Today understands the certificate would be issued online via the Service NSW App and be used to determine travel eligibility and grant entry to certain venues. Chair of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Jane Halton backs the proposal, but said employers should be cautious about rolling them out in workplaces. "We have all got to figure out when we are going to need to demonstrate whether we've been vaccinated in what context," she told Today. |

Its called conditioning. Its coming whether we like it or not, decision has already been made by our masters. UK and EU has already floated the idea and will be "debating" it in parliament, but its obvious what the outcome will be. We all have some important decisions to make in the coming months. Am I worried for my elderly parents taking the vaccine? Yes. Would I take the vaccine? Yes. I figured, if govco / illuminati / elites / bill gates wants to harm / track me, they can do it without a vaccine. Quote:
