Alarming news from Britain: “Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care in hospital after his coronavirus symptoms ‘worsened’.” it seems Johnson may be suffering from what is called a “cytokine storm” that is often associated with a flood of immune cells into the lungs.
Just 108 new cases yesterday. We need an exit strategy, too: “Austria and Denmark… became the first European countries to announce concrete plans to reopen their societies after coronavirus lockdowns… Belgium, France, Spain… are similarly examining how they will loosen some of the restrictions.” Here’s a plan for us, to start very soon.
Tell us the news here.
On The Bolt Report on Sky News at 7pm: Coronavirus crawls to a walk. Did we overreact? Now even a deputy chief medical officer admits the peak may have passed (although he’s not sure) and we may soon prepare to relax restrictions. Now believe me? Meanwhile, which chief medical officer didn’t stay at home but went for a walk in the bush instead?
So when can we discuss an exit strategy from these devastating bans?: “As at 6:00am on 6 April 2020, there have been 5,744 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Australia. There have been 109 new cases since 6:00am yesterday.” That’s just 2 per cent more new cases. Take away recoveries, and Victoria now has 72 fewer sick people than last Wednesday.
Our politicians and medical experts have had a stunning victory in helping flatten the coronavirus curve in Australia. Now our leaders must make sure it doesn’t come at a price we’ll regret, writes Andrew Bolt.
This is troubling: “Britain’s prime minister Boris Johnson has been admitted to hospital for tests, after suffering coronavirus for almost ten days.” Precautionary, they say. But it’s clearly not a mild attack.
What the ABC did to Cardinal George Pell last week was dishonest and shameful. “New accusers”, it falsely claimed, now said Pell had abused them. What suspicious timing. If the High Court tomorrow rules that Pell was wrongly jailed on charges of having raped two boys it will be a devastating indictment of the ABC. But now come these “new” claims.
Who can now deny it? The worst is not happening with the coronavirus and our politicians must tell us their exit strategy. Three weeks ago newspapers declared: “Australia prepares for 50,000 to 150,000 deaths.” Two weeks ago, they shouted: “Australian ICU beds to run out by April 5.” But look: 35 deaths as of this morning and lots of empty beds.
Either way, she’s an idiot – but did she break her rules because she secretly realised they were over-the-top and made little difference?: “Scotland’s chief medical officer, Catherine Calderwood, has resigned her post after coming under intense criticism for breaking her own rules to twice visit her second home during the coronavirus outbreak.”
