Australia, 5 years in

• For the first eight months of 2024, against a baseline that includes anticipated COVID-19 deaths:
  
  • total mortality was 2% higher than predicted;
  • COVID-19 mortality was 70% higher than predicted;
  • Non-COVID respiratory mortality was 8% higher than predicted, with pneumonia deaths 14% higher; and
  • these outcomes are all statistically significant.
  
  
• There have been five deaths from COVID-19 for every death from influenza.
• Mortality from non-respiratory causes has been close to predicted.

With the vast lion's share dying on that squattin' in the White House watch, that rotten swore on the Good Book such..."I'll shut it down."

Trump: 400k dead Americans.
Squattin' Biden: Over 750,000 dead Americans, & counting.

And daddy, I ain't gonna miss a one who is tagged & bagged on that Biden's crooked watch.

I'm not for lockdowns now, just pointing out you're full of .

I'm a swiss cheese theory guy -- layered protection.

In principle, the burden of respiratory disease -- and the corresponding cost to businesses --could be greatly reduced by sanitizing indoor air and wearing masks during flu season.
