i won't google anything about this, i know we don't have enough Blood for that scale of transfusion.
sadly i can't give blood,,use to donate all the time.

this not an attack question

when was the last time people here gave blood

Yep used to know a lot of old horsemen who swore by it...
Definitely not something which would go down well with the anti racing people these days.
They don't want my blood.... lived in the UK in the 90's so they think I have Mad Cows

so considering a month ago we were looking at 3.6% mortality to a prediction of around 5.5 to 5.9%
i think they have a fair idea of where we are at.

How's those stats looking now?

what are you talking about?

i don't count in 000.00.00 because i TRY counting using my own brain.
So go get your calculator and if you think the calculations of the predictions above
are so far different than bellow, you post it champion.

Heres the thing. If you only test a selected group of high risk people, arent the stats of those infected and recovered skewed.
For all i know i might have had it and recovered without me or anyone else being the wiser????

At your age probably not. But it has happened. And depending on testing we have the best in the world going by the figures the government showed on a recent briefing.

Ive herd about testing sewage for Meth in community's, and last nights news think it was Sky said they can test sewage for covid.

Ask a scientist..you can go on the abc and ask questions(oh i can hear the andrew bolt lovers groaning ),also dr karl has answered your concern which seems to be the trending conspiracy on facebook atm lol

Opinions are one thing and are good for discussing, yet most of your question marks lacey should all be asked and aimed at the science community and your answers are there


Use the google for good luke ...it is a powerful force

Dr Carl believes in herd immunity. not doing Sweden much good , but depends if you believe in higher death rates Vs keeping jobs.

Yep..

Of course they are not a representative of the entire population. They may not even comparable period on period due to the changing testing regime..

Until recently the testing was pretty much defined to a select group. Broader now. So on both sides there is likely more cases that weren't tested and also a high number of test that are positive cause they were targeted.

Stats are wonderful and informative. You just need to understand how the numbers are arrived at and what they actually represent.


Unemployment next.

Unemployment number will be seriously skewed.


Job keeper payment and people being stood down means people will still be classed as employed.
Also people aren't looking for work which means a reduced participation rate.

The other factor is peope whose hours have been reduced won't be captured either so the headline number might look OK I've seen predictions of an increase from 5% ish to 7.5 - 10% but the real impact will be much higher as the reduction in household income will not be represented in the unemployment number

The government policies on testing have been tight. No doubt.
My understanding is they are wanting to test wider when they can.

Unemployment .
Hurts to think about

Funny as Dutton wants answers. Good luck.

They already test for drugs amongst other things in our sewage

Dr Karl explained the numbers is what i was trying to say

THANKS MATE.
