VIRUS REMAINS A THREAT

SO the chief health officer, Dr Jeannette Young, informs us that once the borders are open and restrictions are lifted, everyone in

Queensland will eventually get Covid-19. With all due respect, Ma’am, did you forget to add “and some people with underlining health issues may face the grim probability of not being able to survive this pandemic?”, regardless of how many jabs you have had.

Could Queensland Health please define, what they interpret as the meaning of underlining health issues?

Half of Australia’s population has one form or another of health issues. Are all of these people also living on borrowed time?

Or is it the “lame ducks” like myself and many others I know who will not survive regardless of how many jabs we get?

For me, it matters very little because I know for a fact that my chances of survival are not good as the medical experts put it in a nice sort of way.

But, then again, I consider it a very small price and an even smaller sacrifice, to pay for getting our towns, cities and Queensland back to some form of normality once again.

Many people with these underlining health problems may have different opinions but in reality it all boils down to “survival of the healthiest” and that’s life (or rather, a lack thereof).
