The Serious Covid Thread - For Those Who Want Serious Discussion

[HeathySure]

The people who are blaming Dan for the 800 deaths which was caused by not locking down quick enough are also the people who are complaining that they have been in lockdown for so many days because Dan locked us down too much.

Says it all about how their brains work.

Well he is not Robinson Crusoe.

Then what about the Deaths last year when Glady let people off Boats into Sydney?

He celebrated the 800 deaths with a glass of scotch. All hail King Dan!

Don't worry too much about what other posters say Dave.

Haven't much to post about except bringing up the past.

Mistakes were made by many on both sides of politics, let's just hope they have learned.

Ahh yes, all those businesses in Victoria sent to the wall due to local incompetence.

'Mistakes were made, but lets smile'

See my reply to your previous post.

I actually wouldn't mind your posts if you replied to my earlier questions but you drop in and then run away until your next revelation as you are not interested in genuine discussion.

Given the availability of vaccines in NSW, do you think they have done a good job with over 500 dead?

(Oh and don't drag up the aged care deaths in Vic as there wasn't any vaccines available; aged care wasn't solely a Victorian problem; quarantine is a Fed Gov responsibility (although Vic did stuff up) and not a lot known about the virus.

Don't be a NewsCorpse follower. That is where truth goes to die.

So why are we Opening Up again IF as said on A Current Affair saying you need to have 3 Vaccines Doses to be safe?

Perhaps because anything you hear on ACA is a crock of s**t?

You most likely Right but Double Checking

Keep on watching the ABC and The Project Maggie5 lol.

Unlike you I don't need to be spoonfed by the Murdoch media and for your info... have never watched the Project ever!

 

[HeathySure]

If you watch news programs that only reinforce your beliefs, you are not doing it right

Yep. Do Your Own Research is code for looking for and believing confirmation bias, regardless of whether the source is reputable or whether it is an anonymous source on a wordpress blog.

The scientific answer is........ don't watch ACA

ABC goes the Complete Opposite to Murdoch Media

 

[NMBB]

ABC goes the Complete Opposite to Murdoch Media

The ABC cannot claim to always be a fount of objective analysis.

 

[Maggie5]

ABC goes the Complete Opposite to Murdoch Media

True at least no misleading headlines, unknown sources. More opinion than any real facts.

Then again, most Murdoch media readers/listeners/watchers don't really go past the headline.

I was talking to one today about changing authority from CHO to Andrews. Asked her how is that different to NSW and other states?

Did she know that there would be oversight etc etc.

I gave up.

I don't Really Read or Pay Much Attention to Either

Such as when 7.30 Report stated that Heritier Lumumba was a victim of racial vilification when the disputed 'chimp' accusation was the only 'evidence' of such in the public arena.

Even Ita said recently that it's "East Coast Centric". Listening to / watching the ABC you wouldn't think Australia is responsible for ~ 1% of global emissions and China ~30%.

 

[Black_White]

It can claim to be a font of objective analysis when compared to all things Murdoch.
There is no such thing as an unbiased media outlet. But there is such a thing as self interest predicated on profit.
ABC don’t have that. Murdoch (and various other outlets) do.
So I know which choice I make everyday.

1%of global emissions is a lot when you're only 0.3% of the global population and most of your production based emissions are exported because you don't manufacture very much onshore.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that the fundamental reason our emissions per capita are so staggeringly high is our avoidance of nuclear power?

I think it's mainly for a good reason - a really high standard of living.

Im guessing its mainly coal based electricity driving it. That and transport. I don't know enough about renewables to know if they're a genuine option to nuclear.

I get the impression that the world hasn't invested heavily enough in solar research, as solar seems to have advanced really slowly.
