"Cairns in shockdown" (CP 9/8) except it's not a shock - it's completely unsurprising. That's because when ScoMo was at the G7 he agreed to trial "stage four restrictions" for the "new normal" regardless of the course of "the virus." This was all planned in advance - and we're a nation of hostages to irrational ideas. Joanne, Manunda
It's well over two weeks since the Delta strain was loose in Mareeba. I still don't know of anyone who so much as sneezed, much less died from it. Spiro, Mareeba
400,000 Aussies not allowed to go overseas - nannystate says "no." We started as a prison island and we ended as a prison island. Vale, fair Australia, for I loved thee well, and while your death went unremarked many of us will mourn for you. Rosie, Stratford
Coronaviruses prefer cold weather, which is why colds and flus are more common in winter. The country with the fewest government covid restrictions was Sweden, which has lots of cold weather. Sweden's results are an annual death rate similar to the previous, pre-covid, years. In other words, even in covid-friendly climates it was better for government to advise the people but not to attempt to control the people. By contrast, our politicians have likely caused more deaths from suicide and postponed medical attention than they think they've saved. Angry Aussie, Cairns
(CP 9/8) Look, the best help the business sector (which is owners and customers) can get would be for the government to just quit their covid drama. Only lefties believe it now, and even they're losing their faith. It's gone on too long for too little at too high a cost. The government has no money except that which it takes from us or borrows in our names - and we can no longer afford to fund their covid delusions. Chloe, Kuranda
Excellent question about CO2, Teddy of Bungalow (CP, 07/08). The answer is no, all the travel restrictions and lockdowns have not affected the atmospheric CO2 flux. The CSIRO's Cape Grim data is here - capegrim.csiro.au/ - and NOAA's Mauna Loa data is here - gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/mlo.html. Both confirm that humans have no detectable influence on CO2. Higgs, Tolga
The more doubts about the vaccines arise, the more sensitive those who have had the jab become to any criticism of their shot's safety and efficacy. I got my head bitten off for merely saying that the jab is irreversible. Sandy, Caravonica
Of course 'activities are grinding to a halt.' It's not proper socialism until the peasants are denied all the simple pleasures of life. Lu, Cairns
If you don't have cold or flu symptoms but you're getting tested for "covid 19" you're contributing to the government-led hysteria and you're putting yourself at risk of two weeks house arrest from a false positive. Jeannie, Bramston Beach
In March we heard all about The Coof wreaking havoc in PNG. Doomsday pronouncements abounded. Whatever happened to all that? It seemed to get memory-holed. Is anyone left alive up there? Expat, Cairns
British medical journal 'The Lancet' has released research showing the "absolute risk reduction" of the most effective covid vaccine is just 1.8 per cent. That just destroyed any possible justification for the government's vaccine obsession. Astrid, Edmonton
Peter Gleeson, "activists" is a misnomer. Environmental activists are attacking the things on which we all rely and which none of us can survive without. A complete win for them would see the few survivors back in the stone age. And that makes them "terrorists." Davina, Bungalow
Reports are coming in from around the world that the covid virus in no longer detectable in advanced laboratories that use more serious methods than the unreliable RT-PCR test. Whatever came out of the Chinese lab didn't have what it takes to survive for long in the wild. Which makes you wonder what our govt ningnongs are up to. VL, Smithfield
CP. 9/8. "US slams poll." That's rich coming from a Democrat - their theft of the US November is legendary and the only people that don't believe it happened are Democrat useful idiots and their fully-owned media outlets. Woz, Parramatta Park
Since the taxi driver's positive test (CP, 09/08) was done locally and was probably one of the PCR tests the US CDC has determined yield too many false positives, could we please arrange to have the sample examined under an electron microscope to determine if it really is the Delta variant of SARS-Cov-2 and not just a dead fragment of an old common cold virus? I think we're owed that much. Darryl, Westcourt

How many weeks has it been since the Delta-infected covid ward worker visited Townsville and Maggie? Six? Seven? So where's the overwhelmed hospital and piles of deceased parkies? F.M.D., Hermit Park
