  1. It would be extremely harmful for the student if a teacher dies on them when they at school.

  2. The problem with the US in a general sense is ineffective government, regardless of taxes. The public healthcare bill for the non universal US system is well in excess of the Australian universal healthcare system. Life expectancy is probably around 5 years longer in Australia so it's not like we get a substandard service in general terms. If you look at the last year obviously the public healthcare system in the US totally failed because "business" was considered more important than life and got neither only a giant deficit and lots of dead people compared to WHO Western Pacific region countries . PAHO Pan American Health Organization countries failed in general and headquartered in Washington DC. I think the US was most influential in the PAHO regional response to covid 19. I have waffled on a bit just making the point taxing and spending is irrelevant if the government is disfunctional in spending that money.

  3.  @chrisstewart9191  are you suggesting that people are being declared dead in the US however they are still alive to bring the life expectancy number down? That's a pretty bizarre claim. The US has higher suicide, homicide, road fatality rates and whatever you want to call it those people dying with covid, so naturally the US life expectancy is lower, it's really simple maths, basically just count the dead people and find out how old they were.

  4. Sounds to me the "modification" , is putting parts of the human genome inside the pigs genome. Like they are doing for lab mice. It'll be interesting to see when it's highly advanced , given the speed of technology that might only be 50 years away, because you might be able to produce a half human and chimpanzee, at what percentage will it become an ethics issue.

  5. Wait for the UQ/CSL vaccine which the Australian catholic church has said is preferred however they aren't against use of those other vaccines if it saves life. Australia's rare condition of being virtually virus free means waiting is ok. Our timeline is March it's expected we start to vaccinate. The vaccine I speak of , if things looking ok go into phase 3 very soon so a while off and no guarantees.

  6. If you mean we human beings, yep you are right, countries that are more powerful take advantage of less powerful ones. This is normal up until very recently when this doctrine is being questioned in Western countries in particular. Slavery is not acceptable any more in Western country , however this is not the case in many other countries.

  7. How is he in a hurry? Do you want him to go and play golf which is a US presidential tradition.

  8. The Trump cards thing is good news, it's just funny. Most news about Trump is criminality.

  9. It's unusual, it's never happened in any other Western Democracy in recent years at least that a leader states that his country has run a corrupt election. A recount changes nothing because numbers can't be out that much. If he believed that elections were corrupt why did he do nothing about changing the situation in 3 years. Of course some individuals from both parties will commit voter fraud as will always happen with 150,000,000 votes.

  10. The majority of cases are Europe plus Russia and the Americas. Other areas are less affected due to trying their best , some of the poorer more densely populated countries like Indonesia , India and South Africa are still doing better than the US despite the fact that the job is 10 times harder for them.

  11. Prevention is better than cure, the US has to look at it's underlying issues, chemotherapy kills the patient but a bit more slowly than the cancer. Using authoritarian tactics is chemotherapy.

  12. He contradicted himself he said that it's a propaganda agency that must follow the government line. In Australia our public broadcaster ABC Australia often has things our government doesn't like regardless of which party is in power. Authoritarianism is when the government turns a broadcaster even if it funds it into a propaganda agency for itself.

  14. I tend to agree, if he was in France or Italy where his heritage is from it is literally normal. It's possible that the accusers could have just told him directly and that would be that and he would have changed his behaviour but they were scared to.

  15. At your age unless you have some major health issue are at very low risk especially if had a vaccine even if it was a while ago.

  16. Same , same , the virus will magically disappear. So I think he is multitasking quite well , even dealing with the postal service as well.

  17. If this mob was around before there'd still be polio and stuff around. They've just decided to not trust these vaccines despite them being the most tested in history with billions of doses worldwide and many different vaccine types.

  18. I am Australian and it's looking right now like China - Australia travel will open up well before US - Australia travel.

  19. Technically it does, keep telling people they are pretty much on their own and have lockdowns when hospitals overflow, reopen fully when hospital capacity comes back wait for hospitals to fill again, keep repeating cycle until vaccines hopefully do the job.

  20. The US is the leader , that's why.

  21.  @geriatricmotorcars9516  not sure which direction your comment is however I am sure that the NHS did their best to save him but unfortunately he died but at a pretty ripe old age. In the other direction don't underestimate the moral boost of the NHS workers who were and still are going through a hard time.

  23. I am sure they did with their congregations , they aren't Trump or Biden and can just call the station to do an interview.

  24. You are aware the US destroyed the Philippines economically after independence with a corrupt Philippines president getting some sugar concessions. There was a one way free trade deal everything imported into Philippines tax free and almost everything exported to US taxed. Although this situation did finish some time ago , how do you feel about US people white and black who have gained from you?

  25. LOL , sorry Americans and now Iraelis . You are the entertainment for the world now lol. Wonder what's next, is my Prime Minister in Australia going to outed as an Alien.

  26.  @rushlimbaugh4641  If I was American I would be more annoyed at Israel getting so many doses because they are sort of a welfare state of the US with the amount of aid that they have received over the years but look at their vaccinated percentage and all Moderna and Pfizer I think. With Pfizer though because it's a collaboration with the vaccine developer being German it might be the case they have to follow certain rules of their partner and also with Covax it's a pretty big sales deal which even if they make only a low margin it's still big money and have to contribute something even in the early stages , not just selling to rich countries.

  27. To be fair he wasn't pointing the gun at her. He pointed it below her and ready. I don't see anything wrong. In the end she complied with directions and everything fine. It's unfortunate in the US this is normal. Most countries like Australia police rarely take their gun out.

  28. If those families drink alcohol you can ignore all those precautions they just spoke of which will disappear in 1 hour. This'll be one super duper spreading event given the current infection rates. Then there will be the person who speaks to the media pointing out a couple of dead family members just in time to do it all again for Christmas. 2 out of 5 coincidentally is about the ratio of Republican supporters, I wonder how much these groups correlate.

  29. Make sure the bit is sterilized before they start chomping on it.

  30. If there was brown stuff that reacted to magnets which I highly doubt, the vaccines aren't made in the same facilities as moonshine, it would be rust aka iron oxide and completely harmless I would think, that red color in your blood is iron.

  31. It's doses not vaccinations so might be 40,000,000 vaccinated and another 30,000,000 at one dose. I would expect the 100,000,000 doses will be surpassed if no serious issues.

  32. Tax the poor so the corporate tax rate can go to 15%. Good luck low income Americans.

  33. It's true they didn't have a clue what was about to happen. Biden can't really be blamed for that, he doesn't run intelligence.

  34. Where have all the my body my choice people disappeared to. This is exactly that , it's his body and he refuses the treatment. Other thing I just realized watching it again, others saying I have a religious objection which actually no major religion has to have a covid 19 vaccine , however I will be drugged up received hundreds of other injections and survive on a drip for a while not having a clue what's going into and take the tissue of my dead neighbor and that's all a part of my religion. This might sound tough but seems your religion is covidiot because it's only 1 injection you have an absolute objection to.

  36. 1st part of your comment yes but second part no everyone wants them gone and they will go but when governments consider it the appropriate time.

  37. US gun laws have no teeth. Anyone of reasonable means can travel to a state with relaxed gun laws and purchase a semiautomatic weapon and bring to any other state. It's sort of like having voluntary compliance.

  38. I think he will actually, what makes you think he won't?

  39. "make sure he doesn't" is a threat of violence, is that what you really think?

  40. They can never come back as before because of computerization and robots but a large part of the reason to do things in China is because they have the biggest best modern factories , not just wages so some could come back if a lot of investment is made in new modern factories.

  41. Tucker is the King of mainstream media, he's on the most popular mainstream channel Fox News and Tucker Carlson is number 1 on Fox so the most popular media person in your country. Fox is the epitome of mainstream media, the biggest and most popular is what mainstream means.

  42. It will produce some personal immunity but it's looking very much like Covid 19 will keep mutating and infecting like the flu does. So you might catch another variant later on but not be too sick. For young people who are vaccinated on average it's probably good if they catch it but if they live with older unvaccinated people then not so good.

  43.  @Nic1Moreno  actually it's a bit like playing Russian Roulette with several players, once one of them blows their head off everyone else is immune because the revolver only had one bullet in it. Most people will gain immunity through natural infection but unfortunately many die in the process.

  44.  @Nic1Moreno  Yes I agree that having both seems to be better, being infected can in many ways been seen as a vaccine dose equivalent.

  45.  @horrhiunioj507  If you have the answer of how he can get people to take the vaccines, I am all ears. You are accusing Joe Biden of being a criminal because he has no idea how to get those people vaccinated, send a letter to him telling how to do it.

  47. Well if you listened closely to that governor, it's to give handouts or subsidies, ie incentives. The Venezuelan model.

  48. Man, I wish I had 15 minutes of fame just for getting an injection. Quite funny actually, "this is exciting".

  49.  @Nuro1992  The US had a similar time frame to get it's act together. The US didn't have 100,000 cases at the end of February, which would probably be an underestimate of what China had when the lockdown of Wuhan actually occured. So a silly argument all in all. Other countries in the West Pacific region all have done better than the US , including Indonesia and Philippines so far where they have many challenges that the US doesn't have.

  50. I don't think you are correct , if however you are it's being stoked by 2 people, Lijian Zhao a high Chinese government official who likes to tweet conspiracy theories and Donald Trump who loves to do the same. I am from Australia and the anti China sentiment has increased dramatically but this doesn't necessarily anti East or South East Asian sentiment, because I don't think you were referring to South Asian people. The reasons for the increase is deteriorating relations between the two countries, while China is mostly responsible for this Australia hasn't handled things as well as it could in some cases, but nothing like the behaviour of the above noted individuals.
