Whooooo caresssssss

A wave? Front line health care worker here - haven't noticed any difference. Pure media drivel.

No.....Most are over it and not mentioning it. Plenty of people sick at the moment in my town, something is going around, but we are carrying on like its 1999. :)

Apart from Norman Swan, this will surprise nobody.

This is hate speech and dangerous misinformation. Double masking should be mandated immediately and rolling snap lockdowns implemented to achieve dynamic covid zero. Christmas gatherings must be banned to stop this deadly new subvariant from taking hold .

Are we all suppose to be scared?

More like the fear is losing momentum.

No one gives a shit.. its shitty cold...

'Losing momentum' since when? Yesterday? And based on what data? Actual covid numbers haven't been collected by govts in Oz for many, many months now.

Never test again, no boosters! Covid is over, stop reporting on it!

Watch this space.

Mass propaganda vaxx program by ABC is a sad display of degenerate bill ill ionair G8tes triple death cult action first greatest transfer of wealth in human history in shortest time greatest sudden deaths and 2 dump Trump but his card 2 play to win this game finally

That’s because none of us give a shit about this scam

I'm so glad I pay for this trash

ABC disappointed they can’t keep fear mongering

How would they know, proper testing doesn’t exist

Hahah nobody cares

Slightly less increase is not a decline. Encouraging people to take care and MaskUp would be responsible

Just like it did with every other variant. Summer is almost here. Sun is out people are enjoying themselve

Quelle surprise 🙄

Ah-hem. Data please.

Good so we can stop hearing about it then.

Awww, drkerrynphelps and normanswan will be so disappointed. What will they be able to doom about now?

It's just the common cold

What a croc of shit that is …everything we see at work & in the community is exactly the opposite.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Duh

Must see must share

Data is incomplete, therefore inaccurate. So, where are we, really?

Cause people aren’t getting anymore vaccines? It’s been spreading by injections?

There is no mandatory reporting, where does this data come from?

Lying propagandists

So COVID is over… time to sack normanswan … his fear propaganda is no longer relevant

Precisely the opposite of what my pharmacist told me today. In fact, she expressed concern that things were going to get much worse quickly given what she's seeing coming through the door. Here's hoping the data is on the money.

I thought everyone was vaccinated in Australia?

It's a little early to say 'losing momentum'

Aunty, you're being an absolute Doris.

If this saves just 1 life World Premiere: Died Suddenly – Stew Peters

Weakest cold I’ve ever had. Move on.

The virtue signaling zealots and health boffins will have nothing to complain about

But.... But Norman said it was hard to predict what the wave was going to do. You mean to tell me he was talking out of his arse? AGAIN? It's barely been a week since his Warne and Kitching comments.

Hahaha it barely even started. Like we told you all along. If you had of just looked at how the wave went everywhere else in the world you would have saved yourself from embarrassment as per usual.

Er, what data? Anyway, RemindMe_OfThis in two weeks time. Covid19Australia CovidIsNotOver

You mean if the government stops telling people how to live things work out?

The fearmongering is about as effective as the vaccine was.

Alot of bloody good those jabs were/are ABC...

Zero farks given by anyone

No. The media and political fear is losing momentum. People are getting on with their lives, colds and all.

Haha based on what? 🤦‍♀️

This guy Rightpunter is the only hope that gamblers have as per now. Have tried his matches and trully it's a big gain to anyone who wants to win To me Rightpunter remains my best punter in twitter You might be having your own opinion but keep it I talk what I see

Because public opinion is nobody cares.🙄👍

Based on RAT tests that don't work anymore?
