Maybe Cancer is contagious???  You want my opinion? I think it’s possible!

Lets hear from the Facebook School Of Medicine, or some equally useless source of information!

Well in at least one case it is - Facial Tumours in Tasmanian Tigers - in nature, where there is one in, there may be others.

 Well luckily we have medical researchers who don't just wonder but look for evidence.

 

now I always hate to give wrong facts but I left a zero off the Brazil population bit still applied to Australia would be horrendous

But these are not contagious they don't spread exponentially through the population. What you appear to favor is letting it rip like Brazil did.  A population of less than Australia  (20 million).  Death toll is 586590

Is that what you would be happy with here?

You do realise that those figures still only represent 0.02 % of the whole population of Brazil,,,So yearly death rate of 1,3% from all causes and covid is 0.02 maybe  we need to stop panicing ok...

Brazil - Historical Death Rate Data
Year Death Rate Growth Rate
2020 6.588 1.310%
2019 6.503 1.340%
2018 6.417 0.900%

I will say it again, an average of just over 400 people die EVERY day in Australia for some  reason.

60 people die EVERY day alone, from Cardiac Arrest in Australia.

Expand  

When you say this over again you are confirming that you don't understand the first thing we are taking about, and it will only tempt some else who doesnt know what we are talking about to post the births, add some immigrants, and start talking about how the population is actually growing.

Check your maths, 20 mil population with 586,590 deaths is 2.9 percent not 0.02.

Marty I left a 0 off the Brazil population but it still equates to a death rate  of around 50000 if applied to Australia's population   The question for the let it rip mob is that left unchecked covid would be a huge killer.

Ummmm no I am not concerned about Smallpox because it was eradicated by vaccinations, what is your point?

 

 

We can go back and forth on this indefinitely but the fact is that it is covid dealt with with as best as we can.   The game plan is to keep the deaths and illness to a level that can be dealt with until we reach a vaccination level that will allow for a gradually reopening .  It will still be with us but  with vaccination, hygiene, selective lockdowns when necessary we can keep it at reasanble levels.

 

You list deadly diseases from the past to compare with our present situation. Diseases such as smallpox and the plague were eventually tamed by science not self appointed keyboard experts. 

 

The fact is you may not be happy with how it is being handled but this is the scientific advice, I realize you probably believe you have more expertise.  Your dissatisfaction with the situation has been noted but basically you are stuck with.  Either you can join a political group to fight it or you can lobby a politician or you can ignore rules  and advice and go down the civil disobedience route.   The thing that is undignified is whining about it.

Yep the error was mine, I left a zero off.  I do place a high value on accuracy and I am happy to admit my error. Still though over half a million deaths is tragic is it not?

jack you might have noticed or not that at no point have I made any comment on flying during the lockdown.  I am less concerned with the letter of the law than the actual practical risks.

uummm  I don't believe I have ever mentioned playgrounds and if I have motioned masks it has only been as an example of some measures that can help reduce the transmission rate.    Feel free to search my posts and provide an example.  I suspect you are conflating my posts with other peoples posts

Yes you are correct and i apologise my bad,,,but you are recorded as being negative to those that are unvaxxed and saying that those that are unvaxxed are the real risk , when the actual opposite is the case ,if the vaccine works then vaccinated are more of a danger to the unvaccinated cause as you KNOW vaxxed can and do still get and die and spread the covid

This has gone past ridiculous. On this matter it's more extreme than any site I ever visit. The funny " jigger" is misused and people are just flinging lunatic insults back and forth. Well a few are. Some are being very patient There's no point continuing this .  Nev
