NSW Health has confirmed two new coronavirus deaths in NSW, taking Australia's total number of fatalities to 74.

With events shut down across the state, Premier Gladys Berejiklian said this year's NSW commemoration of Anzac Day on Saturday would be live streamed from Hyde Park instead."But I think more than ever all of us will come to contemplate and appreciate what our Anzacs did in 195 and what Anzac Day represents."

Acting President of RSL NSW Ray James said with traditional marches and two-up off the cards, people should find their own ways to pay their respects. "It's somewhat difficult, especially in the older age group, not being able to leave our home," he said. "So I encourage all people who know a veteran, who can't be socialising as normal, to give them a phone call and make sure they're OK."

Just like a chess game isn’t it lol. Oh dear.

No-one has stopped to think about how many suicides will happen because of this lockdown, how many people are going to be in agony because they can't get 'quality of life' operations such as hip replacements, they even run the risk of falling and dying, alone. endthelockdownnow

More sensational headlines to keep you in fear. Should read 2 old people died in nursing homes which happens every day. We will use this to boost the hysteria! FFS when are people going to wake up to this scam and start thinking for themselves!

Wandering why you don't promote some hope in society? This headline could have said 'Lowest number of new infections since....March 10'. FFS get off the fear phase and spell out the facts. Btw not diminishing the loss of anyone's life.

Deaths.

What? Thought Australia is lifting or opening up slowly but why?

Lot of these are very elderly people in aged care homes, people tell us they are natural causes but ABC dramatize hoping to hurt the Govt. And have nothing to do with coronavirus ABC must be defunded
