This is what a pandemic really looks like...
Transcribed from David Cullen's video conference with John Waters.
"We all know someone who has died of Covid. We've all lost at least a couple of loved ones...
That's a pandemic."
In the first nine months of 2019, 440 people died of the flu in Australia. For the same period in 2020, 400 people have apparently died of Covid. 40 people are said to have died from the flu. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that 400 plus 40 is 440, the same number of people who died of the flu by this time last year. All they've done is re-allocate the numbers to make gullible people fear a relatively benign virus. This, along with claiming an increase in cases which is only due to an increase in testing, is being used as a reason to take away more of our freedoms, more of our rights, put us in perpetual house arrest, chip track and trace us and make sure we don't go anywhere, not even a walk, without permission from the government.
Cases are meaningless and certainly no reason for any of these draconian measures. The only thing that matters are death rates. I suggest you look at worldometers. You'll see the percentage of cases resulting in deaths is only 3%. That's 3% of cases, not 3% of the population. The percentage of the entire population dying of Covid is even lower, just a fraction of 1%.
Masks, isolation, social distancing and all the rest of it should be voluntary. We should all be responsible for our own health. I'm more likely to get run over by a car than die of something that won't even register with me. If I was in my 80s or someone who was particularly vulnerable, I wouldn't want everyone else to just exist without living.
