Public swimming pools are allowed to reopen in NSW from today and unvaccinated people are allowed to use them. Life needs to be made really inconvenient for them.

Barilaro has confirmed that the 80% plan will be revealed at this morning's presser.

This could be a disaster.

quote:

The Northern Territory government is charging ahead with its reopening plan, despite concerns some of its remote communities still have low vaccination rates.

The NT’s Chief Minister Michael Gunner says the low vaccination rates “won’t stop the Territory’s progress” towards easing restrictions, and moving away from snap lockdowns and supervised quarantine.

Health authorities are working towards the 80% vaccinate rate, but the latest data shows the Territority’s remote communities won’t reach that rate until late January.

The data also shows that there are still 19 communities with less that an quarter of their population vaccinated.

But in a statement, Gunner says the NT “cannot wait forever” to reopen, and that the government was considering restricting movements in some communities, instead of delaying reopening plans (or working to get those communities vaccinated I guess.)

I hate the blame-shifting. If vaccination rates are low in remote communities, that should have been addressed before now. Simply saying "too bad" is not a reasonable option. You only need to look to NSW to see how quickly covid can take hold in a remote community, and we're fortunate enough to have much better medical facilities for dealing with it than remote areas of the NT.

Can't stay closed forever! Like, you can't live forever either, so maybe you could just top yourself today and we'll stay closed for a couple more months without you.

The whole NT thing is just a handjob to Qantas who need a compliant state willing to sacrifice themselves to the gods of capitalism. It's terrible but I'm just relieved it's not going to be WA doing it.

Because they are jealous we can't do the same here on the east coast. Unfortunately the Victorian government shot down my proposal of "If someone in NSW coughs, we close the border, and for every covid case they have the border remains shut for an extra month"

The author of the article and his daughter both got covid despite taking the :horsedrugs: with those protocols. :hmmyes:

It's sketchy.

The magnitude and the consistency of results they are claiming are miraculous. A similar meta analysis was recently pulled because there were serious concerns with the cited trials, that results were tampered with. I haven't checked but given the piss poor amount of ivermectin trials I imagine they share a few.

They don't cite a single negative or mixed result trial.

Pretty much nothing is that good, and if it is that good, once it gets around doctors and they try it in a few last ditch they're dying anyway what the hell cases, they will do everything they can to prescribe it to as many patients as they can.

There should be a whole lot more anecdata from bewildered US/Brit doctors going "yeah we thought bullshit but hey it actually worked, boy we've got egg on our face" if ivermectin is as effective as claimed.

At this point given the US's titanic death toll and love of ivermectin, there should be a very noticeable cohort of unvaccinated, ivermectin using whack jobs that are otherwise inexplicably still healthy.

Given the results claimed there should be a lot more, like hugely a lot more, buzz coming out of the countries the article states had widespread ivermectin initiatives across big regions with huge covid case loads.

No worries. The article is clearly written to look like a legit scientific article and bury you in citations and wowzer results. I'm not sure how I'd express my concerns with the study to someone who has gone full brain worms, I feel like anything rational I could say would be countered or dismissed by something irrational. Big pharma, NWO, whatever.

I think I'd just say, ok, that's one, can you link me more studies from reputable sites to consider? It was published five months ago, there have been follow up studies done? Has the author written anything further on ivermectin/covid (knowing they'll probably find the author got covid themselves rather than you telling them)?

loving lol the author got covid.

I'm a zero covid doomer. I've been trying to get people to read the government documents rather than listen to journos say what their friend said the docs say. In my experience it's the "can't stay closed forever" crowd who insist that 70/80/90% (pick one, it doesn't change the narrative) is "let 'er rip".

Edit: maybe it's just idiots saying that, regardless of which camp they're in.
