BLM rally the 'worst thing' for limiting the spread of COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaThe large crowds which are threatening to turn up to the Tuesday Black Lives Matter rally would be the “worst thing” in terms of COVID-19 control, greatly increasing the chances of an outbreak according to Sky News host Rowan Dean.\n\nMore than 1000 Black Lives Matter protesters planning to demonstrate in Sydney next week are being urged to pause their ‘democratic right’ to assemble until Australia solves the COVID-19 crisis.\n\nMr Dean spoke of an article published in the Lancet which concluded the combination of simple measures such as social distancing, hygiene measures and border shutdowns are more effective in limiting the spread of COVID-19 than hardline lockdown procedures. \n\nIf you are going to prevent crowds, to maintain social distancing measures, you’ve got to prevent all crowds, he said.\n\nHe told Sky News host Peta Credlin the rally “mustn’t be allowed”.\n\nImage: AP Is that the same Rowan Dean that first called it a hoax, and then said it was just a flu? That genius? 😂🤣 Block all entries, advise the public if you attempt to come then you will be pepper sprayed and beaten for putting other lives at risk...zero tolerance..all lives matter.... It is a hoax........ why do you think most of the tracing always leads to elderly homes, to enable a death count..... If masks are so good and a necessity, why haven’t they saved the apparent deaths and cases of health workers around the world......

'Absolutely no doubt' there will be more COVID-19 deaths | Sky News AustraliaThere is absolutely no doubt there will be rises in COVID-19 mortalities in Australia, according to Liberal MP Dr Katie Allen.\n\n“There is, what we call lag and lead,” Dr Allen told Sky News.\n\n“The lead is the case number and the lag is unfortunately the fatality rate.\n\n“Every single death is a tragedy, but when we look at our response, we shouldn’t be using the number of deaths rising as whether it is working or not.\n\n“The most important thing is our intensive care units and health care workers now have very good ways of dealing with COVID-19 when they get to intensive care.\n\n“At the start people were dying around 75 per cent of cases, it’s down to 15 per cent now.\n\n“Even though it is incredibly deadly and very worrisome, the mortality rates have gotten low here in Australia.”\n\nAustralia's coronavirus death toll currently sits at 128.\n\nImage: Getty\n KatieAllenMP And nobody can do anything about it. Just like influenza, flu or any other illnesses. And more people committed suicide because of this virus than died from virus. KatieAllenMP Still very small numbers compared to 2019 Influenza...and there was a vaccine for that one. KatieAllenMP Because hes a blackmailed lying cnnt
