"For most of this year, I have decided to not comment further on Covid-19.
Given the lack of appetite for truth about the pandemic, I have declined all
media requests. There seems to be a dogged determination to pretend everything
is okay. Anyone who suggests otherwise is shot down in flames.
We live in silence with Covid, with testing harder to access, the rights of
workers to a safe workplace eroded, hospitals chronically overburdened and
Covid-19 now in all states and territories. The false premise of the Doherty
report – that test and trace would remain intact – is long forgotten, even
though it was the basis for opening up and keeping case numbers manageable.
New cases remain about 60,000 a day in Australia, with an upward trend. In
states such as New South Wales the numbers are bouncing around but have
increased since a low of 4916 daily cases on February 21. In the past week,
they have ranged from 17,000 to more than 25,000 a day.
Part of the problem is the lack of testing and the lack of reporting. The
message of “live with it” runs counter to the importance of reporting a
positive test, if you can afford one. PCR testing remains restricted, so daily
case numbers are a substantial underestimate and even the trends may not be
accurate."
