Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #4350 – August 09, 2021, 02:45:51 pm Quote from: Mav – on August 09, 2021, 02:41:43 pmI'd also like to ask Dr Nick why he singles out Victoria. In what way are the Govts (and their advisors) in SA, Qld, & WA more relaxed about living with Covid? I would have thought WA is just about the most extreme. The fact he tries to limit his attack to 1 State suggests he's following military doctrine of not opening up wars on multiple fronts. Trying to otherise 1 State is pretty shabby from a public health advocate.Lots of politics going on here, is this something to do with Canberra being stuck in the middle of NSW? Quote Selected

Re: CV and mad panic behaviour Reply #4357 – August 10, 2021, 09:53:37 am Quote from: Mav – on August 10, 2021, 09:22:32 amSobering data from Iceland: Iceland deals with growing Delta outbreak as high vaccination rates stop deaths, News.com.au.Terrific article, thank you Wing Man MAV, very real important information can be easily gleaned from what is happening there.I've had the thought for a while now that masks will become a part of our lives for some time to come. The apparent dramatic reduction in seasonal the flu suggests the effectiveness of masks and social distancing.I think most of us know that the vaccinations won't have an enormous impact on transmissiblility (but masks/distancing etc., do) but do have an important impact on severity of symptoms once infected - this was my primary reason for getting vaccinated, to lessen symptoms therefore aiding me to remain working and not ending up a burden on the hospital system.

Irrespective of vaccinations.Yes no doubt, the issues of long COVID-19 are really just starting, the need for effective treatments should be a priority but it is not getting the political attention it needs. Long COVID-19 has no age barriers.The two sets of interviews below are worth listening to, they are interviews of doctors in the UK who also happen to be COVID-19 patients, a bit dark in spots but they also have some very positive moments. Twenty somethings should be listening to these stories.Science Friction Podcast.The long COVID doctors (Part 1 of 2) (35mins)https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/sciencefriction/long-covid-doctors-patients-uk-symptoms-coronavirus-pandemic/13467564The long COVID doctors (Part 2 of 2) (32mins)https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/sciencefriction/long-covid-doctors-a-year-on-uk-symptoms-coronavirus-pandemic/13477284 Quote Selected Last Edit: August 10, 2021, 11:34:08 am by LP

Irrespective of vaccinations. Yep, even with a vaccinated population life isnt going back to normal anytime soon ,as Iceland shows you can still have a lot of sick people in Hospital even if you get low death rates leading to a strain on resources. Opening up Australia for travel etc is still a long way off imho... Quote Selected
