"When China first deployed lockdown in January to “defeat COVID-19,” The Washington Post approvingly quoted a Georgetown University professor as saying,
“The truth is those kinds of lockdowns are very rare and never effective…”
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention pandemic planning documents state non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing are ineffective once a disease infects 1% of a region's population. Literature on this subject is unanimous worldwide. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control:
No respiratory virus ever needed a “lockdown” to dissipate. What it needs is herd immunity, preferably sooner than later, preferably developed by the young and healthy to minimize mortality.


Uummm...which "health experts" are our politicians avidly listening to.....
How long will it be before our politicians give up and secretly move to herd immunity....

Opinions are like arseholes...everyone has one!

Werent lockdowns used in at least one of the worse European countries (Spain or Italy)?

Conversely, South Korea and Taiwan did not have lockdowns...
They experienced fewer cases and deaths...
Worldwide, epidemiologists are divided on the subject.
I am not an epidemiologist....I wouldnt know...
Im simply providing my scepticism as our politicians are those who make the decisions
based on the opinions of the epidemiologists which they listen to.
Only time will tell if they got it right in Australia...
Of course, the public will be told that they got it right.....

My understanding is South Korea and Taiwan were well prepared as they suffered during SARS.
They had a plan and put it into action rapidly.

Lockdowns and isolation have historically proven effective in stopping transmittable diseases.
For 100's of years, isolation has stopped transmittable diseases.

Masks are effective. If everyone wore masks when in public it would have a huge effect.

The subject of lockdowns is controversial.
Its controversial because of propaganda.
The link is lengthy.
It talks about Sweden.
It talks about covid19 effecting the elderly.
Believe what you want to believe....

"As is evident in the bottom chart, the bulk of deaths from coronavirus in Sweden happened in the over 70 year old demographic, but particularly in the over 80 year old category. If a nation has many more elderly citizens, percentage wise than another nation, then of course its overall mortality rate will be much higher, as its overall mortality rate will be greatly skewed by its large elderly population. This is why it would be fake science to extrapolate the high mortality rate of covid19 in Lombardy, a region with a high percentage of elderly, to the entire nation of Italy. All of the Western media’s headlines about this particular set of data in Sweden in comparison to its neighboring nations was completely disingenuous and deliberately intended to mislead the American public about the “failure"of the Sweden no lockdown policy, that in reality, was among the most successful, if not the most successful, in the entire world.

Someone mentioned today that the WHO stated that lockdowns shouldnt be used....etc....
Aaaah well...what would I know.....

SloMo says that Ostraya will be "open by Christmas"
What did I tell you....
A date on the calendar...
What about scientific and medical advice....
Wouldnt we all have to wait for this "expert medical/scientific advice" which makes
opening up possible....
Dont we all have to wait for infection numbers to reduce...for outbreaks to be
controlled, for social distancing rules and regulations to be watered down in accordance
with all the "advice"
No wait....
Its Christmas....
Its a date on the calendar...
by the 26th December, 2020.......
Its all over....
The conjob19 plandemic in Ostraya is all over......
BUT the politicians want everyone to remain shit scared.....
I wonder why...
Because its all a conjob.....
All part of the global economic re-set...
A bad case of the flu, passed off as a plandemic.....
Whilst the absence of Sutton at Chairman Dans daily gobfest has everyone wondering
how long it will take for him to concoct his affidavit......
