Donkeyman! 🤔🤔🤔
At the end of the day it doesn't matter if you are a covid denier, because that's not important to people who are trying to rebuild their life when this illness has ruined their health or still mourning loved ones who have been taken by it.
If you feel the way you do no amount of figures confirming that it's really happening will convince you so it's a waste of time discussing with you.
BTW I'm still struggling to see the connection you've made to HIV/AIDs.

Not a connection Annie, a comparison ?
In that deathwise, aids was far more deadly than covid? In fact it was
a death sentence if you contracted it !! But there was not the
hooha ?we see now with covid? Although the mortality rate was
far higher and those dying tended to be younger ?
May be because it took much longer to die with aids? I don't know,
But the fuss we see now with covid seems over done imo, perhaps
I should say more, out of proportion to its effects when compared
to aids??
Maybe my veiw is skewed asl was living in Africa during aids and l
could see the growth of informal graveyards everywhere due to
the the drugs price being too high for the average person
to afford, the biggest contributor to controlling aids turned out to
the provision of free condoms and behaviour change??
I suppose living in a western country you were more sheltered from
the the real effects of aids and so have no experience to compare
the the two illnesses??

I also believe that covid is no more infectious than any other airborne virus. Chances are, if you breathe it in you are infected, the idea that you can catch it from surfaces is nonsense. First the surface has to be infected by a covid carrier, second, you have to somehow get it up your nose...
Because Australia have had fewer cases than the UK, and have a very efficient track and trace system, every case in Aus can be traced back to a contact with an infected person......Never a pallet or package.....

There are no figures describing the amount of infections of other viruses, only the amount of deaths. So how do we know that the infection rates were just as high in previous years with other viruses. I can produce figures to suggest that our local hospital was just as busy in previous years, although not so many passed away.I also believe that covid is no more infectious than any other airborne virus.
