LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The chances of dying with Covid or from Covid in NSW over the last 20 months are 128 in 8,200,000 or 1 in 64,062. That’s a lot lower than the annual flu or road death risk.

It should be easy enough to conclude that the govt is deliberately locking up millions of people and spreading fear in the population as it destroys the economy and the lives of millions of people because of some other reason (or agenda) which is not related to the risk of people dying.

If such fear mongering were perpetrated by a foreign government, it would be called state sponsored terrorism. If the incarceration and denial of our basic freedoms and human rights were also perpetrated by a foreign government we would consider it a declaration of war against the Australian people.

So what do we call all that in the case of our own governments?
