The Doherty Institute has leaked its modelling suggesting Australia would hit 200 000 cases per day by the end of Jan (5 weeks away) and 4000 per day hospitalized unless it reverted to its pet draconian restrictions.

This despite the mysterious lack of studies done on the seriousness of Omicron. Over a month ago we were told there wasn't enough data to decide whether Omicron was milder that previous strains. Amazingly, we're still hearing that same line. It's simply not plausible that there could still be no information.

Getting the BS decipherer out again, you have to deduce that there is info which shows Omicron is milder - but we can't say that coz it might cause Booster-hesitancy. So instead of giving you the hard-facts, we'll leak this silly modelling to scare everyone into believing they still need us to enforce the bio-state.

The PM Scott Morrison is taking a surprisingly sensible approach - similar to the Taiwan model whereby you encourage people to adopt certain behaviours rather than forcing them to do it. Masks for example -instead of issuing edicts where it's masks on or masks off, develop a mentality where people can take personal responsibility. But somehow that's anathema to the health experts coz they are hooked on the rush of totalitarian control.

The hardest thing now is shaking off these power-addicts and getting them out of our lives.
