Queensland Health has confirmed further tests show 30-year-old Nathan Turner did not have coronavirus before he died last week.The results decrease Queensland's death total down from seven to sixThey had previously stated the man returned a positive test after his death, which prompted the setup of fever clinics and deployment of contact tracers to the Central Queensland town of Blackwater.
In a statement, Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said the Coroner was yet to determine Mr Turner's cause of death. "On that basis Queensland Health established a rapid public health response, including quarantining and testing close contacts, expanding COVID-19 testing in Blackwater and talking to the community, as it would expect us to do.The cause of Nathan Turner's death is still unknown.
Who Fked up
Geez, we’ve been fed some bullshit during this “crisis”.
Sorry about this man's death but it's indicative of the hysteria screeched out by Palachay (sic) et al. Open up the border so I can visit my sick sister please. Turdface70
Just wondering if QLD health will be apologising to the nurse from Rockhampton that they vilified over this case?
Ok
COVID-19......nothing but a big lie played by the one percent cult that control the world for the NEW WORLD ORDER to take place and like that they’ll have the control on every single thing on this planet.
The worry here is how many negative results are incorrect. Do not trust these figures, they are doctored to suit the big business narrative covid19australia KeepTheLockdown keepthebordersclosed
So was the test one from Twiggy Forrest used? As rumor has it they are duds.
Bye Bye Anastasia
No shit Sherlock!! But yet us intelligent people, who call out the bullshit, saying COVID19 is FAKE, and that people ARE NOT dying from coronavirus , get treated like idiots. ARE YOU GETTING IT YET PEOPLE? Just remember it's OK to say 'NO THANKS' when they try.push a 2nd wave.
This is just disgraceful. It’s an indictment on the media and politicians and should infuriate all Australians. It highlights the basis of this pandemic and the misinformation being driven by media and governments. They should be ashamed of themselves.
One testing mistake, and the idiotic deniers come out in force. The fact is the total death rate dramatically rose in places hard hit by COVID-19. No test is perfect, but the fact is COVID is a terrible pandemic,
How can statements like this be issued without thorough checks been made?
So all the panic and innuendo towards the nurse was baseless, that's really poor form Qld Health.
How can that be. you guys are as useless as NSW health and the ruby princess debacle
Can't wait to hear Jeanette Young's explanation. She was so sure that the positive test was correct and the negative test was wrong. If she was a credible scientist she would have waited for the evidence. Once again it shows she was more interested in driving the hype.
Man i wish i was THAT nurse she just hit the the QLD health jackpot..
And the nurse who was vilified and hounded - what of her?
To be fair to Qld Health, they didn't mess around when they thought it was Covid. They set up testing quickly and organised that community to mitigate the spread. Good practise for dealing with the inevitable cases that should pop up here and there. (A positive take.)
Sooo turns out he didn't have covid and died of other health conditions. Still got to scare young people that covid is dangerous. Job done ABC. Now please ABC do some big boy journalism and look into why covid is being put of people's death certificates when it really shouldn't.
The first article about his death said his wife had also returned a positive test?!!
BillPounder Well there you go. What about the nurse from Rocky and her visit to the town... and is she telling the truth..and let's test everybody!! And we somehow have to accept that they have the border closure thing right. Ask questions ABC.
Whoops
He worked for which mining company?
I never believed for a minute that he died from COVID. What a load of rubbish.
Good news for Blackwater... false positive test?.. Vale Nathan.
Operation fear mongering stumbles.
So back to 102 COVID19Aus deaths. And still ridiculous lockdown and state border closures destroying our economy. Well done ScottMorrisonMP How about showing backbone and pressuring the Premiers to open up. This isn’t a contract dispute. It’s politics. You are made look weak.
More lies!We get lied to once again! This world is f’d can’t trust any1 whatsoever. How many others died from COVID but didn’t have it, or may have had it but didn’t die from it. Biggest rort in history & yet there are still at home shit scared 2 leave their homes or go 2 school.
They said he did! There needs to be an inquiry, it just raises more questions.
So we were all lied to by the health authorities and the government? Again? It needs to be said. This whole thing was absolute crap used to justify horrendous restrictions and tracking of ppl Time to end the charade. We have been played folks.
So the big question is, how many false positives are there and are false negatives a plausibility?
Queensland Health should be hauled over hot coals for this
Ohhh.... but wasn't this the youngest covid death In Australia? Oh poppycock.. I guess that's rather embarrassing
But the news said he did
OMG.
This issue is absolutely out of control and destroying so many lives.
Well that must be embarrassing.🧐
Once again the media races to a conclusion with no proof, scruples or professionalism, creates widespread panic, ruins lives... And rakes in those sweet sweet clickbait $$$
Media beat up yet again
Great work, Qld. Health.
Ok. Everyone calm down!
Is his partner also negative?
