Actuaries Institute’s COVID-19 Mortality Working Group has been updated with complete data from 2022 from the ABS.
"We estimate that there were just over 20,000 (12%) more deaths in Australia in 2022 than we would have expected if there had been no pandemic. Excess mortality is widely regarded as the best measure of the overall impact of a pandemic since it includes deaths both directly and indirectly due to the disease."
[...]
"The death certificates of about one-third of excess deaths in 2022 had no mention of COVID-19. These non-COVID-19 deaths represent excess mortality of 4%, which is extraordinarily high in itself, as can be seen in Figure 1. Non-COVID-19 excess deaths are particularly apparent in those aged over 75 for both genders and those aged under 65 for females only. We consider that the most likely reasons for these excess deaths are:
The impact of COVID-19 on subsequent mortality risk, particularly heart disease, stroke, diabetes and dementia, which have all been identified in studies;
Delays in emergency care, particularly at times of high prevalence of COVID-19 and/or influenza; and
Delays in routine care, which refers to missed opportunities to diagnose or treat non-COVID-19 diseases and the likelihood of consequent higher mortality from those conditions in future. We understand that disrupted prescription of medications may be particularly likely to be a major risk factor for those with chronic heart disease."
COVID-19 Mortality Working Group: Confirmation of 20,000 excess deaths for 2022 in Australia - Actuaries Digital
Catch up on the Actuaries Institute’s COVID-19 Mortality Working Group’s latest analysis of excess deaths. In summary: Total excess mortality for the full year 2022 is 12% (+20,200 deaths) i.e. there were over 20,000 more deaths in 2022 than would have been expected if the pandemic had not happened. This is slightly more than we […]
incredible whiplash from the sydney morning herald - two items back to back in the CBD column

Obama continues to keep himself #davossafe in 2023, and requires a negative PCR to get within feet of him. Hmm, must be some weird quirk but fair enough.
Unrelatedly, check out these lunatics that want clean air everywhere! They aren't celebrities or anything!? And look, some of them are surely some kind of hypocrite who want people to wear a mask when it's not safe, but feel fine taking a mask off if they know it's safe to do so. Literally the next fucking item in the piece lol.
Banger short thread from @courtneymilan - https://twitter.com/courtneymilan/status/1634752603979669504
What strikes me the most these days is the strident denialism of it all - very familiar from climate and war crime denial - where the event is both fictitious -and- real and good. It does nobody any harm and it's just a cold, and it's only loads of old and disabled people dying, so who cares. Impossible to square the two things together, but at the core of it the logic is clear: nobody -who matters to them- is harmed, and anyone who did die or got disabled now definitionally isn't someone they think was ever worth caring about.
incredible story on the prospect

basically seems as though there's no government response of any kind and the people responsible for the disaster are being left alone to bullshit and monster the residents

as well as well documented denial of airborne spread, the shifting of isolation to 5 days at the behest of business (particularly Delta airlines) is another example of the science of transmission being completely unambiguous and crystal clear, but no match for people not liking the implications of that much. And if you insist that you're correct, now the problem is your tone.
just went to check when my induction burner arrives and noticed something I must have skipped on the ebay page
