Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, charged over the death of African American man George Floyd, has been released on a one-million-dollar bond.

Mr Chauvin was charged in late May with second degree murder and manslaughter. Video footage captured the former police officer kneeling on Mr Floyd's neck for eight minutes in an incident which sparked mass protests across the United States and the world.

The other three officers involved were charged with aiding and abetting murder and manslaughter. Mr Chauvin was being held at the Minnesota Correctional Facility before being released on bail. The 44-year-old is expected to appear in court in March and could face up to 40 years in prison if convicted.

UK’s shrinking second wave COVID-19 death rate ‘biased’ by testing | Sky News AustraliaAn infectious diseases expert says the discrepancy between the UK’s soaring daily infection rate and the mortality count compared to the first wave is a result of missed cases in the beginning.\n\n“It’s really a function I think of, in the UK in particular, they missed most of their cases during their first wave,” ANU Professor Peter Collignon said.\n\n“I have relatives in the UK who I’m pretty sure had COVID, but they couldn’t get a test, and they were young, and they recovered.”\n\nProfessor Collignon told Sky News host Chris Kenny that while treatment had improved since the pandemic began, it was still not “all that flash”.\n\n“The treatment we’ve got is still not all that flash, I mean we don’t have a magic drug that makes it go away, we do have things that save people or decrease their chance of dying if they’re in intensive care, but none of the drugs are dramatic,” he said.\n\n“It’s better supportive care, better fluids, we know more about the clotting.\n\n“So, yes, the deaths are lower but I think it’s mainly an artifact related to the age of the people being tested.”\n\nProfessor Collignon said people in their 20s and 30s have a mortality rate of about one in 10,000 while people above the age of 85 have a one in three chance.\n\n“So the age of the people getting infected has a big effect,” he said. \n\n“And I think as the problem has gone, older people are getting infected less often compared to young people, and there’s more testing, so that can give us a bias that makes it look like the mortality rate is lower now than it was before.”\n\nMost studies agree the median time from the onset of symptoms to an admission to an intensive care unit is about 10 days. Trump already proved that it's not lethal. Stop the freaking hysteria Well if it is the result of missed cases in the beginning then that is the complete and utter incompetent government not using the technology at hand to actually test for Coronavirus using the correct virology system required. Instead this is the Scamdemic narrative to doomsday

Australia must 'focus on productivity' to 'get on top of budget red ink' | Sky News AustraliaThe Herald Sun Business Columnist Terry McCrann says focusing on productivity is the fundamental thing which the government should be doing in seeking to drive the economy.\n\n'If we're ever going to get on top of the budget red ink, we have to be focused on actually generating more out of what we can produce,' Mr McCrann told Sky News host Peta Credlin. \n\nMr McCrann's comments come as the federal budget is set to be handed down on Tuesday evening. \n\nHe said 'we need to focus on a real value-added economy going forward that emulates what's happened to our north in Asia'. \n\n'Where you actually produce more productivity'. \n\n Im very impressed with sky at the moment. I'm glad you called him a business columnist because he knows nothing about economics.

Australia is heading towards a ‘socialist future’: Maurice Newman | Sky News AustraliaFormer ABC chairman Maurice Newman says Australia is moving to a socialist future because there are no plans to rein in spending.\n\n“That’s where we’re headed, I don’t want to sound alarmist, some people may not be alarmed by the prospect of a socialist future, but we are headed in that direction,” the former stockbroker said.\n\n“Because there are no plans that I have seen to rein in this expenditure, there’s no plans that I have seen to reduce energy costs by a substantial amount, nothing to do away with a lot of the red and green tape which is hampering businesses, particularly small businesses, and the IR reforms that are necessary – that discussion is not on the table.\n\n“Until we get to those sorts of issues, the prospect of growth is, I think, very difficult to have in any sort of sensible way.”\n\nMr Newman told Sky News host Peta Credlin gross debt had reached such a lofty figure it’s become “mind-boggling”.\n\n“If you go back three years, we were $573 billion gross debt, we’re now $1.1 trillion gross debt,” he said. \n\n“And just going back 13 years we were $75 billion.\n\n“We’re getting to the stage now where we’re really looking down the barrel of however we are going to pay this money back.\n“And I think this is a real challenge.”\n\nMr Newman also pointed out the looming debt growing in the states.\n\n“If you look at state debt, just Queensland and Victoria, out to 2023 we’re looking at something like $170 billion worth of debt there as well,” he said. Ughk 😂😂 I look forward to getting my share of ownership of the means of production.
