Once again we have the actual numbers, albeit five dead not three. We have NSW possibly coming in with fewer covid positive numbers in the near future. But give me a break, its deaths baby, deaths. Five. Five in seven months. The country would have five die in five days when the flu was raging. I hope people remember the flu because they sure as hell have forgotten 800 dead in Victoria it seems. Where were the journos when flu was killing plenty. No first sentence on the six oclock news from a sincere looking telly person feigning shock and awe. But lo and behold, for the past sixteen months, that's all we have been getting. The chances of dying so far are so damn low it is a great thing and we have many to thank for that. I would actually hazard a guess that you have more chance of being killed by a white pointer shark that covid considering the amount of people who visit the beach. That puts this in perspective but which has proven to have more shock value? You betcha.

Incidentally, i just checked. Over 1000 people die each year in traffic accidents. We just put up with it. we already know jan 1 each year that we are going to lose 1000 lives. guaranteed. we put a few commercials out there to ease our conscience and maybe help some people. but thats all. We dont lockdown the roads or lower the speed limit.
