Hopefully this potential storm will blow over, as most ordinary Australians have had at least a few Covid shots to keep the tyrannical shutdown government happy. But, according to the Australia health authorities, due to families getting together over Easter, dreaded Covid cases are rising, putting stress on hospitals. Well, all I can say is that hospitals are not holiday resorts and are made for stress. Life is stress. Victoria recorded a 60 percent increase in cases in the past fortnight, with 5,772 new cases over the previous seven-day period. In New South Wales there were 9,876 new cases and 36 deaths last week. There were 952 people in hospital and 20 in intensive care. We are not told about the age-breakdown of the afflicted. According to Australian Medical Association’s president, Steve Robson, “Hospitals around the country are still facing staff pressures not only in dealing with day-to-day business or dealing with people who have Covid, but also dealing with massive backlogs.” “After several years of this, people just don’t want to hear about this anymore and they’re hoping the narrative will move on for better or worse.”
That is the new normal; lockdowns were tried, especially in China, and failed to stop Covid. It is time to live with it.
