A three-year-old with a rare genetic condition has become the youngest person to die in Australia after contracting Covid-19, as thegovernment considers fines for people who do not register positive rapid antigen tests through a new app to be released this week.
But health officials concede that number is a significant under-representation. As the NSW government has urged people to avoid queues for PCR tests and opt instead for rapid antigen tests, the positivity rate from the former has continued to increase, up to 24% on Monday. confirmed the government was considering introducing fines for people who do not register the positive tests.and Service NSW that we will have a system in place which allows people to register their positive rapid antigen tests,” he said on Monday.
These politicians have been hiding behind national emergency public health orders for too long now - it’s time they were lifted to allow the public to pursue legal political accountability!
I look forward to living in the AustralianLabor paradise where nobody has to die ever again. auspol
And that poor child is dead today because of the reckless ideology and pigheaded refusal to listen to the science and health advice by ScottMorrisonMP and Domicron ! MorrisonDoesntGiveaRats ScottyFromEugenics LNPDeathCult
His job is supposed to protect vulnerable people rather than blaming people who have underlying condition. His logic does not seem right.
A journalist and editor with all too common ethical failings wrote an article about a child’s death that focused on their disability.
Please fix the headline, there’s 4 unnecessary words in it.
Why are you failing to report that 000s of people never received their PCR results since before Xmas in NSW? Why aren’t you highlighting the appalling decisions & failures of the ausgov? Look at the misinformation & back peddling as the country starts to limp into a disaster.
Ah well, as long as it was a preexisting condition? 🙄
So just a toddler. Stop with the provisos.
rare genetic?! Is this a new term for underlying health condition? Try not to embarrass urself!

So this beautiful child, who had limited precious time, was robbed of that time with their family, due to Government Incompetence.
It's about time, all these pollies and health experts start to differentiate from dying with Covid or from Covid alone - a toddler died, parents will be devastated, so stop using tragedies like that to crap on about Covid
This is why I am so angry at our governments. Children are people and have every right to life afforded to us. Yet in the name of the economy and impatience their lives are needlessly being put at risk because we can't wait for them to have a vaccine available
You would have to think that Perrottet has a rare genetic condition. Something is behind his reckless abandon of public health measures and acceptance that people will have to die because he has decided that implementing sensible controls isn't his style.
I don't know whether grief or anger is uppermost in my mind. What this Govt has done to Australia and its people in all sorts of ways needs to be investigated. This is at the very least negligent manslaughter if there is such a term!
