... who also doesn't get sick...

It's more the amount of cases that aren't already isolation that's the issue.
NSW seemed to get on top of that quicker than Vic.
I understand what they are. Point is they're all asymptomatic.
I'd be really concerned about asymptomatic cancer...
Pretty disappointing when you go onto the articles on social media and see people almost hoping the NSW approach fails.
I for one hope they get onto it and it doesn't really blow out but they now have the threat of being ostracized from the rest of the country for the near future which poses it's own challenges.
Who also won't be sick. Or is highly likely not to be sick.
We've had approximately 10 cases per day in Australia (based on Google's figures) over the past 30 days. Not one of those people has been sick.

Aren't asymptomatic cases meant to have a low infectious rate? "Low viral load" or some such.
Absolutely - hence my point about how many cases are already in quarantine.

So if no one gets sick, how did 700 people die last year? Younger people, healthier people, may not show symptoms if they get it. But they can spread it to people who do. You've asked this question "many times" because you seem to refuse to accept the answer.
...then they transmit it to 4 other people...who transmit it to 16 other people, who transmit it to 256 people...who then transmit it to 65000 people, and so on.
From that 65000 people, the chances of people getting very sick becomes pretty high.
But hasn't this discussion been done 1000 times already over the past 18 months anyway?
I don't believe 700 people died of COVID last year.
Even the lying CDC in the US are framing up that actual covid deaths could be 20% of recorded numbers. Imagine how much they ACTUALLY are. Maybe 1-2%?
Weird how every Perth lockdown has had positive cases traipsing over the city while asymptomatic but no one gets infected. Doesn't seem to align with the exponential growth you claim.

Until it gets to someone who does.
You know, like the millions of people who have already died from covid

But that's good if true, right? And a good thing that it was contained before it got into another nursing home.

Wow, just wow.
Not good if the economy is crushed and freedoms are cut on its behalf.
And while I'm at it, news articles using this type of tone isn't doing anyone any favours either.
Just for perfective they had 10 new cases at the time of the article in which 80% of them were already in isolation due to swift work of contact tracers.
The media in this country really gives me the shits

Can't avoid it.
It's the thing that's overlooked in a lot of discussion around pandemics. The disease is just half of it. The social / political element is the other half of a pandemic.
It explains why we have such different outcomes around the world.

But it's deadly! The 700 were almost all frail elderly in nursing homes, with comorbidities. I'd be concerned if this cohort were getting it again but they're not. The positive cases are nearly all returned travellers or their close associates, younger, fitter people who are out and about at Bunnings, the footy, cafes, without apparently realising they have the disease. I don't WANT people to get sick but if they're not, we should be told. Unfortunately that news would have an adverse effect on vaccination rates.
Something else you might know the answer to - does testing positive make you immune?

If all the rightoids in this thread could get together and agree on a narrative you want to push that would help discussion.
a) Dan murdered 700 people
b) it's asymptomatic and no one gets sick
Pick one.

100% don't want any cases anywhere in Australia.

The media are cooked. I’ve cancelled my HS subscription too. How they’ve treated the vaccine has been diabolical. They are a disgrace and to be honest I am shocked that they are still this dumb to try and get clicks.

Admittedly, i booked a few days before the last lockdown for May31st and had no problem. I got there when all the rush was on and it was easily done, no lines, just in and got the jab, got the 2nd date booked in, waited for 15 mins and then told to bugger off!
