Australian Covid Mask Mandate

Sure, that sounds reasonable (sort of), but have you ever considered the absurdity of requiring the vaccinated to be protected from the unvaccinated by forcing the unvaccinated to use the vaccine that didn't protect the vaccinated?

Added: I don't have any horse dewormer nor a Bible. And I've already had Covid.

And I'm not much of a fascist. Not interested in concentration camps.

The vaccine doesn't prevent you from contracting covid-19. You can still catch it and get sick, although I believe it does provide some protection. What it does is effectively deter serious illness and death if you do contract it. It tells your body to build up its defenses and be prepared for an attack.

Currently, 99.5% of people dying from covid-19 are unvaccinated. While many of those dying have other underlying conditions that may have contributed to their deaths, the fact is, had they been vaccinated, they'd probably still be alive.

True, but, 2020 has experienced many other deaths that cannot be attributed to covid (suicide, drowning, overdose, and the one that sticks in my craw the most, ventilators). That has not stopped some from lumping all deaths in the covid column.

Do you believe that Covid has killed people? More than the flu would have in an average year?

If so do you believe most of the victims were old or already ill and closer to death anyway?

From as early as March 2020, studies done in Italy were suggesting 50-75% of positive Covid tests had no symptoms. Another UK study from August 2020 found as much as 86% of “Covid patients”experienced no viral symptoms at all.

It is literally impossible to tell the difference between an “asymptomatic case” and a false-positive test result. "From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,”.

A meta-analysis of Covid studies, published by Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in December 2020, found that asymptomatic carriers had a less than 1% chance of infecting people within their household. Another study, done on influenza in 2009, found, "limited evidence to suggest the importance of [asymptomatic] transmission. The role of asymptomatic or presymptomatic influenza-infected individuals in disease transmission may have been overestimated…”

And meanwhile, 600,000+ dead in this country. Anti-vaxers are murderers.
 
....from Sunny's Article....the article and Sunny were comparing population...

So it is instructive that Australia has largely succeeded in preventing the worst death toll from the coronavirus pandemic.

For instance, Florida has about 21 million residents, Australia somewhat more, 26 million.

Then look at COVID-19 deaths:

  • Florida: 17,460.
  • Australia: 907.
In fact, on a recent day in Australia, there were no COVID-19 deaths — zero, reported The Washington Post.

Though Australia has a conservative prime minister, Scott Morrison, he led the nation into taking the pandemic seriously.

Australia's national response was led by a Yale graduate, Greg Hunt, a former McKinsey consultant. His wife is a former infectious disease nurse who keeps this book at her bedside: "The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance" by Laurie Garrett.

Their strategic plan involved testing, tracing and social distancing. In contrast, the U.S. has never had enough tests, nor enough staff to trace contacts. And our president made fun of masks and led mass events with no distancing.

Yet now the Sydney Opera House is open and workers are encouraged to return to their offices.

America is not Australia. But Australia proves that a free nation can succeed against a coronavirus if people work together.
 
LOL, I meant similar size populations, not land mass.

Sorry about the confusions.
