haha I can imagine after the 4 months I've discussed this issue with you...goes like this, no sorry I can't accept that Info due to;
MSM- Nope don't like that guy, he has been labelled due to unsubstantiated unproven allegations.
Other MSM - Nope that guy appears to have had his friends back when unsubstantiated unproven allegations were made.
MSM posted on Youtube - Nope sorry, not accepting Info from youtube coz I didn't see the original broadcast, could be fake? lol
YT Alternative media - Nope sorry I classify this as YT & as previously stated I have limited allowable information sources.
I feel that unless I purchase a (MSM) main stream media company that you like & broadcast stories you agree with you will not watch, listen to or consider the information presented as worthy 
I try to watch/listen to as many information sources as possible. I may not agree with everything I hear, but I think its better than imposing limits. Even if you dislike someone for whatever reason, that person could be privy to unique information or ideas you have not yet been exposed.
A lot of people I considered to be far left have been copping crap for stepping out of line lately, the exceedingly narrower narratives, I think we need to be careful not to allow our choice of paths in respect to information to become too narrow. The more information we have the better & let us choose, let us make our own judgements for our thoughts & opinions.

Please can you guys just ****** agree to disagree phew
No Mac I can't see that happening.
hey and that's cool. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion, even if Mick is wrong
Mate I've read every post you guys have posted entertaining
Me too. And I heard this is where Wayne Bennett comes to keep up to date on the virus.
WOW thanks for the heads up.
no coach against the donkeys , we could be in trouble
I hear that MickPC told Bennett it was okay to go out for lunch so long as he went to a 5G blackspot and wore an alfoil Rabbitohs beanie. Don't know if that's true but I saw something about it on Youtube. Or some Sky News racist dimwit said it and I like to source my info from a wide range of places. 
Ok so a quick take on Sweden I'm happy to expand upon later. Finally got things sorted on my website but took a few breaks between to do some reading.
Firstly there has been a great deal of negative media against Sweden & with the knowledge of google supporting a negative narrative I used DuckDuckGo search engine which still served up MSM articles. I guess I read about 8 more resent ones from the last 3 weeks & a Wiki which ran through a timeline of Swedens C19 events.
I will look into it more as its brought up time & time again....Ok so a quick summary.
* Sweden was one of the earlier countries effected at a time when PPE was in short supply due to China sourcing PPE from arround the world which left them in short supply. Like Australia & other countries experienced. Lead to the creation of the home made masks that are still popular today & have become a fashion statement for some.
* Sweden subsequently experienced a high fatality rate due to inadequate PPE & safety precautions for the elderly in aged care due to PPE shortages & staff shortages.
*Sweden hit its high fatality rate at the start of June & has dropped significantly since. I would say this is due to those that are most at risk being exposed to the virus & also the change of season into summer. As the virus has been shown to be susceptible to UV light, so becoming less transmittable from surface transmission.
My take is its far too early to compare Sweden with Australia when Sweden has a dropping fatality rate, Australia has an increasing one & Sweden is not experiencing the high number of mental health issues that Australia is experiencing. And yes I think we should be measuring by fatality, not "cases", but this adds the challenge of ideniting C19 mental health fatalities.
Personally I think it will come down to short term vs long term effects between the strategies deployed.

So in affect you are saying their strategy failed. so the difference in the fact they have 4x more deaths than an Australian Flu season is we put strategies in play that have worked. btw In our first lockdown In QLD we didn't have enough PPE another fact. Another thing mick you don't know the impacts from a lockdown versus free range on mental health as lots of people have lost jobs from COVID-19. Airports are just one of them + mental health issues don't just appear overnight. Sadly lots had issues way before

The lockdown in Oz has failed, not to mention the effect on mental health, job loss & the economy.
In effect I clearly stated its too early to compare to Oz yet alone anywhere else that has stats even less favourable to compare.
In your first lockdown the virus was far from prevelent in the community...but yes the world faced a PPE shortage.

"We're all in this together"...similar policies, response & same federal reserve. If we had focussed on those at risk, keeping everyone employed, not over reacting we could have provided first class care..& for how many years, now that is a calculation that needs to be made...I'm guessing a lot less than it will take to pay off the current Australian debt.

Mick that is truly funny,that picture with an overlay of Sweden on Australia.
why place it in the middle of Australian desert country even Australians don't live there.
secondly it's obvious you didn't read my post months ago in regards to this exact thing, I said if you placed Sweden over Australias east coast it would cover Melbourne Sydney Brisbane. Now do you math on who is more populated. Yes I'm dismissing The rest of Australia we still smash Sweden in population. Stockholm is the biggest city in Sweden coming in at 1.5 you tell me what Melbourne Brisbane or Sydney is. Don't use,Sweden is More populated as this is not true.
We as humans do not learn from history and are therefore doomed to repeat it. The Spanish flu lasted for 2 years. The second wave killed far more people than the first, and in total there were 4 waves.
It killed somewhere between 20 million to 50 million people. Citizens were ordered to wear masks, and everywhere shut down and boarded up schools, movie theaters, and business. Mail distribution stopped, as did garbage collection.
Many people had to dig graves for their own family members.
Here we are 100 years later, and what have we learned? Half the people do not want to wear masks because they think it is a hoax/it is not that bad/the government is lying/insert insane right-wing conspiracy theory rhetoric here.
People want to prioritize their own narcissistic desires and privileges over other human beings' lives.
What did they have in 1918? No TV. No internet, not a lot of food supply.
What do we have? TV, internet, movies that can be watched from home, UberEATS...you name it. And yet we are a world full of entitled and selfish people who lack human empathy and act oppressed when given any minute sense of responsibility.
Travel is not a necessity. Movie theaters are not a necessity. Throwing parties is not a necessity.
Being a decent human being should not be a revolutionary act....it should be common sense.
(This was shared to me from a friend. Cheers Jason)

Here we are 100 years later, and what have we learned? Half the people do not want to wear masks because they think it is a hoax/it is not that bad/the government is lying/insert insane right-wing conspiracy theory rhetoric here.
People want to prioritize their own narcissistic desires and privileges over other human beings' lives.
What did they have in 1918? No TV. No internet, not a lot of food supply.
What do we have? TV, internet, movies that can be watched from home, UberEATS...you name it. And yet we are a world full of entitled and selfish people who lack human empathy and act oppressed when given any minute sense of responsibility.
Travel is not a necessity. Movie theaters are not a necessity. Throwing parties is not a necessity.
Being a decent human being should not be a revolutionary act....it should be common sense.

We as humans do not learn from history and are therefore doomed to repeat it. The Spanish flu lasted for 2 years. The second wave killed far more people than the first, and in total there were 4 waves.

What a load of bull****
I will be back shortly with a YouTube clip to prove this bull**** wrong
All you sheeple are the problem
www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/study-coronavirus-restrictions-killing-10-000-children-per-month-and-wasting-and-stunting-millions-more
A new study shows that coronavirus restrictions and lockdowns are leading to the deaths 10,000 children per month and stunting the growth of millions more."It's been seven months since the first COVID-19 cases were reported, and it is increasingly clear that the repercussions of the pandemic are causing more harm to children than the disease itself," UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore said. "Household poverty and food insecurity rates have increased."The study, conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University and published in the Lancet medical journal, said that hunger stemming from coronavirus restrictions is causing the deaths of 10,000 children per month and stunting the growth of another 550,000 per month."By having schools closed, by having primary healthcare services disrupted, by having nutritional programs dysfunctional, we are also creating harm," Victor Aguayo, the head of UNICEF's nutrition program, said.The disruption of food chains has caused prices to rise, making it difficult for many regions that already had difficulty acquiring food before the pandemic even more difficult, and Dr. Francesco Branca of the World Health Organization said the disruption will be evident for years to come."The food security effects of the COVID crisis are going to reflect many years from now," Branca said. "There is going to be a societal effect."An "increase in child malnutrition" is causing "steep declines in household incomes, changes in the availability and affordability of nutritious foods, and interruptions to health, nutrition, and social protection services," according to the study. "Estimates from the International Food Policy Research Institute suggest that because of the pandemic an additional 140 million people will be thrown into living in extreme poverty on less than $1.90 per day in 2020. According to the World Food Program, the number of people in low and middle income countries facing acute food insecurity will nearly double to 265 million by the end of 2020."The warning of the dire repercussions of the pandemic as well as the efforts to combat it echo the findings of other studies that have suggested lockdowns are costing a significant amount of harm.One study published in May suggested that coronavirus restrictions will destroy seven times more years of life than lockdowns will save.Another study showed that drug overdoses are skyrocketing since lockdowns were imposed, and a doctor in California told a local news outlet he believes suicides are rising as well.

haha I can imagine after the 4 months I've discussed this issue with you...goes like this, no sorry I can't accept that Info due to;
MSM- Nope don't like that guy, he has been labelled due to unsubstantiated unproven allegations.
Other MSM - Nope that guy appears to have had his friends back when unsubstantiated unproven allegations were made.
MSM posted on Youtube - Nope sorry, not accepting Info from youtube coz I didn't see the original broadcast, could be fake? lol
YT Alternative media - Nope sorry I classify this as YT & as previously stated I have limited allowable information sources.
I feel that unless I purchase a (MSM) main stream media company that you like & broadcast stories you agree with you will not watch, listen to or consider the information presented as worthy
I try to watch/listen to as many information sources as possible. I may not agree with everything I hear, but I think its better than imposing limits. Even if you dislike someone for whatever reason, that person could be privy to unique information or ideas you have not yet been exposed.
A lot of people I considered to be far left have been copping crap for stepping out of line lately, the exceedingly narrower narratives, I think we need to be careful not to allow our choice of paths in respect to information to become too narrow. The more information we have the better & let us choose, let us make our own judgements for our thoughts & opinions.
Msm is bad says the bloke that just posted some clips from the largest mainstream media corporation in the world that makes there income from ad sales based on views. And are known for sensational "journalism"
Also he posts clips from the largest media Corp in the world, Google but tells us the censor people and are bad.
So what is it Mick? They are fine when they suit you but bad when they don't?
There is a huge difference between informed information and opinon. 90% of what you post is someone's opinon. In addition there is a huge difference between an educated opinon and some shock jock spewing bile for rating. Mostly these people are media personalities or people with an overstated sense of importance that are uneducated, untrained in the field they are discussing but you are buying them as the saviours for the poor uninformed masses.

Great post.
It's Intereting the same types of myths, conspiracy and nutbag thinking reoccurs with these events. You'd think humans would learn from the past.
Mick I wanted to draw your attention to B&Bs post. No comment? Correct me if I'm wrong but I get the feeling you are only interested in what you've got to say. Is that what conspiracy theorist do?
now where is that Sweden has 5x Australia's population post. It just disappeared
www.climatechangecommunication.org/how-to-spot-covid19-conspiracy-theories/
I reckon your ticking all the boxes Mick
You guys should ask Laurie for an alert app, so do don't have to sit there refreshing the page all morning waiting to ambush me lol
SP I've posted heaps of info from MSM media sources, I've refrained from posting non msm in here for a long time. I don't say MSM media is bad, but a mainstream media narrative of peddling fear is...
But hey, sensationalising stories and big headlines are the first thing you learn in journalism school. They all do it. Thats why we should get our info from diverse sources & judge for ourselves. Like you say, facts can be presented in different ways.

Checking off the persecuted victim box
And the contradictory box..
.
All of your posts peddle fear. Look at the drivel you post from Boobtube.
That is the worse, at least journalist have some standards and oversight. The foil hat brigade you post from YouTube are the least believable.
Plenty of info out there mate, your continual insistence we don't look is ****ing stupid. I post stats site and medical journals and you post a couple of shock jock pedos from the Murdoch empire. Please. You're the wokest of the woke, can't think for yourself just gag on the big anti intelligence conspiracy cock being rammed down your throat.
Journalism school
what happens after school , do you get a job in a journalism factory.
lmfao
Mick if I played in a team environment I'd have you in my team any day. WHY? Because even when you're getting absolutely smashed you pick yourself up and have another crack
