The ‘damage is not being told’ of political fear-mongering on coronavirus | Sky News Australia

If Australia has only dozens of people in hospital and in intensive care across the country due to coronavirus, “how the hell is this a pandemic” says Sky News host Alan Jones. Mr Jones said there are “things government won’t tell” the Australia public on the issue of COVID-19. “The one story we are not being told is what damage has been done and is being done by the fear-mongering of political leaders, whose first instinct is to frighten us,” he said.

He said political leaders only listen to the experts “which suit them” and not the others who warned of the implications of the social, economic and public health consequences of widespread lockdowns. “Politicians are too arrogant to listen”. Mr Jones spoke of the widespread economic ramifications of the government-imposed coronavirus lockdowns with the Australian’s economic editor Adam Creighton.

AlanJones Perhaps Alan would like to get infected and risk 14 days in ICU?

AlanJones Your quoting this Alan Jones?

AlanJones The more sky news tweets I read, the more I view it as a conspiracy rag

AlanJones A pandemic (from Greek πᾶν, pan, 'all' and δῆμος, demos, 'people') is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of people. Apparently it fits the definition...

AlanJones

AlanJones It's a pandemic when a big percentage of the world population has the infection, if skynews don't know this they need to go back to school.

AlanJones “Pan” = present in more than one country champ 👍

AlanJones Not the sharpest tool in the shed

AlanJones I wish someone with the virus would sneeze on that old pedophile.

AlanJones In this figure Peru did hard lockdown while Brazil had hardly any lockdown do who benefited more looks like Brazil did

AlanJones Livin’ next door to Alan, Alan, who the.. (You know the rest 😏)

AlanJones Mr Jones should be careful what he wishes for....this is just the beginning

AlanJones It's not just govt leaders. More than ever, the real villains are mainstream (& social) media & their addiction to clickbait headlines & fear-based reporting instead of showing restraint & reporting no-nonsense, factual news. Govt leaders respond to 'news' same as everyone else.

AlanJones

AlanJones Brazil and States presidents think like you, AlanJones

AlanJones Alan do you not mean Victoria and NSW not Australia- YET- only hope Qld border is well protected from our southern morons. VIC & NSW.

AlanJones This flu is all about stopping trump in 2020 election, that’s it but it won’t work

AlanJones Hysteria makes good political sense- People will vote for anyone when they are afraid- even Donald Trump

AlanJones Progressive revelation of the truth by the bravest warrior scientist Dr. Yan. Hope people can feel the ominous warning between the lines. We are running out of time.

AlanJones Obviously, Mr Jones, you don't read the newspapers. Look at America or Brazil. A pandemic is not something new. The plague in the middle ages, Spanish Flu in 1918. Sadly, in those cases nobody even knew what a pandemic really was, let alone how to deal with it.

AlanJones JFC.

AlanJones

AlanJones To paraphrase Alan Jones Health of your elderly parents , grandparents, your immune deficient child is an inconvenience for the business owners to make a profit in the next few months.

AlanJones Google is pretty helpful answering questions like these...

AlanJones Sky News promotes disinformation. This is disgusting and dangerous.

AlanJones SKYNEWS along with most of its news hosts are a clear and present danger to all australians. The lies and propaganda the machine churns out false and misleading opinions on a on pandemic thats effecting us all.

AlanJones Irresponsible Alan Jones

AlanJones At least he's a real leader

DavidLeyonhjelm AlanJones What are the odds of Stage 4 to emulate NZ success? Other chaos continues!!!

AlanJones

AlanJones The media in AUS is intentionally not asking these very questions; about the numbers compared to death & population, the false-positives found in the tests, and why COVID is being used for the 'cause of death'. Because they're the EnemyOfThePeople

AlanJones

AlanJones Time to actually retire, you’ve lost your marbles old boy and what a bunch of flops spreading this irresponsible message 🖕

AlanJones

AlanJones The public are seeing through the fraud. Fed. and State Medical officals continue to commit medical fraud over the pushing of falsified numbers based on PCR Tests, which are not fit for purpose. It even mentions this in their own gov. guidelines.

AlanJones It's this kind of irresponsible retoric that will see a second wave and harsher lockdowns......

AlanJones If it is not serious..how about AlanJones puts his hand up to walk into a co-vid ward in Melbourne without PPE and say g'day to the poor souls in there

AlanJones Can you just retire and leave us alone

AlanJones How about the social distancing and all the shutdown Mr?

AlanJones Yes we should be like Florida Alan. Moron.

AlanJones Idiot.

AlanJones Stupidity at its best !

AlanJones Do you want it to get worse like overseas? Wait til it's too late & then introduce lock downs.. genius 🤦🏼‍♂️

AlanJones Lamestream media

DavidLeyonhjelm AlanJones The Health Sector, the Pharmacy sector, and the IT sector are the profiteers, that is clear.

DavidLeyonhjelm AlanJones Imagine you dropped a tennis ball, and every time it bounced, it would double in quantity. You've only got two hands. You'd want to move pretty quick, wouldn't you?

AlanJones Getting slow in your old age Jonesy?

AlanJones Mr Jones you obviously are unable to read, comprehend and see Global Virus. You are an absolute bloody disgrace. You travel worldwide and wave your magic wand over the bodies, lungs, hearts of people suffering with COVID19. Eva Ady

AlanJones

AlanJones I'm with Alan...let all the pubs & football grounds be full - unlock the lock-in patients... Can't wait for the deaths that will most likely follow... Will this be followed by zombies & werewolves? 'I am so there... /sarcasm...if you couldn't tell...

AlanJones Is this serious news or this is just a joke to let people laugh at him? WTF?!

AlanJones Lol Australia is NOT the only country on the whole earth perhaps? 😂

AusAntiLeft AlanJones WHO (World health Organisation) changed the definition of pandemic..... what we have is a fake pandemic being spewed 24/7 by pollies who are working against AU/us and MSM....

AlanJones Definition isn't based on hospital admissions but disease distribution. It affects most countries so is a pandemic. Not hard.

AlanJones pandemic /panˈdɛmɪk/ adjective (of a disease) prevalent over a whole country or the world

AlanJones This is similar to: I don’t get this virus, how can this be a virus?

AlanJones What a dumb question from a creepytoiletguy

AlanJones Perhaps he should check his dictionary. Perhaps he should just stay home and shut up. Totally worthless.

AlanJones Dear Alan, the point of the lockdown was and is to protect our health system & to save lives. Try getting a hospital bed in Florida, USA at the present time.

'Kick a Vic' mentality gets short shrift from ex-premiersFour former Victorian Premiers from both sides of politics say a 'kick a Vic' mentality has reached damaging levels and frustrations should go towards the coronavirus, not Victoria.

When we are coming out of lockdown and the rest of the country is in it going in, we will just🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ The Mexican rebellion is in motion. I felt a bit sorry for Qld after the last election.

Imagine being in Opposition for that long and after winning an election, just not really standing for anything. Perhaps they should speak to the current opposition Leader in Victoria and a couple of his dimwit members, along with Murdoch papers.

President Trump taking coronavirus seriously may be his ‘only path to re-election’ | Sky News AustraliaUS President Donald Trump making his first public appearance in a face mask could convince Republican voters coronavirus is a serious issue and may de-politicise the debate around face masks, says The Australian’s Richard Ferguson.\n\nPresident Trump is facing a considerable loss to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the November election, with a recent YouGov poll having the former vice president beating President Trump by nine points.\n\nState polls do not do the president any favours either, with Mr Biden ahead by ten points in Texas, one in Arizona, nine in Florida, and six in Michigan, all states believed to be battle-ground states in the upcoming election.\n\nMr Ferguson told Sky News host Sharri Markson, the President is down considerably against Mr Biden primarily due to the perception of his handling of coronavirus.\n\nHe said if President Trump took a stronger stand on the issue, it might be his “only path to re-election”.\n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump We shall laser focus on the real patriot scientist daylighting the truth. No vaccine could be developed without fully understand the origin of the Virus and patient ZERO. Do not miss the target. realDonaldTrump He visited a hospital. realDonaldTrump There were wounded veterans in that hospital. So he is taking precautions for their safety.
