Masks should have stayed
The latest biggest boo-boo made by Australia with its handling of covid was to remove the mask mandate. With winter approaching and the knowledge that the coronavirus loves the cold. It survives in environments for longer and is airborne. This is well know science now. To keep covid in check we should have kept the…

Australia is number one in Covid and Stupidity
Australia is number one in the world with respect to covid hotspots and Western Australia is number one in Australia. 9 months ago Australia was zerocovid. Now it is let it rip. We can live with 50 deaths a day or more. It is just like a Boeing 747 crashing once a week and everyone…

China is only just clinging onto zerocovid
There is growing concern that there may be an explosive outbreak of covid19 in China. This follows a new outbreak in Beijing from a single bar. A spokesperson for the city’s government said a recent outbreak “The recent outbreak … is strongly explosive in nature and widespread in scope“ Meanwhile Shanghai went into a snap…

No more traffic infringement notices. #LetItRip.
In 2021, there were 1,123 road crash deaths. And because of this we have lots of laws to keep road deaths and trauma down. You must wear a seatbelt. You cannot speed more than 5 km/hr over the speed limit. You must obey all traffic signals. There is a red light camera at most intersections now.…

BA.4 and BA.5 variants target young children
This is big. Thx Clare Karacsonyi for sharing to me. It seems like the variants BA.4 and BA.5 which are only just starting in Australia (in NSW and WA last I looked) are affecting children more than any other variant. The number of children admitted to hospital under 9 years of age has overtaken the…

Omicron XE causing new surge in Covid in Malta
Yes, Omicron XE is still active. Omicron XE is a recombinant of the variants BA.1 and BA.2. BA.2 is very different to BA.1 and virologists are just starting to relabel BA.2 variants in a class of their own. The BA.2 variants should have been given a new Greek letter by the WHO. Recombinant variants are…

Victoria to end isolation rules for Covid
I wonder how long this will last? I think their hospitals will be overwhelmed. Plus covid19 is not the flu. It is killing 20 Victorians a day right now. That is 7000 people a year. We may as well relax speeding rules, seatbelts, and drinking driving too. Only a few hundred more will die on…

Pre-infection or vaccination will not stop you getting covid from variants BA.4 and BA.5
New data from South Africa shows that although 97% of people had been exposed to covid or had been vaccinated or both, they still have a fifth wave in South Africa. BA.4 and BA.5 are now being sequenced in Australia (NSW and WA), Europe and the USA, so the world is about to go through…

Why are they still mandating the covid vaccines?
The covid jabs hardly have any efficacy anymore so why are they continuing with mandates. It must be a control thing, a power trip. The covid vaccine efficacies have dropped substantially and as mostly the elderly die, they are the one’s who should only get the jab now, and only if they want. SO WHY…

BA.4 and BA.5 detected in NSW and WA
As the title says BA.4 and BA.5 detected in NSW and WA. I have not seen any recorded cases of BA.4 and BA.5 in Queensland, Victoria, SA or Tasmania as yet. BA.4 and BA.5 will be our next covid wave, once the BA.2.* waves have finished, BA.2.12.1 and BA.2.10.1 look to have some more time…
