He couldn’t comfort her because he’d been handcuffed. Meanwhile in Sydney’s western suburbs on Monday, a confused little girl sat in her father’s lap after he was arrested for not wearing a mask in a Covid hotspot.

This includes compulsory masking even when outdoors, despite zero evidence of their utility in stopping transmission through casual interactions when outdoors. On Tuesday he announced a further two-week extension of the lockdown. Barr is adamant that a run of zero cases in the community would be essential to any easing of restrictions. Chief Minster Andrew Barr believes ‘lockdown measures are effective in reducing the spread of the virus but it is concerning that we are still getting cases infectious in the community’.

These are among the categories we would predict to be worst hit by the known effects of lockdowns that degrade the capacity of the health system to treat illnesses in a timely manner.

That’s 3,371% more all-cause excess deaths in the first five months than the total Covid-related deaths in eight months. In comparison, 3,475 (6.3%) more people died until the end of May this year from all causes than the five-year average. To the end of August, 97 people died with Covid in 2021.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics’ monthly update on mortality has the eye-catching statistic that in every single week from 1 November 2020 to, more Australians died than the average in the 2015–19 five-year period (Figure 1).
