The figures don't lie? Viva La Victoria! The end of the disease?

Shock, horror, doom and gloom, scare tactics and fear mongering is all part of the narrative!

But has anyone actually read the statistics and compared them?

Let's look at what the Herald Sun published:




So, let's compare the pair

The figures of the 21st of December 2021

New cases; 1,245, In hospital:392, Active ICU:73, On ventilation:43.

Where the percentage of those:

  • in hospital compared to new cases is: 31.4%,

  • Active ICU compared to new cases: 5.8%,

  • On ventilation compared to new cases: 3.4%


The figures of the 3rd of Jan 2022

New cases; 8,573, In hospital:491, Active ICU:56, On ventilation:24

Where the percentage of those:

  • in hospital compared to new cases is: 5%,

  • Active ICU compared to new cases: 0.6%,

  • On ventilation compared to new cases: 0.2%


So, even though the (alleged) case numbers went up 6.8 times higher, the hospitalisation went down from 31.4% to 5%.

The alleged ICU cases went down from 5.8% to 0.6% or one tenth of that in December.

Also the people allegedly on ventilation (from the disease?) went down from 3.4% to 0.2%.

By rights then, using the same percentage figures from 21 Dec, then should be for:

Hospitalisation: 2692, Active ICU:497 and on ventilation: 291.

but they are not, they're nearly one tenth of all the figures except for those in hospital, where it's not far from one fifth.

So is the media telling you to rejoice?

Is the government telling you that 'we' are winning?

Nope.

Be prepared for more fear mongering!

But are these statistics relative to:
* virus from eating dead bats,
* virus from eating live bats,
* virus escapes from laboratory ?

I'm still suck at the beginning.
