@thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social is this the site you sometimes use🤔 🤞

What a unique and innovative idea 👌🙌👏😍

But it would surprise most people here who have not been following this data to see that our excess death rate has been around +6.5% in 2023 and 2024, and was still at +5% in August 2025. Could our health departments be doing more to mitigate that impact? 🧵

PeekaBOO. #COVIDisNotOver even if you hide it under a blanket of no data.

“The Trump grab for an airport named after him is just the latest grift in a presidential term that experts so far estimate has enriched the Trump family by at least $4 billion” “Russell Vought took $15 million [from] USAID, which fed starving children, for his own security detail”

People of “Texas’ 22nd Congressional District.” you know what to do

RIP~ Robert Duvall To me, he was a strong advocate against power hungry data centers that are threatening the landscape in my hometown. He spoke at many town meetings . He was a cowboy, who could truly sit a horse, never losing the stride. www.insidenova.com/headlines/os...

“When you put a tax on something you get less of it” says Angus. Yes Angus that’s why Labor put a tax on carbon 20 years ago to STOP FOSSIL FUEL POLLUTION and what did you and your venal mates do in government? 😏 #ABC730

Love AI, and am going to invest everything in its success

Let's seriously talk about whooping cough, because sanitised admin speak doesn't cut it. A baby or toddler. YOUR baby or toddler in hospital on oxygen, fighting for every breath. The heart wrenching whooping is the noise of her trying to breathe in. /2

Being disabled is not a moral failing. It’s not something you can try harder your way out of. Healthy lifestyle and “wellness” won’t stop it from happening. It’s a minority group you can join at any time. We aren’t less than. We aren’t expendable. We aren’t to blame.

Ok read this whole thread.. it’s a positive one… But I was stopped by this post .. “They were abducting kids while other kids jumped on the agents to try to stop them.” Read that again slowly… “..other kids jumped on the agents to try to stop them.” #TheKidsAreAlright 💪💚

Enjoy this little round up of Angus Taylor's many talents . . . and yes, it's from the tiktok pages of Rupert's Australian (apologies for the aspect ratio, my converter refused to do anything better than this 😎)

The pandemic preparedness programme at NIAD is to be cut in yet another inexplicable decision by Bhattacharya. Without the research that was done by institutes such as the NIAD that was already looking at coronaviruses we would not have had such speedy vaccine development 🧪🧵 #HealthPolicy

This and all the replies

So far… 1.2million so far

#music #legend 🙌 *happy sigh*

Six years ago as January ended and February began the WHO declared Covid a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and though that may seem like a lifetime ago, the tragic fact is it was more than 7.1 million (reported) or 18.2-33.5 million (estimated) lifetimes ago. 😔💔

Omgosh !! Public health (isn’t quite) dead! 👏🙌 *mutters darkly* reminds me of our ‘2020 Victorian Health dept’ *heavy sigh*

You may have heard that the astronauts preparing to go to space wear N95 masks to protect themselves, which just goes to show that protecting yourself from transmissible viruses isn’t rocket science. * A compendium of the 309th week of plague poems… librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2026/02/13/p...

3 not overseas 1 traveller with the airport listed… where were all those people going who were on that flight into Sydney 🤔 ☹️ #alt

AI use is rampant among students at uni. Bizarrely, AI seems to know a lot about things you don't know about, and very little about the things you do know about. To me, it's like that overconfident friend who gives out random info & advice and you have no idea if any of it is accurate.

Live now on ABC

Always worth a moment...... This formidable group of badass women 👏👏👏👏👏👏

You don't need to be an Olympic athlete or an astronaut to wear a respirator Your life is precious too ❤️

These numbers are for UK I think in Australia we are slower or a bit behind the curve (ok straight line, up and to the right) as the majority of Aussies were vaccinated before we opened I have an A-Z of why I till wear a mask, it only has a few gaps left 😔💔

#alt first photo repeated to fit alt text

🤯

Today I had to explain to a surgeon why it's important to wear respirator style masks around vulnerable patients. I am tired

This👇x 1,000,000 😮‍💨🥴😔 #alt the video shows some sort orange flare set off. A perspex box is lowered trapping the orange flare and an air purifier. Initially you cannot see anything but orange ‘smoke’. Slowly the air purifier does its job & all that is left is an orange smear on the side of the box

From the article 👇 "It probably was a nice moment, just between teammates," said Anni Arko, a sports reporter for the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti. "But it was such a big risk. Like, I just couldn't believe my eyes that they actually did that."

If your stomach doesn’t churn reading this, you’ve already stopped thinking of people as human beings 💔This admin’s goal “ICE[‘s] Todd Lyons told attendees: “We need to get better at treating this like a business.” He called for a deportation process “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.””

ministerial discretion still has to confirm to facts in the world tho. If Herzog is the major event he literally can not be in the eastern suburbs and northern CBD while he is in fact at Darling Harbour.

Pelicans are one of my favourite birds to photograph. These birds were landing at Bald Hill Beach while bathed in golden dawn light.

42 in January alone.

Australian athletes in P2 masks as they prepare for the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. It’s protecting your health when it’s athletes but it’s hypochondria when it’s anyone else who doesn't want to destroy their body with repeat infections. #COVID #WinterOlympics

💙📚 I’ve bought mine 👏💪 “Do yourself a favour” Get it NOW ✨Can’t wait to get my 👀 on this!✨

Emphasizing "low-cost" & "dramatically improving air quality." There are no air cleaners that come anywhere close to a classic CR Box wrt effectiveness of particle removal and effectiveness per $. And there are abundant studies by research teams across the US that have come to the same conclusion.

Correct statement, and also correct if "almost" is removed. 🙂

💔😔 Are these the worst of the worst the president speaks of

Gideon Haigh on SLofV “You couldn’t make it up, really, especially the delicious detail that Michael owns his business’s name, of whose provenance the acting CEO was unaware: he thought that Michael was ‘Mr Tulk’.” ✨Petition to support Mr Tulk cafe in article & quoted post #Victoria #Library

I was looking for trump supporters reactions to the racist post..(coz I feel compelled to try to understand their motivations/justification) and I found this- unverified, but I don’t always have time or inclination to verify _everything_ I read #alt

There is something very odd happening to Labor leaders. They seem to think that inviting the President of Israel to Australia will help heal trauma while inviting an Australian of Palestinian descent to a literary festival will cause division. Is this stupidity or capture?

😶 "Once it's in the air and the person leaves, it can actually hang around for about 30 minutes," Professor Spurrier said. "When you're in an enclosed space — if it's in the change room, for example, it's an enclosed space — then it is highly contagious." #measles #respirator #CleanTheAir

I never studied history An error on my part In 2020 I learned from epidemiologists In 2025/6 I’m learning from historians 💔
