Saw this on a Youtube video from a doctor in the US today, your own personal COVID risk calculator!

Ah this lockdown for the social housing towers is pretty awful. I feel bad for everyone involved. 500 police per shift, police on every floor, every staircase entrance. You can't leave for five days straight. These are our most vulnerable who need a lot of support and are now being locked in for no fuck up of theirs. Hope it all goes well but there will be conflict.
And now Andrews has put nine housing commission towers containing 3000 people under a lockdown level unknown outside of communist China. (Tim Blair)
Surely Australians must object to this draconian lockdown. A far better alternative would be to isolate those who have the virus.
Edit: I should have said "send to hospital" not "isolate", which sounds just as oppressive as Andrews' policy.
I really have sent some confusing messages! I'll try again.Wait a second....
People who test positive for COVID-19 shouldn’t isolate, and they should all be sent to hospital?
New research suggests the virus has mutated & may now be three- to six times as infectious now as six months ago without necessarily being more lethal. Makes sense given positive test results % in the US has pretty much doubled (& in some States tripled or even quadrupled) in recent weeks but fatalities have either plateaued somewhat or only slightly increased in percentage terms. I note that Fauci says he thinks "...the data is showing that there is a single mutation that actually makes the virus be able to replicate better...."

137,400 dead in America, hurtling towards 140k and not a word of sense on the subject from the orange idiot, other than a request from the tooth fairy for it to "just disappear". Tragic.
