Covid ICU surge in Israel
Israel is reporting a surge in critically ill patients to covid19. There was a 70% jump in the number of critically ill from last week. I can only put this surge down to growing prevalence to the new variants BA.4 BA.5 and BA.5.1. This is strange because in South Africa BA.4 and BA.5 seemed to…

Excess deaths in Australia are up by a lot
This is from a site that tracks excess deaths in countries. Here is the link. https://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=104676 These deaths are on top of covid19 deaths. Australia was averaging about 400 deaths a year to covid at the start of 2022, so what are all these other deaths? There are 400 to 1000 more each week. There…

Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 are making their move in Australia
The next wave of BA.4 and BA.5 variants of Omicron or B.2* are now making their move in Australia. Their prevalence may be close to 20% right now. 3% over the last 60 days but growing fast. NSW seems to be leading the charge. Hopefully this wave is milder still but there is still a…

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…

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…

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…
