He wasn't marginalising the deaths, just being realistic. People die every day, but no one cares (besides loved ones) unless it was from covid. With an average age of death being 86, which is higher than life expectancy, families are preparing themselves for the inevitable. But these lockdowns affect everyone, and we end up with stories like a man in QLD dying, and the state only allowed 2 of his 4 young children to travel from NSW to see him before he died. Or the newborn babies in SA who needed to travel interstate for lifesaving treatment, but VIC wouldn't allow them in due to covid fears. If you are younger than ~70 there is almost zero risk from covid, some perspective is sorely needed here.

Lets not conflate the 2 issues - I agree lockdowns take a toll on society, with horrendous consequences on mental health for some.

Correct on every part of this post. How any of it can be argued is beyond me but its hard to get into the minds of the heavily religious. When logic and reason is completely ignored, theyre too far gone. Louie Theroux should do a documentary on the brainwashed. Itd be fascinating
 
I'm just countering the anti-vaxers and the misleading stats.
We 'cautious' types on here hardly a fringe group. We're just a small school of fish in a medium-sized pond. If you wanna do some real countering, you'd better get onto Twitter and Youtube, too. Perhaps you can start by replying to all the "hesitaters" on this video

I'm not conflating anything. Death is the inevitable consequence of life. Lockdowns are inextricably linked with covid fearmongering, yet the vast majority of the population have little to fear from covid.

These people are so devout they espouse the mutually contradictory aspects of their faith. Like wearing masks outdoors, when the science (which we're supposed to trust) tells us that there is almost zero transmisibility outdoors.
 
OMG - Alex Jones the fruit cake Infowars conspiracist. So bad the Infowars was shutdown.
The man who created fake news with Pizzagate, and so much other BS.
And you give this nut job credibility.
Do have any idea how unhinged he and his network were to be shutdown?
Can pizzagate really be considered fake news considering how much of it has been proven true since Epstein was made well known?

the Pizza Shop was supposed to have dungeons full of kids that were being molested - an Infowars devotee turned up with a gun, and found nothing.
Pizzagate is fake news created by Alex Jones, and one of the reason Infowars got banned.

Epstein is a different issue.
 
Not in Australia. Take out Dictator Dan's disaster of letting the virus get out of the "quarantined" hotels and into nursing homes, and relatively far'rk-all people have died from Corona here. FMD, a TOTAL of 20 people have died from corona in SA, WA and Qld since the beginning, and that's from mainstream sources. I'll tell ya right now, the death-jabs will kill more than that.

Bookmark this, and feel free to quote me: from now on, the death-jabs will kill more Aussies and New Zealanders than the virus; does that pass the pub test?

Dans disaster does nothing for your argument- it just proves that badly handled the Virus causes deaths.
You picked a very bad example.
And when you do a thorough analysis of COVID reduction due to the Jab and projected lives saved compared to deaths from Jabs, then we can have a sensible debate - right now your peddling BS.
 
The only personal tragedy is not being able to be with loved ones before they die, and not being able to attend the subsequent funeral. There will probably be more than 100 deaths a day in Vic over the course of the "circuitbreaker", how many of them, and their loved ones will be denied a pretty basic human need, a chance to say goodbye and comfort in their final moments.

Which is exactly what happened to me and no doubt countless others. I lost two loved ones last year (not from Covid) and could not attend their funerals. The son of one of them had not seen his mother for two months before she died.

I haven't got time to list how all of the Covid restrictions and impositions have affected me and those close to me, yet I don't even know anyone that has tested positive let alone died from it. It really is unconscionable that people are still cheering on these draconian measures that have caused so much pain and suffering after more than a year. There really are some horrible people on this earth.
