This is the alternative that has always been worthy of thinking about and as we have seen in Victoria has not been. The vulnerable must be protected and that is the key question. We are not all in this together! Over 60 or overweight etc and you (we) are in this in a big way …shelter from this storm. Fit and under 60 carry on.
A 1,000 fold risk difference must be taken advantage of.
Turn off the Air conditioners. Get out in the open. Wash hands. Isolate if your over 60.

https://gbdeclaration.org/video/ a very important discussion.
A rethink task force for Australia based on this thinking is a sound thought that will be poison for those who are already committed; such as the ABC types.
With this sort of stark division Sky news will soon be in a full on war with the ABC.

The open right is fighting back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpn3JxXqnp4 and this is a correct and clear perspective!
The herd thinking approach explained by Professor Gupta https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlPnHm_s3fY This is essential for understanding of the world wide issues. Obviously this British thinking must be tweaked for Australia; for example Oz has not even gone though a 1st wave epidemic.
It looks like the season will now protect most of OZ till the vaccine is deployed in the early part of the new year. From widespread news reports it’s now more than reasonable to expect an effective vaccine being widely deployed in Australia by ANZAC 2021 day! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RSAfRMrd8w The countdown is 164 days till I expect a jab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1K8ZkA8ukk
And re vitamin D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxtddpoPMKo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdsAVTkSDhM an interesting contribution! There has been almost zero effort on the early treatment front and no notice of the fact that Trump did so well with his battle having previously taken the drug that all the PC mob are anti. Perhaps his body was correctly primed to fightback?
Well what do you know…Scott from marketing had to step in a few days back and get some people to have a rethink! The vaccine is now coming along to a more realistic schedule. So 61 days after my prediction and with 105 more days till my theoretical jab -on ANZAC day- it looks increasingly realistic! I love the clarity of a prediction date!
Still no cases in any Australian ICU!! No surprise.
And of the 40 or so that are in hospitals almost all if not all are there because of regulation only.
If this continues to go smoothly there ought to be some sort of minor bump from the festive season and yet still nothing to worry about past all the social distancing and hand washing etc till the mid February jabbing starts.
This is well worth the (longish) read! https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2021/01/covid-19-a-realistic-approach-to-community-management/
‘The author Robert Clancy is Emeritus Professor of Pathology at the University of Newcastle Medical School. He is a member of the Australian Academy of Science’s COVID-19 Expert Database’
‘Historically, pandemics generate suspicion, speculation and emotion, before logic and empirical decisions determine optimal management. The current COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. Twelve months on, there is an emerging consensus supporting an integration of a four-pillar plan: public health strategies; vaccination; early pre-hospital treatment; and hospital treatment. This position replaces an early confusion, with supporting data appearing on a near daily basis.’
…
‘The area of intense disagreement is community management combining prevention by vaccine and reduction of hospital admission, using pre-hospital treatment. There is a global expectation that vaccines will dramatically change the current face of COVID-19 while there is broad-based denial that any of the available (unpatented) drugs beneficially alter the natural history of infection. Expectation of a vaccine nirvana alongside therapeutic nihilism are both incorrect, although each is promoted with a vigour rooted in socio-political conviction (and supported by the Pharma industry).
The conclusion, based on logic and data, is that vaccines and early treatment strategies are both necessary for optimal disease control. As a result, a community plan has been formulated, aimed at keeping patients out of hospital. Experienced physicians have developed protocols based on evidence, with sequenced multi-drug regimens that support over 80 per cent reductions in admissions to hospital and death. Implementation of this approach would effectively end the US, UK, Canada, and EU hospitalisation crises.
The objective of this brief review is to argue in support of these conclusions, based on an untangling of the pathobiology of COVID-19 over the last 12 months; review of the available data on the three vaccines used in the Western world; and current data supporting significant benefit of pre-hospital drug treatment.’
