Deadline Timetable exclusive to #1 swellnet
( Part 1 ) Flu vs Covid History & Stats
2009 Rhinovirus delayed the onset of 'Swine Flu'
WHO : Flu infects 1 billion/year > 3-5m severe cases > 650,000 deaths/year...Vax > 40-(70% Seniors)
Covid infects 215 million/year > 500,000 severe cases > 3.5million deaths/year (Vax 70% 1/2 doses)
Flu is more infectious but Covid is more deadly.
Early 2020 the first o/s Covid case was also diagnosed with the Flu.
April - UK Study revealed dual Virus sufferers were 2x likely to die.
May - Study revealed that Dual Virus infected people present Asymptomatic [-] Test results.
Meaning both viruses can cohabit a body by lying dormant...
Importantly!
This was less so the Viral preference but more so each Human's immune system response
Immune system fights None / One / Both ( Each of us mount a different response ) Under investigation.
Longer Dual incubation is more likely to damage the lungs & allow bacteria in, resulting in a horrid death.
Which virus is stronger & most likely to dominate!
Flu has a long history & dominates Covid...(Note: Covid presents more but is less Dominant > Part 2)
Flu triggers your Immune System to prevent or delay Covid onset.
Flu is still by far the best defence at warding off Covid as Flu dominates innate ( Nasal Cavity defence)
However! Flu incubation has a shorter life of 1-5 days.
Covid incubates for 1-2 weeks & therefore uses the Flu to mask early incubation before symptoms.
Again! Depends on each immune system as to whether Flu immunity knocks out Covid or delays it.
Latest science sees a shift of Vax towards this short term innate Nasal spray as a 2 prong defence.
Many argue the Covid infection also equips survivors with similar innate nasal defence...(Vax lacks this!)
eg: Best line of full frontal Defence Order...
Flu Virus > Covid Virus > Flu Vax Nasal Spray > Covid Vax Nasal Spray > Flu Jab > Covid Jab.
Covid Jab protects from within from cells outward & was never designed to prevent infection or Spread.
Covid Jab lowers immunity 2-8x during incubation & can spread viral load up to 95% more by Sneezing.
recap: Covid is way more deadly than Flu so Warp Speed Vax selfishly prevents post infected death.
Viral load reduction or re/ Infection was shelved & Trials ignored...Quote "A job for 2nd Gen Vax."
Rolling Trials ploughed over these vital devastating repercussions.
Ignoring the high Vax reinfection > Vax ramps Covid to now mount a challenge on the seasonal Flu.
As WR Rollout descends by Age Bracket we see the next VOC attack speeds with youthful hunger.
75 years of Antibiotic resistance fast tracked to fit MTV Live Aid Concert Model...{Supermodel sues tbb!}
Each younger Rollout Phase outbreak demands each new Lockdown to be stricter / longer.
Vax Rollout hastens into youthful numbers ramping more wildly infectious Youthful Herd.
Each evermore stricter Longer lasting Lockdowns ramps Covid while starving infectious Flu.
Ok! So no one feels sorry for The Flu...we all get that!
Rollout Lockdown by decling age curbs our more infectious Old school Flu Virus speedy advantage.
Herd Covid Rollout reinfection is prioritised by MSM / Experts / Pollies.
Each Rollout Phase Mutates Covid to (First) better overpower the Flu ( Earth's best Covid defence)
If Rollout / Vax Lockdowns / Restrictions continue then Covid wipes out Flu = 1b cases / year.
That's 4x the Covid we got now for each'n'every year...
Exactly : Experts knew that the Flu Virus was our # 1 Covid defence...so why are Rollouts Killing it?
With the Flu we're dead ducks...Without the Flu bullying Covid we're quite simply gonna die faster.
Ok! tbb thought that was pretty dire so thought to dig deeper & find away around World impasse.
Share a more happy ending...
Deadline Timetable for { Gold Pass } VIPs ( Part 2 )
Deadline Timetable exclusive to #1 swellnet
(Part 2) Post Rollout + Timetable
Covid Vax Rollout comes at the cost of Flu Vaccine Rollout. ( Not uniform as some regions hold up!)
Oz Vax is down 25% but, highest Flu Vaxed NSW / Vic are spreading High Covid.
Reasons could be a slow start > dual Vax Aged Care > Ramping Flu Vax @ Covid Vax Peak.
eg: NSW Premier " Warning! Keep clear of GP / Chemists"
Record number 4-5m Queue Testing > GP (i) > Covid Vax 1 > FX Chem > Flu Vax > Covid Vax 2 > FX
Govt Order : Flu Vax (vs) Covid Vax ? 2 in one Jab Age Care or Wait 1 week / 2 week (Who cares?)
Note: Very few Nations have reliable Flu / Flu Vax / Covid / Covid / Vax Data...(In fact much is corrupted)
Which makes a Timetable almost impossible to research let alone table...(see below)
You don't wanna know how many tables tbb ran to unearth these seasonal patterns...
During slow spots of reduced Vax in Rollouts ...Cases of the Flu moved back in fast...(US noted this!)
Soon as Vax ramped Flu was overtaken by Delta...
Now with UK freedom the Kidz Flu wasted no time running rampant.
Who would waste time on an Oz Flu map pinpointing Cough / Flu symptoms in laziest of Flu years!
Well! Only the smartest person of all Obviously...How so tbb?
Wot was off the charts > Hot Spots Sydney / Melbourne / ACT had 'zero' Flu Hot Spots > WTF?
Least vaxed Regions were pulling in the Flu Hits to the detriment of Covid cases...poor Covid!
Pause!
tbb explained Flu was the dominant virus...but how! Expert Rollouts actually wiped it off the Map! Yep!
This is where the real Data research kicks in...that is Gold Dust!
If Flu is dominant then Flu season hasn't changed it's simply digging in to buy it's time.
Sure! The flu charts look blank empty & flat...
This is because VIP Covid is a tourist & prefers to Holiday at VIP resorts at Festive Season...
But Flu is bossing Covid & refuses to allow Covid to book a room outside of Holidays.
For those that look past trendy Covid they'll note that The Flu is still bossing & refuses to budge.
Wotz up! Flu is running it's Cycle but recouping well enough to overpower Covid
Not reported widely is Flu seems to be less infectious by incubating longer.
No longer 5 days or 2 weeks but Flu flattens out to 4-6 weeks.(tbb / bro had recent bouts of the same)
It only records the once but is more slowly incubating in a Host rather than fast jumping between hosts.
You could say both Viruses have flipped Covid = Fast -days (vs) Flu = Slow-Weeks.(Opposite to day one.)
The longer & flatter the Flu period results in sharper equally fuelled Covid Spike of cases.
We just see a calm flat sea of Flu with Towers of Covid but they are spread to offset one another. (Tricky!)
The fact that each have allocated their seasonal preference then affords virus predictability by region.
Nations hook up by timing their Viral Deadlines....little by little until Flu returns to boss the World.
World Experts are running 6 months behind swellnet time...don't share tbb said any of this. Knock Knock!
If we are to believe Flu is dominant then that works in Human's favour to better predict Covid timelines!
In otherwords... each Nation can now predict their Next Covid outbreak by accurate size & duration.
All thanks to our Old School stubborn Bully Flu Virus...can even pre allocate VIP #1 Mask Free Windows.
Knowing these secrets affords Safe transit windows of World Travel / Free Time / Lockdown Seasons.
tbb has run a few Regional models but also glanced at others... (One problem!)
The models are only as good as Data readouts...only more open / honest nations can adapt Covid table.
Important Warning that anyone censoring Data is condemning a free open World to hidden dangers.
tbb is not getting into Vax Pass argument other than saying it rates low in safety of World Travel.
Not Vax Not Gold Card Not Covid but Flu decides when & where to travel...We can lock it in!

Just saying you may find a tighter line of Days rather than Weeks on first crossover virus time share.
Huge thanx to Covid -19 Health System Overload Forecaster.
Paging short. Paging short.
Conny - your whole article is put into question due to ONE statement in the article .
"Just a few months ago, Israel was the picture of COVID-19 vaccination success…"
Israel and all other countries were not vaxed for Covid 19 .
All the vaccines were developed for the preceding stains !!!!!!
The article proves that the current vaccines have hugely undelivered . People were hoping that they would stop them getting covid ( completely false ) and spreading covid ( to their kids ) .
Now they are being told they will need booster shots for 19 ( and probably all the other new variants )
Luckily you cut and pasted the article ( I know because it was easy to understand ) otherwise it would have been a waste of a lot of your time .
preceding stain
I have stains GF, normally known as skiddy's
yes slugga i believe they are the pro-ceding stains
hehe
"The rising case numbers are in line with projections for the months ahead, with new infections and hospitalisations still about a month away from their expected peak."
So not looking forward to the next couple of months at work...
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-30/victoria-records-new-covid-cases-...
godspeed s.g, i can't even begin to fathom the shitstorm you are about to sail into
Yeah, all the best SG, thanks again and also in advance. This goes to all the health workers.
More CSSC stuff.
Covid deaths are the only ones that matter. This is obvious when confronting the new religion of Wuflu Mortality. It’s a new spiritual movement built on the belief that the only deaths and illness which matter are those resulting from Covid. These deaths are sacrosanct and not to ever be mingled amongst other, less important deaths.
Here’s a record of the excess mortality rates for Australia 2021 year to date. If you look closely you will discover quite a few excess deaths above the average for the first half of the year. No one cares about these deaths because they had nothing to do with Covid as Australia only suffered one Covid death in the first half of the year.
Sure, the deaths might have related to the world beating Covid authoritarianism Australia has imposed, in the form of suicides, ODs, untreated disease etc but this doesn’t matter. Only Covid matters.
All life on Earth must exist around the religious imperative to avoid any death from Covid. Nothing else matters. Not human development, not interpersonal relationships, not love, not happiness, not fulfilment, not freedom to live.
Nothing matters but preventing a single Covid death.
A single Covid death has impact and consequences beyond any amount of other mortality. Only a blasphemer would question whether a world without Covid deaths is a fair swap for everything else of worth in life. Blasphemers must be ostracised from society. Their poisonous thoughts are an affront to the God of Covid.
Again, the deaths isn't the issue.
Check the title of this thread, from 1.5 years ago. Health system overload forecaster, that's the main issue.
In any case it's good to see NSW holding up nicely so far and the vaccines taking a bit of heat off them. Once we're all free to run around in a few weeks they'll be put to the test but hopefully all is good to go and we move on from these tough times.
Also how about chucking a donation into our Lifeline Classic team, need to push it out of the devils numbers ;p And every dollar helps. Thanks.

“We’ve seen a few assertions that pursuing elimination necessarily leads to authoritarianism, isolationism, and agony for the working class.
Um, no“
It is without doubt that the survival rate from covid is high . Probably thanks to the wonderful work our health workers do . If it is 99.5% as Blowin says or 99% does it really matter .
What amazes me is what the US is doing to its health workers regarding mandating a vax . The below comment made me think .
"If this was a REAL health risk, hospitals would NOT be firing people who refuse to vaccinate. Only a moron would fire 46% of the military for not taking a vaccine. That would be the perfect time for war.
This COVID virus has a death ratio of less than 1%. In China right now there is another appearance of H5N6 bird flu, which has a death ratio of 60% more like a plague. It seems to be contained for now. If we were dealing with something of this nature, I would agree with getting a vaccine. But this is not the case."
Oddly enough, it was Nicky Minaj who said it best.
Something along the lines of “ It’s not about public health, if the US honestly have a fuck about public health there would be public healthcare.”
Hard to argue with that statement.

I believe she said it best when she tweeted this.
"My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding."
Fact Check:
" Most people who get COVID-19 will survive. Of roughly 35.2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States, around 614,300 people, or 1.7%, have died, according to Johns Hopkins University’s mortality data as of Aug 6".
https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/why-the-covid-19-survival-rat...
or we could go with the WHO. Australian data
100,912 cases. 1256 deaths. = 1.2%
Fact Check
Luckily for us the Australian authorities on Covid retain enough sense in the matter to not base current infection fatality rates on numbers from early in the situation as due to improvements in treatment they are now completely irrelevant.
2021 Australian case fatality rate is 0.42%. A 99.58% survival rate. Mortality is heavily, heavily skewed towards older( >70 yrs) demographic. Mortality amongst young cohort is extremely rare.
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/covid-19-will-remain-a-fire-foug...
“Last year, roughly one in every 31 patients with COVID-19 died, with 909 deaths from 28,428 cases or a case fatality rate of 3.2 per cent. This year to September 15, about one in every 234 patients died, with 229 deaths from 53,780 cases or a case fatality rate of 0.42 per cent.
That rate of deaths is comparable to the worst influenza season in the past few years. From January 1 to September 16, 2017, about one in every 210 flu patients died. There were 959 deaths from 201,446 confirmed cases of the flu or a case fatality rate of 0.48 per cent over the period. The five-year average fatality rate for the flu from January 1 to September 16, 2015 to 2019 was 0.34 per cent.“
Fact Check:
From the source provided.
Total deaths 1138. Total cases 82,208. = 1.4%
Removing the 2020 data, which was provided in the source quoted, is misleading and likely to discourage vaccination by suggesting the disease is less serious than it is.
Verdict: Misleading.
You do realise the whole plan, all along has broadly been to get as many people vaccinated as possible - which will lower the mortality rate (as borne out by the statistics) and then remove the infection control measures.
As is mentioned in the title of thread and multiple times throughout it, a major concern is the overloading of the health system, which will happen is restrictions are loosened too early. It happened in plenty of places overseas, they've had lots of issues with this in the US.
Have you ever thought about just having a bit of rational thought about the issue, rather than just getting fired up and angry?

The selective exclusion of data sets is vital to the argument blind boy. You will notice this as a consistent pattern.
Gennnnerally staying out of all this, and it's a shite situation in NSW and moreso Vic at present, but I take heart at Chris Billington's projections because these waves will eventually be over (for a period of time)
https://chrisbillington.net/COVID_VIC_2021.html
With Vic, as with NSW before it, the coloured bit of the chart you want to watch is that blue bit, the Reff, once it starts heading downward things will improve, even if the numbers will look terrible for a while.
https://chrisbillington.net/COVID_NSW.html
NSW looking pretty good tbh, they were right as much as I dislike their decision. Typical of Melbourne-Sydney rivalry, Melbourne is about to try to one-up their arch rivals once more. If only it wasn't such a dubious prize.

Facts matter bloke.
blowin , the 2021 figure you quote , were till when...July/August or September with about 10 people now dying a day and very few in the fist 1/2 of the year your figure now would be more, so for 2020-21 the actual figure is 1.2%
the reason we had such a low figure in the first 6 mths , was there was not the Delta variant , now as we have all seen , what worked for stopping and slowing Covid last year and for the first 6 mths of this year ...does not work anywhere near as well with the Delta variant .
We are about to see how in the next few weeks to mths , the strain on the health workers and system...so far looking pretty wobbly but we have just started.....
What I don't understand is why all the anti-vaxxers are so aggro about their opinions?. I mean attacking health care workers should be an automatic jail sentence .......FFS if you don't want to get vaccinated fine....but you are making a choice which is the freedom demanded from the AV's....but as the majority rules...and 90% of Australians are getting vaccinated , it seems to me that rules and regulations have been introduced for the good of all...
brutus my daughter is in charge of triage at a major Sydney hospital and has been over worked and stressed for some time now with worse to come. The vast majority of the serious cases which cause the increased workload and stress are unvaccinated. It is one thing to place yourself at risk but entirely another to cause the burden that our paramedics, nurses and doctors are carrying. Selfish isn't even in the ballpark.
“Removing the 2020 data, which was provided in the source quoted, is misleading and likely to discourage vaccination by suggesting the disease is less serious than it is.”
Lol
Forgive me if I prefer to base decisions on my own opinions as opposed to that of a retired schoolteacher. You’re not on Twitter bloke.
Hey BB, Send on my thanks to your daughter. You should be proud of her. I'd love to see Australia Day replaced with a new public holiday on Jan 27 that celebrates emergency service workers and volunteers.
Wow supafreak, that's next level stupidity even for you.
Yep, send thanks from here too BB. That's a very pressured situation, respect. They are legends and have saved me on occasion.

Brutus, the figure is from a week or so ago and it’s a percentage. Percentages don’t vary on the volume of the figures being assessed. I know you really, really want me to say that I’m wrong and that in 2021 the case fatality rate in Australia is somewhere north of 80%, but that’s not true mate.
The case fatality rate in Australia for 2021 is 0.42%.
The only reason it was so high last year was because Dictator Dan injected the virus directly into the aged care where the people are most vulnerable. If Dictator Dan had seeded the virus into a primary school the case fatality rate for 2020 would have been around 0.0001%.
Facts.
I will pass those thanks on. Normal times are stressful enough some of the stories are hair raising.
Agree, Blindboy. Your daughter is in an admirable line of work. Still doesn’t mean that Covid is anywhere near as universally devastating as the media would have us believe.

But yeh I'll go back to ignoring your sad and pathetic bullshit. There are plenty of others who have your measure..
I'm also hearing stories of people severely immunocompromised getting infected and being alright (of course, anecdotal, not completely representative) - and of successful use of monoclonal inhibitors in cytokine storm conditions, with a nod to UK learning last year.
Otherwise, workers I know are on edge. Riots in the city, huge police presence and earthquakes haven't helped.

"The case fatality rate in Australia for 2021 is 0.42%."
Oh FFS blowin you are a genuine idiot.
Brutus explained to you very clearly why that figure is wrong. It was taken pre Delta and before this last big wave.
That figure that you cherry picked was taken mid year at the absolute best of times. Since things went pear shaped, it's out of date you absolute moron.

Here's the thing blowin. Blindboy has way more scientific training than you do, and his opinions on covid and vaccinations are consistent with the vast majority of experts. You on the other hand, have zero scientific training and keep pushing BS opinions from fringe nutters.
I know who I'd rather believe.

VJ- 99.58% of all people live through Covid. That’s not just 99.58% of healthy people. I think the survival rate for Octogenarians is around 75%. That means that around 8 out of 10 super old, frail and vulnerable people survive.
Covid can be fatal. But it’s not as big a killer as diabetes or heart disease. It’s not even in the same conversation. You’ll be OK mate.

Here’s the thing, Vic Local, those nurses holding up signs saying they don’t want to be forced into vaccination have way more scientific training than you. You have zero scientific training. I know who I’d sooner believe.
Apart from that, there is only one set of facts and they aren’t open to debate. The case fatality rate for Covid in Australia in 2021 is 0.42%. It doesn’t matter if Blindboy knows the contents of the year 8 science curriculum back to front, the facts don’t change.
Note that the data Blowin is relying on for his position is from the Doherty Institute, who have been providing modelling for the government. A reliable source no doubt, although he's taken it out of context.
But more noteworthy is he's chosen to cite it, but seemingly disagrees with their conclusions - some fairly precise cherry picker work.
There is light at the end of the tunnel – once we achieve 70%-80% vaccination we will see less transmission of COVID-19 and fewer people with severe illness, and therefore fewer hospitalisations and deaths. COVID-19 won’t go away but it will be easier to control in the future.
— Doherty Institute (@TheDohertyInst) August 23, 2021
https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/national/2021/09/18/doherty-institute-mo...
"...Australia should maintain “medium” restrictions, such as stay-at-home orders, and ban travel during concerning outbreaks even after reaching 70 per cent full vaccination, according to the Doherty Institute’s analysis of its own modelling...."
Now I'm not 100% across the current plans from the govt. regards loosening restrictions, but I believe they are generally in line with the recommendations from the Doherty Institute.
The question is why does Blowin feel he can cite their data, but reject their conclusion?
I could have a go at answering that one, but I think I'll leave it this time.

False equivalence, you can't catch diabetes or heart disease. For the majority of cases, those health issues are the result of personal decisions.
Because the data isn’t subjective.

No, but I’m sure that VJ has had his share of diabetes inducing white bread in his time. My point is that there is a infinite ways to die and Covid is just one way. Not even the most common or likely way to die even if a person takes every avoidable step in life.
It’s called perspective bloke. You should get some for yourself.
You’ll be OK, VJ. Stay healthy as possible and get vaccinated.
I've created a spreadsheet forecast which I'll update as we go..
