Some answers to questions would help - in the constant flood of new fixes
I have tried as a reasonable risk management expert to stay out of the incredible noisemaking and wild speculation by the born to worry warrior merchants over the last 18 months .I am not an antivaxxer but we need more clarity about the risks and where we are going with the latest "solutions ".
For 18months I have written to the so called experts each week in the hope of answers which would hopefully help me to support them . My questions were pretty basic questions ( see below) but like many statements that arise from the closeted boardroom of Victoria Ave they are not only not satisfying, the answers are incomplete: Romans 13 suggest public servants don't stop work until the questions are answered--esp when trying to keep order in a crisis.I think due diligence and honesty on this would help calm the continuing panic and more importantly the mood of no cooperation.
.
Why no clear answers to some questions like Cost benefit and risk management ones ? Its also , as many of our leaders dont want to admit they don't know but that many wannabes do , just want to produce a statement a day .
Its possible that they in the city haven't got enough practical microbiologists to know what a real world biome looks like?? Do we get honest - "don't knows"?
They even ,against my advice , see other posts , use the precautionary principle and allow all sorts of unqualified staff to do the same,( Its a professional tool to be used only by the best --not a blanket do nothing tool) The PC clause justifies closure without reason, when reason would be expected to help with compliance .
To use just one example . the recent idea of a bubble is shakier in concept than it ever was-- if its supposed to work .
Single people and the aged are ones most at risk, but somehow if they are not having sex with each other or they don't work for the government they create really big risks beyond that .Who drafts these endless redrafts? When the police committee finally got around to defining a bubble they make it only 2 people and only you and someone else .Its unworkable and doesn't allow people to show common sense in making risk management decisions of their own .
COVID is not the first time Premier Andrews, for example, has chosen coercion and fear therapy over education
Any way you know what I mean . unworkable and unfair and ultimately not weighing up the VARIUOS risks involved ( only deaths from COVID and even that we don't have that clear YET with comorbidities data ) .
Honest engagement and a full education ( deaths hospitalizations comorbidities across the world ) is still absent and needed.
While the attention seekers continue to assume control, the truth and half truth a answers to a growing list of questions , takes second place.
Only recently i have confirmation from a key expert that the use of mutation and human creation by the media is probably very misleading .
The rapid changes in the virus do not rely on genetic mutations (which are slow and via selection which we can control a bit ) but on poor RNA replication ( which we presumably cannot control.)
The expectation many of us had 18 mths ago, that we would be limited not to death and inoculation control ( which maybe largely comorbidity) but to ameliorates and treatment s still seems to be relevant - if hot widely accepted .
These questions need answers please .
Whatever and however big the threat , honesty will help all of us move on.
