Anyone else get the suspicion this lockdown is going to last longer than a week?

I guess 2 at least, and in a worst case scenario where cases are still spreading we might even stretch out to 4 weeks.

The high school becoming a hotspot is about as worst case scenario as it gets.  First the kids give it to each other, then they take it home, then they take it out on the weekend to the footy, their local basketball competition, then spread it to the opposition players.

Its a contact tracers nightmare about to unfold.  Before anyone states this is rubbish, we have been living life with relative normality and over the last fortnight, speaking for myself, I saw a very lacsadaisacal approach to QR code checkins, as well as just general public behaviour.

Its like the pandemic ended and people were back to their selfish selves.

A staffer at a nursing home in Melbournes West now with CoVid and no link to the other cases, its getting out of control slowly and
I cant see the lockdown lifted for a while. Winter has been a bad time for other countries and its looking that way in Melbourne which is the CoVid capital of Australia. Read this morning although the contact tracing has improved in Victoria it still isnt as good as NSW, why is that after all the grief we had previously?, the Victorian system should be the best given it should have had extra resources, training etc provided.

EB it has to be linked to another case, they just haven't made the link yet.

GTC, I get it has to come from somewhere but clearly there is going to be a time gap on this one which means it will spread further. I liked the bit too that said staff at the nursing home will now wear full PPE gear??..... er  shouldnt they have been wearing full PPE gear anyway in a home with previous cases last time.

Meta analysis is analysing data from trials previously completed, some of the trials forming part of the analysis were completed almost a decade before COVID-19.

All the of the trials used at least one other drug like doxycycline or azithromycin in conjunction with ivermectin, a cocktail of pharmaceuticals, they don't know why they worked or what they worked on because the meta analysis required no analysis of secondary infections.

No specific direct treatment or prophylaxis of SARS-CoV-2 virus was demonstrated, the papers are analysis the survival of illness post COVID-19 illness, but many trials do not differentiate mild illness versus severe illness, they are just lumped into the same category.

Really these studies repeatedly demonstrate just how serious COVID-19 is and why vaccination is so important. If you get a SARS-CoV-2 infection and develop COVID-19 you are at great risk of becoming very ill from secondary infections requiring a suite of pharmaceuticals to assist, there is no silver bullet to make you better.

SARS-CoV-2 is the virus, ............... COVID-19 is the disease that SARS-CoV-2 causes........ COVID-19 is a complex set of symptoms and infections.

The first finding was that ivermectin substantially reduces death amongst hospitalised patients with mild, moderate or severe covid-19. Six randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were included and the pooled estimate of reduction in the risk of death was 83% (95% CI 67-92%). “We don’t know what the precise estimate is, but even if it is on the lower estimate or even half as good it is still a substantial reduction in deaths”, say Dr Lawrie.

To 23 May 2021, 3.6 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been given in Australia. In this period, the TGA has received 210 reports of deaths following immunisation – 109 have been reported for the Pfizer vaccine, 94 for the AstraZeneca vaccine and seven where the vaccine was not specified. Most of these reports (93%) were for people 65 years of age and over, and over three quarters were 75 years of age and over.

So some silly scrag at a protest yesterday was shown on the news breathing heavily on people. She was arrested (I think) by police, turns out she's an aged care worker. What farken hope have we got?
