You’re in your late 20s You don’t mask You’re getting COVID 2-3 times per year “a cold” By the time you’re 40 you will have been infected 20-30 times with a virus that infects every organ in your body - including your brain How survivable do you think that is?

Ah, Book Week, when your primary school teacher pops in to #spotlightstores to save up to 30% on a racist cliche about the sex industry #makeitwithspotlight

I am saying here that it is absolutely crazy that, in some parts of Australia, hospitals are in N95s, in others they are in surgical masks, and in others (Queensland, naturally!) they are in nothing. THIS. IS. NOT. RATIONAL. PUBLIC. HEALTH.

If you take precautions, such as wearing a good respirator to protect yourself from dangerous air quality, or to keep yourself and others safe from Covid, you are not “living in fear”. You are bravely facing reality and adapting. Thank you. 🙏

It has been TWENTY YEARS and yet I cannot hear any sort of South African-accented greeting without my brain adding DOCTOR RUDI HEEYAR

I cannot dispute the practicality of having a compact and precise way to say 'to give something as a gift' and yet I burn with irrational hatred for the word gifting

I'm not sure how I forgot my passion for banana chips for like 30 years but I'm back now and I hope my six-year-old self is proud

205 people died of Covid in Australia this week. To get a visual feel for that number, this is about 150 people. Add another 60, a large coach load, and you’re about there.

ABRACADABRA! In the least surprising news ever, the excess mortality baseline gets shifted upwards 12%, thus making the staggering excess mortality from SARS-COV-2 vanish, as if in a puff of magician's smoke...

My cousin complains that whenever they go anywhere his girlfriend still insists that they both wear masks and he does it for her, for her, of course he does it, but he asks me what I think her insistence sounds like and I tell him that I think it sounds like love.

No, I Don’t Know Anyone Off Sick From Work With Long Covid. No, Terry Has New Onset Fatigue, Sophie has New Onset Vertigo, Paul From Purchasing Only Had A Heart Attack, Maggie From Accounts Has Developed Intense Anxiety, Maggie In Sales Has New Chronic Back Pain...

Australian health authorities bent to economic & ideological pressures to be done with Covid. Regrettably, the virus didn’t get the memorandum. Covid is not done with us. Time to get over getting over with Covid, face facts & reduce infections. theguardian.com/society/2023/m…
