‘Hysterical’: Wild Covid prediction lashed

The modelling assumes “boosters alone will not be fast enough to halt the spread” of the Omicron variant, and forecasts up to 4000 hospitalisations per day.Prime Minister Scott Morrison has dismissed“The chief medical officer and I just want to assure people that those sorts of numbers are not what we expect,” Mr Morrison said.

“None of these five assumptions represent the likely state of events, let alone all of them together, therefore presenting that scenario as the likely scenario that will occur is highly misleading,” he said. “The point it makes is that while we shouldn’t be getting so hung up on the worst case scenario, the best case scenario won’t be us being able to live carefree lives,” he said.

“The real issue is not the case numbers but the hospitalisation numbers,” said Prof Collignon, who also works as a Professor of Microbiology at Australian National University. Prof Thompson has a slightly different view. While he said hospitals may be able to handle the higher influx of patients, he also warned that could be at the cost of cancelling elective surgeries, which could include operations like cardiac surgery or elective cancer surgery.

Obviously different experts 😎

Omicron is 70 times more infectious than Delta. Ironically mass infected Omicron hospital staff going into qurantine halts the health system NOT cases or even ICU nos. If 20% of hospital staff are affected, that under resourced hospital basically collapses.

Haven't read it, but 200k cases, how many deaths?

Hmmm, time to hibernate

Another shithouse 'journo' recycling the same shit to keep the fear going

What the expert actually said was “The point it makes is that while we shouldn’t be getting so hung up on the worst case scenario, the best case scenario won’t be us being able to live carefree lives. None of the modelling is saying that all the cases are going to get down.”

It's a less dangerous varient. We know it spreads more easily, but if your vaxed, which 92% are in Vic, you won't get hospitalised. Why the scare and fear here? I mean honestly. Get vaxed they said, the only way out of this pandamic. 🤣 the same doomsday modelling that's been WRONG for two years ! - stop.the scaremongering and deal in facts. new variant 60% weaker than delta. get vaxxed and booster shots and keep open and living. May as well say that we all have it, as we’re being treated like we do. Greatest farce ever since religion.
