tl;dr: covid is a vascular disease, not a respiratory illness. it can affect your blood and every organ in your body. every time you're reinfected, your chances of getting long covid increase.

avoid being infected. reduce the amount of viral load you're exposed to.

the gap between what the scientific community knows and ordinary people know is massive. collective action is needed.

A landmark court decision has found that the Queensland, Au. COVID vaccine mandate for police and paramedics was unlawful.

Queensland Health has determined that they will not be appealing, opening the possibility for compensation. 🤔

Everyone knows the forced vaccinations and other mandates were "unlawful" and "unconstitutional" - that's not the case for 'some people' as their discussing in Australia this week.

It applies to everyone across the board.

1000 days of covid.... a reflection... what do you remember?

If I asked many of the memory of covid, it would be toilet paper shortages, the media call to treat nurses and doctors as heroes, lockdowns and social isolation. But there's more, though....

The picture above is of a near bare row of supermarket shelves, with only a few rolls of toilet paper.

My own memories, in general terms, would be:

The curious spread of this flu variant through China and its neighbouring countries. (Via media reports. Plus its rapid rise up the priority reading list for the broadcast reader/ reporter/ news team)

The slow response of most governments to the emerging cases (easy with hindsight)

The tourist ship Ruby Princess docking with (eventually a total of) 22 cases on board, docking in Sydney. No quarantine controls enforced effectively at that point in time. (And Covid had been a thing well reported)

The toilet paper shortages, followed by shortages of pasta, rice, disinfectant and other staple foods from shelves. Never seen so many bare shelves before, except in news reports where people cleaned out stores in the face of cyclones or snow storms.

The growing weirdness of still going to work when others were getting government pay to stay at home. Apart from the driver, there'd be 2 other people on the bus in.

Add in the loneliness and the ghost town feeling of walking through an empty city. Except for the essential food services, so kids could still get you your order of coffee and mcbreakfast.... odd contrast, you'd agree.

Oh, the anger and entitlement of the covid deniers and anti-maskers.

My father in law complained about mask wearing on a flight down from Queensland to visit us. While my wife, a nurse, is donning full personal protective equipment (PPE) to help with patients. He's not entitled, just an oblivious, selfish idiot.

A bit of resentment at those who got the payments to not work, while I was an essential worker, in the finance sector had to work through. Discussing insurance with customers. All of them wanting discounts for (multitude of self justified reasons). That was tiring...

On the 'others staying home' a lot of people were making bread, trying new hobbies, going back to old hobbies, riding bikes to get fit... that only seemed to last 2 months, then it was easier to watch digitally streamed shows...

Oh, the growing gap between those who could afford the digital upgrade to work and/or study from home. And those that couldn't... that gap is bigger, and will show up in a decade or so...

Travel? Yeah, we'd travel from the couch to the kitchen table, work, then we'd travel to the letterbox and then to the couch again. On weekends, some of us would travel to the shed, to mow the lawns as part of the outside world travel.

Then the acceptance, as we waited for the vaccine to be made. Too late for too many in China, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom....

The USA being the most vocal of the anti-maskers and covid deniers. Because of Trump and his idiot approach to the crisis and his vanity.

A few covid conspiracy people I have spoken to, and seen the marches. I don't have time for dealing with these kind of people. Got used to being able to distance myself pretty quickly.

Overall though, I've become a bit more self directed towards entertaining myself (books and going back to the scale hobby of modelling) and fed up with a big insurance company making lots of profit while increasing the consumers insurance bill by about 20% average per year...

And remote studying has become a lonely grind. I am succeeding in my course so far.

Overall, post vaccine roll-out, we've adapted.

It's gone from being "the Chinese flu" (a pejorative term) to the "spicy cough".

So far, I have remained covid free.

And I have science, medicine and society to thank for that.

23 December 2022.

1000 days of covid.

@bundibird @scrapironflotilla thanks for just engaging with this little effort (it will continue)

It has been a while since I've written anything here in a while and So Much has Happened, and I kept thinking about making a post here, but then things kept Happening.

I am currently on school holidays finally, after the longest term in the world, and my first as a Head of Department. I feel exhausted, but it's a good role and better than when I was in pastoral care. My classes are lovely. I continue to wonder how much longer I can work in schools for though, and I applied for a Dream Job (not with schools) a few weeks ago, but didn't even get an interview. I received a nice, thoughtful rejection though, and it let me know there's other things out there.

I wrote, produced and performed in a show at the Fringe two months ago, and it went so ridiculously well I am still processing it. So many people I knew came, including from interstate, or friends I hadn't seen in years. (No one from my family except my mother came, lol.) I had strangers coming up to me weeping and asking to hug me. I've been asked to perform it at schools. It got nominated for an award, so I got to go to the final ceremony with all the best performing artists from around the world, which was wild. I wish I could just do this for a living, and I want to try, but something wanting to be a writer feels like a kid saying they want to be a mermaid.

The final weekend of the festival, the morning after the awards, I tested positive for COVID for the first time. I'd been so scared of getting it and how it was going to affect me due to all my health conditions, and while it hit me hard, it was manageable, and I shudder to think what it would have been like before the vaccinations.

My health still worries me. I get one thing under control and then another thing flares up. I know this will likely be my life, and that can feel a bit despairing, though all of it is fairly manageable the vast majority of the time. Getting another blood test tomorrow.

We're coming up to a year since I left my husband, which is absolutely wild to think about. I don't know where that time has gone, and it's been one of the best years of my life, which is a feeling that has a lot of Complicated Feelings to it, including guilt. It also means I am coming up to the time where I can apply for a divorce, and I can only hope that this will go as smoothly as I can, but I am not holding my breath. But no matter how difficult it is, it will soon be over, and I can close that chapter.

I started seeing a new therapist. There is nothing wrong with my old one, he has been wonderful, but I've seen him for a long time and felt like I was starting to need a fresh perspective. He is also an elderly man, and my new one is a younger woman, which has had a big impact. She has a very different approach to previous mental health support, but it has been perfect for me; she talks to me a lot about self-compassion, and holding space for those Complicated Feelings. She's helped me worked through a lot of Stuff from the separation, and it's quite remarkable the places she's been able to take me. She's fucking expensive though.

And finally: tomorrow I fly to Queensland to see my partner, the person who helped bring me back to life (to quote Ms Swift) and we're then going to put all his things in a removalist truck, jump in his car, and drive right back here. Can I highly recommend falling in love in your thirties? We are both still getting used to being with someone who is kind to us, as we have our own Past and Triggers but he is a Safe Place, and he SEES me, and it's the most extraordinary thing.

Also, how is it already April?

Blatantly Partisan Party Review XXXVI (federal 2022): Australia One

(This party did not so much as apply for registration, despite soliciting donations to help it do so. It is standing independents instead. Spoiler alert: this is really cooked stuff)

Running where: all mainland states—see list below for electorates so you know if there is an independent you need to avoid

Prior reviews: None, this is a new party, but it emerged from the ashes of the Australian Conservatives (NSW 2019, federal 2019)

What I said before: “Let’s hope these bilious disagreeable people and their miserable party soon collapse in a heap and that after Cory Bernardi’s current term in the Senate expires in 2022 we never hear a thing from them ever again.”

What I think this year: Well, I got part of my wish. Cory’s party collapsed and he did not even serve out his term—he resigned in January 2020. His remaining followers scattered: some back to the Liberal Party, some to One Nation, some to UAP, and some went elsewhere. That’s where Australia One comes in. Riccardo Bosi stood for the Australian Conservatives as the second candidate on their NSW ticket for the Senate in 2019. After the party collapsed, he decided to found Australia One, stood in the 2020 Eden-Monaro federal by-election (coming 13th out of 14) and the electoral district of Nicklin at the Queensland state election (coming 5th of 6), and has become prominent in the covid conspiracist freedom movement.

Bosi has, among other things, led “freedom” rallies. He breached South Australia’s covid rules and then accused a judge of having no standing and of being an imbecile and a traitor. He has threatened terrorist action to shut down water and power if crackpot demands are not met, and called for the hanging of judges and politicians. As well as peddling vaccine disinformation and violent covid conspiracism, he also believes 5G is a tool of the Chinese government.

The Australia One website is a wild ride with pages outlining supposed government policies and practices that breach the constitution. You know you’ve stumbled onto a website of unhinged brane geniouses when there is a “knowledge” menu with options that include “news you don’t see unless you look”. It’s pure “I am the smartest person in the room” conspiracist drivel. Australia One wildly misinterprets legislation for conspiracy-theorist and often sovereign-citizen purposes, appearing to believe that the government wants to microchip and quarantine the population. They peddle the debunked rumour that covid vaccines cause infertility, and employ alarmist anti-choice agitation on abortion that is pure American far-right textbook shit. They also think climate change is a conspiracy, citing the utterly discredited PragerU YouTube channel (the specific video they post has been thoroughly debunked).

The websites for the Australia One-aligned independents espouse similar rhetoric. In general they articulate a sense that the country is being, or has been, stolen from them and they want to take it back. Some of it is quite dangerous, most of it is utterly delusional.

Avoid the following independent candidates, all of whom are aligned with Australia One:

NSW: Riccardo Bosi (Division of Greenway)

QLD: Lindsay Temple (ungrouped independent for the Senate)

SA: Vince Pannell and Maddy Fry (both Division of Barker, oddly enough); Paul Busuttil (Division of Boothby)

VIC: James Laurie (Division of Bendigo); Craig Cole (Division of Casey); Dominique Murphy (Division of Chisholm); Darren Bergwerf (Division of Dunkley)

My recommendation: Give these independents very weak preferences indeed (in the QLD Senate, you can give Temple a weak or no preference—if you vote above the line you won’t need to worry about him anyway)

The backlash against the koala cull was fast – and intense, as seen in The Queenslander in September 1927.

We once killed 600,000 koalas in a year. Now they're Australia's 'teddy bears'. What changed?

Koalas are one of the world's most beloved animal species. They serve as symbols for everything from bushfire destruction to Australian tourism to caramel chocolate bars. These tree-dwelling marsupials get far more attention than many other endangered native species.

But Australians haven't always felt this way about our seemingly cuddly teddy-bear lookalikes. Far from it.

Almost a century ago, Queensland announced open season on koalas. Over the next month, well over 600,000 koalas were shot, trapped or poisoned in what has been dubbed "Black August".

George Christensen is back and he's already targeting drag

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/george-christensen-is-back-and-hes-already-targeting-drag/

George Christensen is back and he's already targeting drag

Ultra-conservative former MP George Christensen has made a political comeback in Mackay, winning a seat on the local council.

The former Nationals MP – and later One Nation member – was elected to the federal parliament in 2010. In the years that followed, he campaigned hard against the Safe Schools program – falsely likening it to “child grooming” – and same-sex marriage, famously abstaining from the final vote on the bill after his electorate said yes.

More recently during the pandemic, Christensen’s comments against vaccination got so off the rails even then-PM Scott Morrison rebuked him.

Later this week, George Christensen will be sworn into his new gig at the Mackay Regional Council.

He told Facebook followers his council election win gave him a mandate to “stand firm against the infiltration of ‘woke’ culture within our local government” and “the creeping imposition of ideologies that do not serve our community’s core values.”

Christensen told far-right outlet Rebel News ahead of the poll, “I don’t want Indigenous Voices on Mackay council.

“I don’t want to be crafting motions on the Israel-Palestine issue. I don’t want to do any of that rubbish.”

George Christensen slams drag performers, libraries

George Christensen demanded council focus on “basic services” only, but said he would somehow find the time to target “a lot of problems” in the “culture war space”.

He isn’t a fan of drag performers, criticising a family-friendly circus show featuring drag artists at Mackay’s convention centre later in the year.

“What is local government doing, putting that sort of stuff on?” he said.

“Fine if you want to go and see a drag queen, go to an adult club. But not for kids as young as four.”

In reality, the circus show Brats Carnival is a “high-energy, super fun afternoon show for all ages”. It’s produced by the popular Queensland arts collective Briefs Factory.

Meanwhile, George Christensen also vowed to investigate council libraries, accusing them of distributing “sexualised material” to children.

“I’ve had people come to me showing me books the local library is populated with for kids that are completely and utterly inappropriate,” he said.

George Christensen served as a councillor in Mackay in 2004 before he entered federal politics in 2010.

He later jumped ship from the Nationals to One Nation, claiming the Coalition just wasn’t conservative enough for him.

Australia News: 24.3.24.

1.) "The Australian dream of owning your own home - Albanese style. Coming to a city near you."

2.) "Media Shame File: Journalists show their economic illiteracy daily when it comes to immigration, but even so it's worrying that the political editor of The Age doesn't seem to understand how unemployment can fall during record-high population growth."

I'd say they were fully aware of what they were doing.

3.) QLD HOMESCHOOLING CRACKDOWN ->

https://youtu.be/TudVFaYc36A

Make a submission: https://qldparlcomm.snapforms.com.au/form/eetsc---education-general-provisions-and-other-legislation-amendment-bill-2024.

It is highly likely that other governments will enact similar harsh laws if they succeed in Queensland. Do not let them.

Also "Our main points of concern:

we do not want to be restricted to using the Australian Curriculum.

reporting to EVERY area in the plan and PROVING educational progress is too much and not even required in schools.

determining if home education is in the best interest of the child is a parental right, this power doesn't belong with the Education department."

Parents should have the freedom to decide how best to educate their children because education is not a one-size-fits-all solution.

4.) NDIS - What is myplace?

"Just a heads up for all you MyPlace people. There are already trade marked companies in Australia using that name.

Be warned you may be in danger of copyright infringement and court action.

I'm telling you this because I care that you don't get sued, and also because you really should not use someone else's business name. Be original rather than just copying someone else.

The MyPlace brand in Australia is to do with Government, Monitoring, Professional Sports Sponsorship, Public Education and The NDIS. Do you really want your name involved with that?

I wouldn't.

@roobsaussieflyers."

5.) Australia Immigration ->

"Record immigration is causing a housing crisis that’s now a human catastrophe

The more serious governance issue is Labor federal government lying last year saying it would reduce immigration

One Nation exposed the Lib-Lab Uniparty “big Australia”

People want immigration cuts." - Senator Roberts uncensored - Telegram.

6.) "Getting a COVID jab is safer than taking aspirin."

"Currently appears on the University of Melbourne website.

“The risk of rare side effects from COVID-19 vaccines like AstraZeneca are greatly exaggerated as they are far safer than many medicines people are taking every day.” "

- @PeoplePowerAus.
