I watch Australia just to see what’s coming to the rest of the world.

How can "stepping up the vaccination in the old and the young" be "the way to stop the surge in infection" when it's well documented that the vaccination neither stops people from catching the virus or spreading it?

I'm truly fed up of all this Covid-19 doom and gloom.

I want some new conspiracy theories!
Mine have all come true

By the looks of things some people still haven’t worked out what the hell is going on, let’s go Brandon

How did they find 43, 738 'cases' *_in a single day_* when most of the testing stations are empty most of the time?

Protect the protected from the unprotected by forcing the unprotected to get the protection which didn't protect the protected.

Imagine being on your 3rd jab this year and getting ready to get locked down again. Flu season can’t come quick enough for them

Sly news are just a broken record at this point.

The people that were vulnerable before the vaccines
Are still vulnerable after the vaccines
Is that how RNA vaccines are supposed to work ?

I just remember the good old days when things were at least i have that memory!!!

Breaking news: More people over the age of 90 die in winter.

100, 000 cases a day with the majority of the country - it begs the question, does the vaccine actually work?

COVID-19: Why are cases rising in the UK? its the end of summer....!

[matthewsmith]

Because it’s autumn going into winter, it’s the season where respiratory viruses mutate and become more rampant

Im so done with this. We have had 18 months of lockdown which has consequently caused a lot of people with mental health issues and vulnerable people suffer, we all missed celebrating 2 lots of birthdays with loved ones, ruined Christmas last year, we have been jabbed so what is the big deal if the cases go up??? The hospitals are not overloaded with admissions. If we have all been jabbed what is the effin problem??? Get on with life as normal….I’m sick of hearing of cases rising?

" covid will not go away, being a news reporter has never been this easy "

Imagine recording everyone that's died WITH or died for any reason within 28 days of a positive test from the common cold/flu! Then putting those figures on the news everyday. There would be a pandemic forever that way

Don't forget to line up for your 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8th jab, that'll get us out of this folks
