Ben Fordham is calling on the end to alarmism as Australia learns to leave with COVID-19.

Ben has pointed to a comparison of 880 Australians dying of COVID in the last month like an Airbus A-320 plane crashing with no survivors every week.

“If you’re shocked by that number, brace yourself,” Ben said.

“Every year – about 160,000 Australians die.

“That’s 13,300 a month. Or, using the alarmist scale, that’s 16 A-320 planes full of people every week!”

In the same month 880 people have died with coronavirus:

• 4,000 Aussies died from cancer
• 1,300 died from Alzheimer’s
• 1,160 from heart disease
• 1,100 from respiratory illness
• 700 from stroke

Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant has revealed that of the 28 deaths from coronavirus last week in NSW only four did not have comorbidities.

These include:

• 10 had serious heart issues
• 7 had diabetes
• 6 had kidney disease
• 6 had obesity
• 6 had chronic lung disease

“The elderly and the vulnerable need to be very careful,” Ben said.

“But for the majority coronavirus should not be a source of crippling fear, it can no longer hold us back from living.

“We’ve sacrificed too much since all of this began.”
