I still feel that AZ got stitched up hard. Pfizer costs 76p to make, "excluding research and distribution"....and probably anti marketing campaign against the likes of AZ I reckon (all IMHO). ‘Wall of secrecy’ in Pfizer contracts as company accused of profiteering https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...f-profiteering

Too right that AstraZeneca was done over. Once again, the Australian population rushed towards a “fully imported” product over local content. We have form in this, is the best one could say.
Covid related, the specialist I saw this morning was venting about deferrals and disruptions to scheduled checkups and (deemed) less essential procedures. Moreso that every time the problem presented a slightly different facet the doctors were all drawn into meetings and more diversion from actually clearing the backlog. He was not a happy bunny about this; you could see he felt it was stopping him from improving lives. Last edited by Citroënbender; 06-12-2021 at 06:31 PM. |

An old mate of mine who was a truck driver, well he had to have a chest xray, he was about 50, they found some anomalies in both lungs, non smoker, but both lungs were scarred by something, not cancer but something else, they were concerned a bit by it but he was very fit and healthy, spiromitry tests were all fine, they worked out it was scarring from a bout of chickenpox when he was 10 years old.

Australian scientists seem to have discovered a cause for Omicron?

So Just because I want to poke the bear -
Why did the world get so offended at people talking about Hydroxychloroquin, Azithromycin and Ivermectim as potential treatment options for Covid-19 ? Surely a drug that is well established in human usage, with few, and well understood side effects, that anecdotally offer some help to some people, should be allowed, even offered as a treatment by doctor/patient agreement. And yet the world stepped in and said do not even try it or we will ridicule you. I heard one analysis said that the reason that these treatments worked is that they helped the body cope with undiagnosed minor comorbidities, leaving you in a better position to fight the virus But whatever the reasoning, why forbid a cheap, relatively harmless treatment ? I have grapefruit every day, when I offered some to a relative they said they could not have it because they were on blood pressure meds. I did some research and found that the reason for this was that the effect of the grapefruit would be to amplify the effect of blood pressure meds (and cholesterol meds too). Interestingly I do not have blood pressure problems, or cholesterol problems, even though those younger than me in my immediate family do, and I am also overweight. I am now never wanting to get off the grapefruit - I do not care that the medical community does not prescribe grapefruit for these ailments. (Please not if you have these issues, do not consider this to be medical advice) Ill admit that grapefruit is likely a lot more harmless than Hydroxychloroquin, Azithromycin and Ivermectim, but still why would we so vehemently object to them - with an almost religious fervor ? |

Why did people object to the vaccines - with an almost religious fervor, that lead them onto such alternative treatments - that likewise they'd never heard of before either, had done no personal research on but it became acceptable in their social groups?
Tribalism. Since the dawn of time it's got dumb ***** killed. For this pandemic people made the mistake of caring; I guess they learnt the lesson not to in future. I don't care anymore. |

Yep, and covid wasn't serious. It went away after the election just like he said it would too anyway. And it was only a political ploy to make him look bad, and he made the vaccines happen too don't you know. You should take them he said as well.

NSW/VIC
NSW records 260 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 1.0339 (from 1.0216) while the actual line remains above the predictive trend line. ![]() VIC records 1,185 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 1.00999 (from 0.9919) while the actual line remains below the predictive trend. ![]() Overlay… ![]() Week 21 in Victoria ended today with 111,506 cases to date compared to 20,125 at the same point of the 2020 outbreak (which was over at this point) and 73,186 for the NSW 2021 outbreak. Weekly case numbers see Victoria with 5x more cases than NSW last week and overall case numbers for Victoria are up by 344 on last week. Note that we are comparing historical data for NSW with current data for Victoria as NSW is about 3.5 weeks ahead. ![]()

I haven't been in for a while, but thought I would give you an update, my daughter (with an immune system issue) and my grand-daughter have COVID (RCH Melb on standby for her if she gets bad) , diagnosed late last week, my son-in-law also has it but it a-symptomatic, 2 other kids in the house with nothing yet, but were tested again this morning
My daughter had to have some infusion that took 4 hours due to her immune system, she has to monitor her oxygen levels and my grand-daughters oxygen levels every couple of hours But for some tools "this is all a conspiracy" - ****ing idiots
