    I would be more concerned if Australia's mining industry has to shut down in WA, the only straw our economy is still hanging onto apart from the pathetic shifting around of property by speculators(which is not an economy but a disaster) and strangely is still up and running despite all the lock downs.

    I have friends in Wilcannia, they are safe out on their property, so far.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

What is really inevitable the virus will mutate and so far no scientists could predict what new variant will look like. Otherwise with Corona or even flu scientists could modify existing vaccines for new variants to come.
    Also, lethality of the Alfa was 1.7% when Delta is 0.25% even though it is more contagious meaning more people do not survive it. That is from the world wide studies, not my calculations.

    The reason I posted that was to reiterate my belief that this ISN'T going away.

    A few days ago, Morrison stated that we would have to live with it, and yesterday, Shorten agreed. Now each way Albo has said the same. That puts them all at odds with most premiers.

    From my dumb logic, lethality isn't necessarily compatible with survival. Therefore viruses will mutate for survival over death of hosts.

    100% agree and the logic behind was proven many times before - this is how viruses evolve. At least viruses created by "mother nature".

    Aaaaah, that's a different deal and worth time. I don't think we will ever know, although the WHO are now wanting an urgent re opening of the inquiry into it's origins. A bit late now fellas, the Chinese have hoodwinked enough of the suckers to muddy everything.

    Good video and I didn't find a smallest exaggeration in what was said.
    It's how it is and this is the reason they are right or wrong is absolutely irrelevant.

    Hmmmm....really that's just one persons point of view backed up by selectively showing clips. Fear is the key here. Politicians know it, and use it.

    true but we sort of don't see alot of how the australia of today is looked st from the outside.
    There could be lots of these type of vidoes now as lots of countries have openned up and just letting it run.

    I still believe that a lot of the deaths are because those people had underlying health issues, but some died because they didn't know they had an issue to stat with.
    I know my wife is in the category that would probably kill her if she got it, can she get the vaccine - no because the side affects from them will be the same.

    Eventually we will have to make the decision with the aid of medical advice, but at the moment because we live in WA we still have time for more test results and recent heart surgery has complicated matters somewhat.
    The rest of the family is in line for the jab

    I hope it all works out. I'm off to have my second stab this morning. I regard myself as vulnerable, and if I get covid I'm high risk. Heart disease, overweight, blood pressure, borderline diabetes. Although it's been over 25 years, I was a heavy smoker (legal and illegal) and my lungs are stuffed really.

    My best friends wife is a cancer survivor, and at 70 can't get the jab either.

    Once again I'd like to thank the f*cking Chinese government for ruining the world.

    So the Queensland premier says she won't open the borders until all the children are vaccinated even though this has not been done anywhere in the world.

    Looks like fortress Qld is coming...The wall can't be far away now

    "Annastacia Palaszczuk may keep Queensland border closed until kids are jabbed"
    “You open up this state and you let the virus in here and every child under 12 is vulnerable, every single child.”
    Ms Palaszczuk said she would “stand strong” on borders “until I can get every child vaccinated”.
    “I honestly believe that we need to have further research done on what happens to the 0 to 12-year-old cohort as they remain unvaccinated,” she said.

    Just another agreement signed off on and then reneged on.....another bald faced lie.

    These premiers have control and won't let go.....

    Australia as a united country has been destroyed by them. As I've said before, they are traitors, nothing more.

    LOL! ...okay. I'll thank you for the laugh, but seriously you could've posted that in the joke thread. Why? Took me a moment to find the cited document...why? It's been retracted by the website that published it =^)

    It's BS mate... along with most crap that appears on twitter
