Chief Health officer John Gerrard says 'it is quite possible' Queensland would experience a wave 'in the coming weeks' as other states record rising COVID case numbers.

There are 105 people in hospital, which is the same number as last week.Federal government data from November 2 shows just 65.2 per cent of eligible Queenslanders have had a third dose of a vaccine and 44.7 per cent have had four doses.With that in mind, what do we know?These are Omicron subvariants.

The World Health Organisation is closely monitoring them and late last month said XBB had been detected in 35 countries, while BQ.1 had been reported in 65 countries.But the Victorian Health department reported "rapid growth" last week and New South Wales is also reporting a rise.

No

Move the f on like the rest of the world obviously Australia is still behind the 8 ball and the world

Endemic.

Should be concerned about the massive increase in death drs are baffled by.

Is the increased cases in QLD only? Or is it a separate borders free Country 🤔

CHO John Gerrard is a criminal and will be held accountable, last PHD had zero scientific backing and caused unnecessary harms karma wrongsideofhistory

Stop trying to breath life into covid scare mongering...everyone's over it and want to got on with living a full, free, unfettered life.

if you wear a mask in high populated places (such as transport) and get vaccinated once a year (as we all knew it was going to be) then you should be ok. you might still get it but you wont end up in the icu. why people were so complacent i will never understand. was it laziness?

no

Depends. This has become a pandemic of the vaxxed. So 5% will be fine 95% debatable.

I worry more when there’s less information given. Are the current treatments, including antivirals effective against the new strains? How effective are vaccines if your last booster was 6 months ago? Again there is more thorough reporting from other countries. 🤷‍♀️

Nope. They should be worried about rising and constant fear mongering by the ABC, media, politicians and health officials. Dear oh dear...

Simply put. No

Mask up if you haven’t done so already, or get private health insurance with top hospital cover for your upcoming stay in ICU on a ventilator. Your choice, Queenslanders 🦠😷

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just as well they put in the traffic Light System. Fucking Clown Show 🤡🤡

Everyone should be worried about the new variants of Covid. Governments everywhere have pushed the new normal and personal responsibility and the public have become complacent. The fact is a hundred people dying a week is not normal at all .

No, we should just forget about COVID and move on.

I tested positive on Sunday. Anecdotally, I am alarmed at the number of my elderly friends who are testing positive. The new COVID wave has hit Victoria and is wildly infectious. maskup However, federal and state governments will be more than happy to throw more bodies on the funeral pyre!! I'm wondering if the Australian Funeral Directors Association is a major donor to governments? Because they're making a buck out of this! Better start the lockdown then 🙄
