NSW sets grim new COVID-19 death recordHospitalisations and intensive care admissions have slightly fallen again but deaths in New South Wales reached a grim record on Friday. It is beyond ridiculous to say that we’ve reached the peak of Omicron as reported case numbers are dropping. They are dropping because of RAT tests and relying on people to self-report. It’s government spin as these numbers ‘suit’ them better. Look at death rates 🤦‍♂️ This is just the beginning & when not if the masses join the dots their will & to quote a phrase - Be blood in the streets ) As more & more people loose loved ones due to the ignorance & arrogance of small minds in positions of what little power they have strived to hold 💔
