Covid: the silent assassin. It is quietly, ruthlessly, & indiscriminately infecting, disabling, & killing people at a high rate worldwide. People think it's over because they WANT it to be. But it is NOT over. Little testing or reporting means data is inaccurate. Even death data

Many people don't realise that if you catch Covid IN HOSPITAL, while there for something else, about 1 in every 10 of those people WILL DIE. Hospital-acquired Covid mortality rate is ~10% So why have hospitals abandoned precautions like wearing masks? ozsage.org/media_releases…

OzSAGE have just released a very important document on preventing transmission of Covid in hospital. Imagine going to hospital for something - anything - and catching Covid there due to non-existent precautions. And then dying...! It's happening. ozsage.org/media_releases…

People are not only getting sick, but DYING, having caught Covid IN HOSPITAL while in there for something else. That is unforgiveable. ozsage.org/media_releases…

For all those who've been conned into thinking Covid is over, & who get upset about a flu death, a traffic death, or any other deaths - just a reminder that Covid reportedly killed 169 Australians in just the last ONE WEEK. And we're currently in a lull between waves. Oh dear!!

We're seeing increased incidence of diseases like leprosy, along with things like young onset cardiovascular disease. Meanwhile we have a viral pandemic that is still killing people - but who is paying attention to its other effects, especially on the immune system? Coincidence?

I wonder how @elonmusk 's decision to rebrand Twitter as 'X' will affect apps that log into Twitter, such as Tweeten (the only TweetDeck-like app that's worth using since Twitter got rid of TweetDeck)?

Elon's madness being perpetuated by the new CEO, adding fuel to the dumpster fire that is Twitter now. I think I just heard the last nail being hammered into Twitter's coffin...!

So the media carries multiple stories of Influenza B wreaking havoc, especially on young people. But what the media is NOT telling you is that Covid is still killing WAY more Australians every week than Influenza B is, by a LONG way. Gaslighting at its most effective.

How many people do you know who plan their next overseas trip with "Oh, let's go to Rio - I saw it on the Olympics all those years ago and it looked fabulous"?

Seems like Threads is where a lot of people are going at the moment, over to Threads.net which is owned by the other mad billionaire, Zuckerberg.

Just a reality check: Covid-19 killed 228 Australians in the last week alone. That is about 1.36 Aussies every hour. Think of all those families, bereaved, losing loved ones. IT IS NOT LIKE A COLD OR THE FLU We are still in the pandemic. It is NOT over. It is NOT "endemic"
