Palestinian footballer among 19 killed across Gaza

The public were misled into thinking COVID is mild, it’s not.

People Still Baffled By Mysterious Condition ‘Long Covid’ That Suddenly Appeared A Few Years Ago Out Of Nowhere.

Why Are So Many Children Getting Long Covid? What Could Possibly Have Caused This? Lockdowns? Vaccines? Gluten? Screentime? Anxiety? Fortnite? Face Masks? What?

Gee... Imagine that? 🙄🙄 Long Cövid is related to absenteeism.. NEVER would have made that connection 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️😡 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

“Global SARS-CoV-2 activity has been increasing, with the test positivity rate reaching 11%, levels that have not been observed since July 2024” www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/who...

We can’t continue to live long lives which are productive and healthy unless we act on #COVID. Young people are having their lives severely impacted by this. Open windows Use a Hepa air purifier Use nasal sprays Get vaccinated Wear a ffp2/3 mask Please choose to do some or all of the above.

Looks as if we should expect a large summer Covid wave given the new variant, NB.1.8.1, has emerged which has quickly become dominant in China, and is taking over in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia according to @chrischirp.bsky.social christinapagel.substack.com/p/latest-cov...

“China noted a rise in outpatient cases from 7.5% to 16.2% and severe hospitalized cases from 3.3% to 6.3%” The latest COVID variant is sweeping across Asia, causing “razor blade throat” and other concerning symptoms. The US dismantles reporting, remove access to testing & may restrict vaccines:

Australia: Record-breaking surge in respiratory illnesses. Reported cases since the start of the year: 🔹Flu: 80,105 (19 May) 🔹COVID: 58,322 (4 May) 🔹RSV: 41,800 (4 May) Source: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Australia Weekly COVID Update: 23 May 2025 COVID cases are rising across Australia: WA shows the biggest jump with a (+135%) increase, followed by SA (+63.4%), QLD (+31.7%), and NSW (+31.1%) VIC & TAS updates coming 30 May/13 June; Aged Care report delayed; ACT paused, NT stopped data.

Taiwan: Weekly COVID-19 cases could hit 100,000 during peak in June. COVID-19 weekly visits were projected to peak at 55K–65K in mid-to-late June, but 19,189 people have already sought treatment in just the first 3 days of this week, suggesting an early surge. focustaiwan.tw/society/2025...

The UN is urging Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza, warning that the entire population faces famine risk as food insecurity reaches catastrophic levels. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.io/2nx363

I think a lot of people might think, If SARS2/COVID were really that dangerous, then the government would do something about it and resolve it ASAP. As a survivor of the original HIV/AIDS crisis, I can tell you that no, unfortunately that isn’t necessarily the case.

With over 70,000 children hospitalized for malnutrition, Israel's blockade on the Strip has left parents to watch helplessly as their children waste away. Read more: www.972mag.com/gazan-childr...

Al Jazeera has been reporting on the release of 46 Palestinian women and minors by Israeli authorities on Thursday. We spoke with members of the group, some of whom were taken from Gaza months ago. 🟥 Read report: aje.io/ibqqdf

COVID was an opportunity to adapt & be a more inclusive society. We could have learned about airborne spread & adopted clean air standards. Improved ventilation. Made more outdoor spaces. Normalized masking. Instead we’ve politicized infection control & made society less safe for everyone

“Every day there are more published studies about how bad SARS-CoV-2 is for many different organ systems.”

“Contrary to what is often portrayed in the media, long COVID is not a mystery. There is a straightforward reason at least some people may remain ill “after COVID”: They still have the SARS-CoV-2 virus — or parts of the virus — in their bodies.” www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

Everything about this sucks but I can't quite get over the codename being UNDERCOVERJEW then this

If you haven't been masking, today is the best day to start doing so again.

Remember that a mask does more than protect against covid. A well fitted respirator will also keep you safe from flu, measles, TB and other airborne viruses. It will keep those around you safe if you’re sick. It’s an easy way to demonstrate community care and solidarity.

The ABC continuing their recent practice of punching themselves publicly in the head. For an organisation dedicated to avoiding any or all controversy at all costs, this has to be one of the greatest own goals in the Australian national broadcaster's history. Who is pushing this? #LattoufvABC

Of course they came first for Trans Men and Women because that’s what the Nazis did. You go after the smallest most vulnerable groups and then you see you get away with it and you keep on going.

Ethnic cleansing? Yeah, give it a try... At least we know when it comes to advocating for Trump, "Strategic Analysis Australia" has no limits

Had a sleep in because notionally I am on sick leave after the bike crash, and cripes.... Just checked in on @amyremeikis.bsky.social's live blog and it has been a morning - live.australiainstitute.org.au

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

New: After the IDF killed Zomi Frankcom in April, @SenatorPayman told Penny Wong she was willing to be "the bad guy" and call for sanctions on Israel. Wong turned her down, saying "it’ll just corner the government and make life difficult for us". everythingisfine.beehiiv.com/p/fatima-pay...

A journalist who has spent the last 16 months documenting the horrors of Israel’s genocide now shares the return of displaced Palestinians to the north—an area Israel desperately tried to ethnically cleanse during its months-long siege.

Trump says Jordan and Egypt should take more Palestinians from Gaza, calling the territory a ‘demolition site’ after Israel’s 15-month war: ‘You’re talking about a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.’

BREAKING: At least 11 people have been killed and 83 others injured in Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon so far, says the Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ab8bxo

“Refugees for thee not for me.”

This is terrifying. What's worse, is that Britain has chosen the side of Musk, Netanyahu and Trump.

Displaced people in southern Gaza are waiting to return to northern Gaza, although most of their homes are destroyed, but they love the soil of their homes.🇵🇸

I see why it’s said that nice people make the best Nazis, because what’s happening now in the US wouldn’t be possible without the polite silence or cordial complicity of great masses of people

One of the easiest, most visible ways to resist is to mask Safeguarding your health is more important than ever. It’s easier to fight back when you’re not chronically ill It shows you care about disabled & marginalized individuals It tells government you won’t be complicit in the harm of others

Many don’t want to talk about COVID and it’s understandable. We all want the Pandemic to be over, no one wants to think about the possibility of organ damage and long covid. Hardly nice conversation to talk about. If we don’t talk and act we are condemning the children to a future of poor health. 🧵

The positions and actions by most of the rest of the world in regards to Israel’s blatant, bloody and continued genocide of Palestinians are appalling. We stand by and do nothing at all to stop, protect, defend the Gazans from genocide. How can this be, in this day and age, knowing what we know?

Wherein "mildly progressive agenda" is code for maintaining the status quo. Don't know about you, but I kinda hoped for more. Seems to be the case in the US, UK and Oz, the catch cry is "vote for this underperforming party, coz the other side is so much worse." That's where we are.

We deserve better. Many of us are only alive because of the kindness of others within the community who step up and help. Start demanding accountability from politicians. From the wealthy among us. Start helping us find a sustainable way to survive and thrive /14
