The astonishing Covid-19 stats that EVERY Australian needs to see – and the data proves we DON’T need more rules – as a busy city centre hospital’s ICU ward sits almost EMPTY of Omicron patients
- Median age of Covid deaths is 83, same as Australia’s average life expectancy
- Most cases are among under 50s but only 1 in 10,000 of them died from Covid
- Even 95 per cent of elderly frail residents in aged care units survived infection
- St Vincent’s Hospital ICU ward currently only has a couple of Covid patients
- NSW Premier Dom Perrottet admitted on Monday that flu was worse than Covid
The median age of those dying from Covid in Australia is now 83 years old – the same age as the nation’s average life expectancy.
The federal health department’s latest Covid report exposes as myths the claims being used to drive Australian authorities to re-introduce mask mandates and continue having Covid cases isolate for seven days.
