The US govt last week updated the survival rates (i.e., IF infected) for Covid19:
0-19 99.997%
20-49 99.98%
50-69 99.5%
70+ 94.6%
Didn't see it reported much.

- If the 95-year old Queen survives Covid (🙏) can we stop force masking kids for 7 hours a day?
- How does a sane person look at this and conclude mask mandates matter? city-journal.org/the-failed-cov…
- Brace yourself but even if masks were effective at stopping Covid I'd rather risk contracting it every year or so than wear a mask every day. Anyone else of this view?
- "My mask protects you, your mask protects me". The most embarrassing, unscientific slogan of the pandemic?
- Waiting for the left to heap praise on a strong successful woman, Italy's first female PM ... 🦗🦗Grazie Roma!
00:00 - Well this is embarrassing for Team Lockdown. Whoops. Soz everyone. news.com.au/world/coronavi… via @newscomauHQ
- Omicron, wildly infectious and mild, was a perfect opportunity, 22 months in, to dump all the costly "measures" that by now obviously don't "slow the spread" (masks, contact tracing, density limits, vaccine passports/mandates, iso rules) without losing face.
- Excess deaths in Australia ‘incredibly high’ at 13%: Actuaries Institute. "It's an incredibly high number for mortality” and it's “not clear what's the cause". “Mortality doesn’t normally vary by more than 1 to 2 per cent". news.com.au/lifestyle/heal…
- "A year on the evidence is overwhelming that Sweden got the pandemic mostly right. Sweden’s overall mortality rate in 2020 was lower than most of Europe and its economy suffered far less. And today Sweden is freer and healthier than any other country"
- That the new Covid booster was tested only on mice really should be a bigger story.
- "Australia is experiencing nearly all its deaths after endless boosters" Interesting data.
- "The taxi driver who transported the couple after attending an event on Tuesday told The Washington Post in an interview that he would not call the incident a chase, adding that he felt safe during the ride."
- Why Does No One Ever Talk About Sweden Anymore? 🤔 I wonder why: 18 months of relative normalcy.
