Yeah, I remember a lot of pollies resigning back in the day and I was going to quote them here as a response to Russell's post.
But as I searched for details none of them suffered. They may have lost their ministry, but they didn't loose their job, probably only $20 grand a year - but then they were rewarded again later on - both Liberal and Labor. And what about Barry O'Farrell, Premier of NSW? He resigned for not disclosing the gift of a bottle of wine. He ended up as High Commissioner to India. They is all bastards! |

Another excellent video from Dr Campbell on a recently released small scale control study from Spain on the effectiveness of Vitamin D in treating Covid-19 in combination with standard of care in Spain (Similar to India) Impressive results. |

Don't go overboard though. There is such a thing as vitamin D toxicity. Also its not a cure nor a vaccine. Its one thing to ensure your body is functioning properly to best fight infections and diseases. Its another thing to generate antibodies. |

Work together? I've said it before, people follow their leaders. What ever happened to "we are all Victorians?". Dan maintains he has a good "working" relationship with the PM, but looks to me he is just giving journalists one less ammo to fire. National cabinet started well, but seems to be less effective as each week goes by. When was the last time you heard two "leaders" with opposing views sit down and have a sensible public debate of anything important? Watched Question Time in parliament lately? Why do they even call it question time? Nothing gets answered, instead they just shout, attack and mock each other until time runs out. Same thing on social media. Monkeys see, monkeys do. ![]() |

While clinical trials would help provide definitive answers, much like other treatments that have been discussed at length, there’s literally no downside here to the general population being proactive, especially those most vulnerable in the community. |

The ABC has undertaken a mid-pandemic reinvention of their news front page; as always less is more - less “content at a glance” and more trying to second-guess your news reading interests.
You certainly feel it’s a format that could be more easily manipulated to “feel” comprehensive whilst cynically filtering. They were stupid enough to invite viewer commentary on it’s form… |

I will reopen it for now but let me make two things crystal clear.
Statements of an overtly political nature will be removed and repeat offenders will lose access to this sub-forum. Statements that I consider to be trolling will meet the same fate.

According to the averages compiled by Real Clear Politics, Hillary Clinton led Donald Trump by six percentage points in late June, trailed him by one a month later, was up by eight in mid-August, was nearly tied in late September, gained a fresh seven-point advantage in mid-October and saw it dwindle to two by last week. But at the end of this whiplash-inducing political roller coaster, the national polls have come into alignment and settled right around their long-term averages.

Below is the latest advice from our esteemed Costa Rica government.. (I translated it from Spanish, so apologies if some terminology is a bit iffy!)
◉ Due to the potential collapse that could affect the Health System, we, the health professionals, have prepared this message for the population, in case you do not want to risk going to a hospital immediately; __________ ◉ Symptoms appear from the third day after infection (virus symptoms). ➙ 1st phase; ◉ Body pain ◉ Eye pain ◉ Headache ◉ Vomiting ◉ Diarrhea Runny nose or nasal congestion ◉ Decay ◉ Burning eyes ◉ Burning when urinating ◉ Feeling feverish ◉ Scratched throat (sore throat) ➙ It is very important to count the days of symptoms: 1st, 2nd, 3rd. ◉ It is necessary to act before the fever appears. ◉ Attention, it is very important to drink plenty of fluids, especially purified water. Drink plenty of water to keep your throat dry and to help clear your lungs. __________ ➙ 2nd phase; (from 4th to 8th day) inflammatory. ◉ Loss of taste and / or smell ◉ Tiredness with minimal efforts ◉ Chest pain (rib cage) ◉ Tightness in the chest ◉ Pain in the lower back (in the region of the kidneys) __________ ➙ The virus attacks nerve endings; ◉ The difference between tiredness and shortness of breath: • _Shortness of air, is when the person is sitting - without making any effort - and is short of breath; • Tiredness, is when the person moves to do something simple and feels tired. __________ ➙ A lot of hydration and vitamin C are needed. __________ Cov Covid-19 binds oxygen, therefore the quality of the blood is poor, with less oxygen. __________ ➙ 3rd phase - healing; ◉ On day 9, the healing phase enters, which can last until day 14 (convalescence). ◉ Don't delay treatment, the sooner the better! __________ ➙ Good luck everyone! It is better that we keep these recommendations, prevention is never too much! • Sit in the sun for 15 to 20 minutes • Rest and sleep for at least 7 to 8 hours. • Drink 1 and a half liters of water a day • All foods should be hot (not cold). ➙ Keep in mind that the pH of the coronavirus ranges from 5.5 to 8.5. So all we have to do to eliminate the virus is eat more alkaline foods, above the acid level of the virus. Such as; ◉ Bananas, Green Lemon → 9.9 pH ◉ Yellow lemon → 8.2 pH ◉ Avocado (Avocado) - 15.6 pH ◉ Garlic - 13.2 pH ◉ Mango - pH 8.7 ◉ Tangerine - 8.5 pH ◉ Pineapple (Pineapple) - 12.7 pH ◉ Watercress - 22.7 pH ◉ Oranges - 9.2 pH __________ ➙ How do you know you have Covid-19 ?! ◉ Itchy throat ◉ Dry throat ◉ Dry cough ◉ High temperature ◉ Difficulty breathing ◉ Loss of smell and taste __________

Interestingly enough stats from Dr Sutton say 40% of the population has a co-morbidity. That's an indictment on the health system in general and one could argue the governments idea of health is not in fact health but sickness. I've not heard any suggestions from the government to improve ones health and immune system during this outbreak.

52 new cases for Australia and 8 deaths sees the CMR rise to 2.92% while active drop to 2,880. NSW recorded 9 cases; Queensland & WA 1 each with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian 14 day moving average is now 90.3.
6 new cases and zero deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.347% and active cases rise to 123. The UK had 2,460 new cases yesterday and as we know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines we are going to ignore those figures. Just over 24k new cases in the USA yesterday and 286 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.984% and active cases drop to 39.1% with the raw numbers dropping again. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global deaths pass 900k, with the last 50k taking 9 days; India completes 50M tests; Argentina passes 500k cases; Asia records a new daily high of 118.301 for new cases; Israel (3,590), Spain (8,964) and Argentina (12,027) all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

It’s mask mask mask, social distancing, etc... (And fines, fines, fines) With zero advice on how to lower your own Personal risk.. diet wise, vitamin wise, sunlight wise.... I have no idea about their pH bit, or the evidence supporting same? But a diet supplement of bananas, pineapple, avocado and garlic couldn’t hurt anyone?

Exactly.
Banana smoothies with a dash of ginger syrup before 5PM and a shot of vodka thereafter. Pineapple on a pizza. Garlic and avocado = nachos. Costa Rica, here I come! ![]() |

The whole idea of quarantine is to keep people isolated from the outside world, so they don't spread it. There is no need to weld the doors shut if they actually treated quarantine like it's supposed to be ![]() If the government put in place the correct security/systems the second wave wouldn't have happened. Nearly every case now can be traced back to this quarantine debacle. What part of that don't you get? The idiots didn't comply and spread it around BECAUSE THEY WERE ALLOWED TO. Quote:

It's not got a whole lot to do with the health system in general but rather the lifestyles we lead and the fact that most of those ailments are readily managed by medication and are generally not immediately life threatening in themselves with the exception of (some) cancers of course. Hypertension (apart from hereditary types) is linked to poor exercise, diets high in salt and saturated fat as well as diabetes. Type 2 diabetes (the more common kind) is also linked to diet. CVD is linked to both diabetes and hypertension as well as diet, smoking and physical condition (obesity being a major cause). COPD is linked to environmental factors and smoking. Cancer is the great unknown in terms of causal factors that may or may not be in our control. I'm also not absolutely sure that all the advice provided by the CR Government has sound basis in scientific facts but at least there isn't anything in it to worsen the situation.

However.... If some “official“ advice on lowering your covid risk mentioned simple stuff like vitamin C, D, pineapples, bananas, garlic etc etc.... I’m positive people would give it a crack! (And a boost to our produce markets)

So why do they stick a huge swab up your nose, instead of a urine test?
