I keep forgetting this is a thing still. Why we ned to wear a mask inside an airport terminal is beyond my meagre intellect, but it's a good time to check out why:
~20% of the population has had a confirmed case, of which 0.13% have died...
air travel is the last hold out isn't it?
other than that, Covid is done in Australia.

think each state is still different, even with the recent roll back in VIC and NSW, in NSW public transport (even trains) masks are still a thing

same in Vic, and i honestly dont mind, everything else pretty much back to normal
-
The great irony is air travel hasn't been a spreader event.
-
@antipodean but is that possibly, at least in a small way, effected by the fact it was pretty much the first place they made masks compulsory
-
@Kiwiwomble No, not really. Masks haven't prevented transmission elsewhere. What works on planes is hospital grade filters in the aircon.
edit - I certainly recall flying during covid when it wasn't mandatory.
-
@antipodean i definitely dont, thought it came in very quick
theories on how plan travel has avoided becoming a mass spread event if not masks?

I think I've answered that.
-
@antipodean apologies, i assumed there would be more to it
-
Some talk over here about going back to restrictive mask mandates again because Covid cases have increased. That would be a big fucking downer if they do. Now that things are starting to slowly get back to a pre covid normal I am only now just starting to realise how much the last two or three years got me down. And I had things a lot easier than a lot of people.
-
@Crazy-Horse I see there are a small number of noisy fucktards clamouring for the State to (again) enforce a practise with no efficacy. These same clowns ignore that a covid statistic categorically does not mean someone died from the virus, rather they died with.
As of Friday people aged 70+ are 6.4% of the cases and 83.8% of the deaths.
I could be wrong but after the last two years, I sincerely doubt the public is willing to put up with this bullshit again.
-
@antipodean I did hear Victoria has said they are not likely to go backwards but I don't trust the bloody Qld government not to.
Agree, reintroducing any sort of mandate will piss a lot of people off.
-
Yeah, I think if we were losing 22 people a day, and they were like the road toll - young as well as old, and sudden unexpected deaths - then he'd have a point. But they're really not.
Which isn't to say that they don't matter, but that's a really crap comparison.

Is anyone keeping tabs on flu deaths? I don't want to trivialise the death toll, but there are lots of people dying of lots of other things. But it's time to get on with life for everyone else

Qld government is under pressure from a damning report in to culture and oversight
What would make a good distraction?

@mariner4life funny you should ask

fuck of not masks again move on Annastacia.

well well well
I was so very happy to not hear from this woman for so long
but look, here she fucking is, announcing a new "Covid wave" and we are moving to an amber setting. this means fuck all as it is a set of guidelines. Wear masks and shit. Fuck off, Covid is dead lady, absolutely no one cares. I will also not be getting the 5th jab (i didn't get the 4th either).
The WHO were out today warning everyone this hasn't gone away. This is despite world wide weekly deaths from Covid, as of last week, being 9,400. Just to put that number in to context. 1.3 million people die every week in the world.
Fuck off fluffybunnies, no one cares.
