Why block Indian flights instead of USA flights ?

Current figures:
USA 98k cases per million 1764 deaths per million.
India 13k cases per million 142 deaths per million.

My views in Feb. I think this suggested approach is still the best way to proceed. We now have 1 million doses of the AZ vaccine produced here per week Let’s inoculate at-risk Australians then send Covid vaccines overseas
 
In photos I see where Covid is still spreading widely (India, Europe, Americas) eye protection seems to be often missing. You need eye protection eg with face shields, as well as wearing a mask. For SARS-CoV-2: eye protection is a missing key element

100% - urgent need for vaccine supplies to go up in the region. Fiji, Timor Leste, PNG in the Indo-Pacific region amongst other countries have increasing cases. vaccination will be one of the most helpful tools in slowing the spread & increasing donations in the region needed.

No. With the utmost politeness, "we" will not "leave it at that". You can draw up your own line of engagement but you cannot draw up mine. That's merely logical, is it not? I reserve the right to act as a verbal coroner upon the corpse of such an argument. (By argument, I mean ❝A connected series of statements or reasons intended to establish a position (and, hence, to refute the opposite); a process of reasoning; argumentation.❞

You don't believe that I am "coming from where [I] say [I am]." I reject that absolutely. I have posted truthfully, without deception. Your comment does not make sense and has no justification.

 

I should mention that although I find the comment objectively offensive, I refuse to take offence at it. Internet accusations of that sort - non-specific, unsupported - are best not taken personally, and that is the way that I will handle that particular contumely.

 

I remain open to discussion but am increasingly of the view that at least one reason why you speak of an inability to engage in proper discussion is that you won't address an argument (i.e., debate, discussion) in a spirit of exchange. I'm sorry that you're not willing to engage in that sense.

 

The topic of this thread is certainly creating passionate defences or accusations in the news as we speak, and both sides of the argument have compelling aspects. In my view it cannot have been an easy decision for the government, and isn't a permanent one. Certainly improvements in quarantine are something many of us are advocating. As said (just briefly), the issue is currently risk assessment leading to risk mitigation, which is standard in an infection control process.

I don't know what your capitalised wink is intended to imply. I also don't know what you mean by "A veiled something!"; I can only assume that you are implying some sort of deception again. One who has the courage of his convictions would either explain or apologise, but I don't expect either. Again, I refuse to take offence.

 

 

Re your "general" comments... I am disengaging at this point, and wish you well.

If you don't mind Countess - this needs repeating.

"Multifaceted highly targeted sequential multidrug treatment of early ambulatory high-risk SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19)"

What a little goldmine for 'Big Pharma" 😲


                                                -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Take the widely-used for many years hydroxychlorquine for example. It is used in ongoing treatment for various medical conditions. For Covid 19 treatment, the does are different and the course much more shorter than for other conditions. It is not used on its own and another two  or so drugs are used plus  mineral and vitamins supplements. Steroid treatment is incorporated. These are likely to be from a range of suppliers rather than one. Professor McCullough explains this in his below Outsiders interview

 

Outsiders - Interviewee: Dr Peter McCulllough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdsAVTkSDhM

Jeff Crilley show - Guests: Dr. Al Johnson & Dr. Peter McCullough

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LW1QQWI4nk

 

Take ongoing booster vaccines and potentially other vaccines for variants etc., I wonder who's really going to "make" out of a very cheaply produced proven effective drug which is just one component of a prescribed treatment. I don't see mega buck$$$ being made here! Perhaps elsewhere!

 

The main thing is to get the people home. Quarantine can make the process possible. First an incompetent admin needs to be pulled into line.

I hope nobody's pulling his strings now. I hope that Peter Collignon will take the time to listen to what Dr. Peter McCullough and others similar are saying.

No wonder Cult Morrison admires PM Modi.

                                     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol no surprises. I agree! 

And .......  A dictator in the making here. Yes, the cult thing. One of them is the same one that many believe is a  backer of a certain former  Bush-serving pseudo-PM in invading a country  with what folks say was nothing more based on cooked up info. Yes, I agree there. So do grieving famlies!  And look at the chaotic state of the region now. Could a Christian church be responsible supporting war? A pseudo one yes!

A closer look at Scott Morrison’s CV

Morrison's pre-parliament career casts doubt over his strategic campaigning abilities, his management skills and an apparent tendency towards a lack of transparency.

These Australian citizens, the ones who intended leaving India need to be back here ASAP. I personally believe that this current admin has what I and others see to be a highly incompetent level of dealing with certain issues ad crises.

The figures for the last 7 days does not bode well for India:

 

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/weekly-trends/#weekly_table

 

The decision that was announced today is partly based on the numbers of returned travellers from India who are testing positive in hotel quarantine.

 

Also, the predictions are that within a week the (official) daily new case count will exceed 500,000 AND the health care system is already stretched beyond maximum capacity.

 

The other thing to think about is the accuracy of the case count.  I think that in most of the countries with high counts that the real count is higher than the reported count.  With the high population in India it is quite possible that the daily count is already much higher than the 300,000+ that is reported.

 

If India doesn’t get some control over the spread of the virus they will catch the USA in total cases in a matter of months.

 

That is why flights from India are being ‘paused’ until 15th May.


Just getting back on track.............carry on
