Latest Covid Western Pandemic Wave
With the 2 variants of Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 surging around the world (western world in any case) there has been a steady rise in case numbers in the world. Deaths are just starting to rise in response. Besides the variants BA.4 and BA.5, the large virus pools in these countries like Australia, United States,…

Australia should have stayed zerocovid. “Living with the virus” is for life.
Australia is the laughing stock of the world. Our politicians and public health officials threw away zerocovid to live with the virus. Not just that they are allowing the virus to rip through the population with no mask mandates indoors where superspreading occurs. I think they think herd immunity is possible but what will happen…

Russia said it had killed about 23,000 Ukrainian troops. Australia has killed 10,039 of its own people.
I am constantly trying to alert people to how many Australians are dying to covid19 because we are letting Covid19 rip in Australia. Most may have been old or unwell but did NOT want to die. What if you were one of these people?We will kill more in a year than in all of WW2.…

NSW is in Omicron BA.4 & BA.5 wave
Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 variants have been slowly growing in prevalence since 1 May 2022 in NSW, now about 50%, and case numbers and hospitalization have been increasing. Maybe BA.4 and BA.5 are not as mild as they were suggested to be in South Africa. Deaths show a slight rise but more deaths usually follow…

MPX virus in 41 countries confirmed + 13 suspected. 3157 cases. NTI estimate on target.
Monkeypox is in 41 countries now confirmed plus another 13 unconfirmed. The total number of confirmed cases is 3157. 3275 if we include the unconfirmed suspected cases. Doubling is every 9 to 10 days. It seems to have stabilised on that figure for the last few weeks. If I take 9.5 days as the doubling…

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…

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…

Monkeypox cases freeze last 2 days
This is weird. For something that was spreading like wildfire the there have hardly been any number of new cases in the last 2 days. I do not think it is because it was a weekend because it did not happen in the previous weekends. Maybe is is a MSM thing: men having sex with…

Monkeypox exploding
This is slipping away fast. Now over 550 confirmed cases, plus 100 unconfirmed/suspected. Most of the infectious diseases experts on the WHO are hand-washing experts. This is not the usual monkeypox virus in Nigeria where they have 3000 cases a year. We have already gone over 500 cases in less than one month. On target…

Taiwan chose to live with covid, just like Australia.
Seeing the hardship endured by the Chinese people in Shanghai, Taiwan which has roughly the same population as Australia decided to lift most restrictions and live with the virus. I would suggest more Taiwanese are wearing masks than Australians, who are completely complacent and so far in this pandemic has been lucky, lucky that omicron…
