A few days ago, a friend asked me to make a FB group for our friend circle planning a tea party. I made the group and invited six people. SIX PEOPLE. It's for a tea party, at someone's house. ... wait for it ... (AI slop post 1/ ?)

The only time I get sick is when I visit with family. The only time I don't mask is when I'm with family. There's a clear correlation. 🤧

Why COVID-19 is “a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one” “The virus enters through the airways but exerts its systemic effects through the vasculature, the common denominator in the lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain,” Benest tells The BMJ. Source: www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Is "infection control" basically just astrology?

Australia isn’t facing new viruses. We’re facing weaker surveillance. When testing and reporting drop, outbreaks don’t disappear — they’re just seen later, making events look sudden and alarming.

Two years ago today my close friend in his 50s died from covid infections induced seizures. Not during the first seizure, but several months after. His initial infection was "mild" apart from the seizures. COVID is not a cold. Its still not a cold.

First vaccine targeting SARS virus family enters human trials A new vaccine, GBP511, developed by UW Medicine, has entered clinical trials in Australia. It targets COVID-19 and related coronaviruses, including future threats, with trials led by South Korean pharmaceutical company SK Bioscience.

My Uber driver took one look at me and sped off. I was wearing a respie, and I think it was that… Probably. Who knows.

A 13-year-old boy has been hailed a hero after swimming four hours through rough seas to get help for his mother and two siblings, who were swept out to sea on an inflatable paddleboard in WA's South West.

Measles cases in Australia are also off to a steeper start in 2026, after reaching a level in 2025 that was roughly equivalent to the US tally, on a per-capita basis. But not as steep as the recent US growth, thankfully. 🧵

I suspect that on Wuhan wild-type C19, enforcing fomite/droplet mitigation, while leaving the door wide open to airborne transmission for, created evolutionary pressures that selected out a super-airborne Omicron variant.

It was a young person talking too. In their 30s I estimate. This gives me hope that after I die, you all won’t be left without a single voice that still says this out loud. Elimination.

Protest sign in Minnesota today...

Thanks Denis! Hopefully what comes out of the ACDC is better.

I've now lost two brothers to hospital acquired COVID. It's real!

Ladies… pay attention! The SAVE Act would require voter ID to match your birth certificate. Almost 80% of married women take their spouses name and would be ineligible to vote. Trump knows this. It’s what he wants. He wants to stop women from voting.

"The Australian Government has made a decision to no longer publish data about COVID-19 cases in Australian residential aged care facilities on a weekly basis." @healthgovau.bsky.social @markbutlermp.bsky.social

People could wear respirators and stop this. Influenza doesn't magically appear in your body because it's cold outside. Someone who is infected breathes it out, and you breathe it in. IT'S AIRBORNE like cigarette smoke. Washing your hands won't stop it unless you breathe through your damn hands.

I just read an article claiming that an adult male, wearing full winter gear and something on top of it that looks like a tactical vest, who appeared to be on the outside of a vehicles right turn at slow speed had internal bleeding.

Done with github for private projects since there is no guarantee that Microslop will not train their AI moron on things I prefer to stay private for *whatever reason*. Experimenting again with Gitlab and Bitbucket

Those update dates have passed for Vic and Tas but no updates?

Applied at another online tutoring center. I really hope something comes of it. I really would like to teach again and be able to feel useful in life again. I hope my doctor clears me to return to the classroom at least for a few more years. I miss my old life and routine so much. I felt so happy.

I tried to share but the link is broken

#C0VIDisnotover #maskforyourlife #cleantheair As some might know I’m in regular contact with NSW politician to whom I send COVID related papers & articles.

This is exactly the point of the whole exercise. Why didn't the Germans try to stop the Nazis? They knew they would be shot dead if they tried.

When did you stop posting on X? Person A: When its owner made nazi salutes. Person B: When it became a production and distribution channel for images of child sexual abuse. Government: We're still posting there.

When millions of lives are at risk… you have to speak up. Even if that means you lose your job. #COVIDisAirborne always was, always will be.

This is the ninth shooting by ICE since September (I did not know that). All of them were into vehicles.

“The transformation is astonishing. [Paris] has quietly—& quickly—become one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. What started as a series of emergency “coronapistes” or pop-up bike lanes, built during the pandemic has evolved into a permanent bike network spanning hundreds of kilometres.”

A foreign government making a target list of Australians and organisations is truly disgusting.

I'm an American/Canadian living in B.C. I had a pacemaker placed a few years ago and a mild heart attack recently. There was no charge. If I still lived in the U.S. I probably would be dead. Couldn't have afford the care I recive here.

Merry Christmas all! It struck me today that this is the first Xmas since the 2021 Omicron wave that I have had zero COVID inpatients. The lull isn’t expected to last. x.com/jpweiland/st...

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

"If HCWs wear N95 respirators and surgical masks throughout, the total infection risk can be reduced by 94.7 % and 53.9 %, respectively Increasing the ventilation rate from 1 ACH to 6 ACH reduced the infection risk. ." FYI NSW Health & @racgp.bsky.social et al www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Workplace exposures tied to higher risk of long COVID. Study of 2,054 workers in Spain (2020–23) found nearly 1 in 4 (23.7%) developed long COVID. People in high-exposure jobs face a 44% higher risk of long COVID — Health and social care workers, teachers, retail, transport, and security staff.

As I understand today's discussion, we can stop an ISIS cell by policing the speaker list at writer's festivals and the BA syllabus at Unis. And by "stopping demonstrations." This is madness.

Watched an old home video. My mum visiting day 2 after baby's birth. She had a deep cough and congested. I was heavily medicated and didn't notice. The day we left hospital my son turned blue. He had his first chest infection. Age 2 was diagnosed with an immune deficiency disorder. Immunoglobulins.

It was a hit piece. I agree the heading was innocuous, the body a blatant attempt to discredit the bravest person on the day.

Just wait until Australia's right-wing media start the process of bullying and attacking the guy who tackled the shooter

Could all the American influencers pushing in tandem for more guns in Australian just Fuck. The. Hell. Off. Thank you.

"Pinch Me" moment - not every day you beat multiple world leaders in the Top Stories section ...

Australia’s TGA has added the new Comirnaty LP.8.1 COVID-19 vaccine, targeting the LP.8.1 variant. It’s recommended annually for adults 18–64 who aren’t severely immunocompromised and is free for all residents. Pfizer says it’s now available.

A woman in Saskatchewan needs surgery for a parathyroid issue and is being offered MAiD instead. There’s no one in the province who can perform the procedure and the government won’t pay to send her elsewhere. This is why disability advocates warn about assisted dying 🧵
