TheirABC is flooded with COVID porn.

It’s an improvement on climate pron at least. They’ve been going on and on about that longer than Greta has been alive. And still nothing is happened.

My editing is so bad I should apply to the ABC for a job. Grr.

On Prince Andrew’s teddies:

Come on now. This seems like over-egging the pudding to me.

Yet there it is, promoed by the soft-left Mirror on behalf of ITV and spread out in one of the UK’s most influential rags.

Of course. Silly old me.

Time to work toward fixing it, or piss off and shut up if you don’t like it.

Sometimes you have to emotionally walk away and throw the dice.
Australia has many, many advantages. It also has some serious problems.
One of them – the apple that is spoiling the barrel – is a politically lazy middle class.
Like an alcoholic, all the lectures and stern warnings of their behaviour are falling on deaf ears. The alcoholic may have to go around checking the car for collision damage in the morning to work out how they managed to get home as drunk as they were.
Many don’t wake up at that point. They may wake up in the morning – in the gutter somewhere – covered in blood and shit, completely unaware of how they got there.
So what to do with the politically lazy middle class?
.1 Lectures aren’t working.
.2 Warnings aren’t working.
.3 A taste of tyranny isn’t working.
What’s next?
Decisions have consequences, and petty ignorance has a price.
The cure comes from the individual but the community pays for symptoms.
The gutter beckons.

Blow job based transmission?

Dunno Winston- many people are just fully occupied with work and family responsibilities. Best we can hope at this stage is UAP-PHON-LDP becoming an influential player in the Senate. Hope they pick some HoR seats too but it will be a bonus if they do. people are waking up but how many?

The interminable pauses for applause after each sentence caused me to drop off halfway through.
Woeful presentation. Typical of the generation – every thought gets a prize.

Am I missing something here or is your death less severe with the booster?

It’s a virtuous death, Fair Shake. Heroic. Whereas the recalcitrant unvaxxed are dying unvirtuously. Although on the latest NSW data remarkably few of them. That’s weird, given they’re class-enemies. Perhaps Albo could promise all vaxxed covid martyrs a medal called the Red Heart, with an extra oakleaf cluster for each booster.

After our regular mid-jan south coast camp, I’ve left the fam to strike off back to the farm… in the meantime, WA has turned even more to shit. Masks, local mega coles is empty of meat, rice, bananas and pasta.

On task governor gets on with the job:

Miyares has also vowed to investigate the state’s parole board over its alleged soft-on-crime policies, and has Loudoun County School board in his sights too. The school board has become America’s most infamous, initially for its hardline teaching of critical race theory-inspired ‘equity’ lessons about race, and then over a cover-up involving a 14 year-old boy in a skirt who sexually assaulted two different girls at two schools in the district.

The student was transferred to another school in the same district where he allegedly sexually assaulted another student and the district was accused of covering up the incident.

#TheLeftCannotOriginal

Firstborn has confessed he has not felt right since his first Pfizer jab and is still getting random chest pain which requires him to exert pressure on the spot to relieve it.
His GP reported it as an adverse event at the time, sent son for an ECG and ultrasound which showed nothing. No blood tests done. He is mid 40’s and was a pretty fit and healthy. He had the vax unwillingly and he has just not bounced back.
This offpring has history with a severe case of microscopic polyartritis nodosa from tetracycline in his 20s. His GP has simply told him not to bother with a booster but pressure is mounting yet again.
Long winded back story in order to ask the hive mind of the Cat…would it be helpful for him to consult a cardiologist for further investigation before boosting? Are there any such specialists who could give advice that wouldn’t necessarily end with following the political orders to get a booster? Am I being an interfering old bat or am I right to worry?
So many questions. Thanks for reading.

Now for something different. The AFR has a piece about burgers. There’s someone who swears dabbing peanut butter on a burger.

Elvis was apparently into bacon and peanut butter sandwiches in his latter years…

Not an interfering old anything, Megan. Just a very concerned mum. Just as I am with my adult son who has Pfizer vaxx-induced sinovitis in both wrists. No-one medical is going to attribute it to the vaxx even though it started a week after the vaxx and intensified dramatically for the next two months after that; he is still in pain and misery with it. He doesn’t have any history that would be contributory to an auto-immune arthritic condition either. They haven’t even taking any blood tests. He only got diagnosed with sinovitis because I pressured the doc to refer for an MRI and I paid the $600 odd bill for it. We live in a land where medical treatment is not given on merits but in shirking fear of running foul of GP instructions re the vaxxes.

With your son, a trip to a cardiologist would be advisable imho, make the GP refer on, and whatever blood tests you can persuade any docs to do. There is a strong history of cardiac problems with these vaxxes and there may be tests now that could offer some certainty.

Snap, Calli. You very short and to the point, me (as ever) less so. But both of us right.

Code Brown

I saw this being earnestly reported by the ABC as well. It’s news like this upon which a good tabloid sub-editor makes his bones. You could have all kinds of fun with it.

Imagine these bureaucrats being so out of touch and self-important that they don’t realise labelling an urgent situation as “Code Brown” is going to result in it being regarded with mirth. It’s probably beyond their comprehension that one of their edicts could be ridiculed. Well, I’m declaring a Code Yellow because it’s high time we take the piss out of these people and their Covid catastrophising.

Zerohedge just posted about a heap of posters put up around Washington, they are good, if I could find a local version I’d definitely be putting them up around our area. You could use Morrison, Albanese and all the premiers interchangeably.

Code Brown 25

This offpring has history with a severe case of microscopic polyartritis nodosa from tetracycline in his 20s. His GP has simply told him not to bother with a booster but pressure is mounting yet again.

My son had an horrendous amoxcillin allergy as a child and I am seriously allergic to penicillin (had injections as a teen which caused serious deep bruising). My mother too and my Big Sis have both had serious adverse reactions to medications in the past, so the suspicion is that there is some family susceptability to atopic reactions. His GP is unwilling to say yes or no to a booster. My son says no and I am with him on that.

I wouldn’t worry about any of them being harmed- Perf’s CBD is full of ‘characters’ that are probably not safe to approach anyway, even when the medication regime is being complied with.

As such, enforcement measures will be extremely limited, and only target relatively rich-looking folks picked with a highly accurate and specific algorithm (Pointing a finger at a random individual and saying I Wan’ That One!

Code Brown in most Aussie hospital-speak (as defined in AS 4083-2010 Planning for emergencies- Health care facilities)

Looks like the people who originally came up with those code designations had a sense of humour.

I am now able to feel my nose for the first time in six hours.
You really miss it when it’s not there. Lunch was soup, with no upper lip. Difficult.

If you’re a place that serves booze & you want some peaceful looking punters to leave, then all you have to do is stop serving them & tell them it’s time.

Yes- My farts were usually lethal enough to qualify for Code Brown CBRN…

‘Virus hunting unboosted’: Qld’s deadliest day with 16 Covid-19 deaths, 16k new cases.

Emergency use authorisation is not good enough.

Why should anyone not have the right to refuse this crap without being blackmailed.

A month ago, it was hunting unvaxxed.

I also unequivocally declare that this week of 39-odd degree days in Sandgroperstan can fuck right off.

10-odd hours of mucking about and to-ing and fro-ing with a freight train to unload, remarshal and dispatch in WA summer sunlight, has resulted in a lightly toasted Anger who somehow also finished his shift* soggier and saltier than an entire series of Captain Pugwash.

* We got the train away more or less on time, though. So that was a win.

Follow your motherly instincts.

Yes. Can’t be emphasised enough.

If I hadn’t I would have only two children.

Brain bleed pretending to be a headache.

Ive yet to find a cardiologist who knows that the vax are a cause of myo/pericarditis.

My GP does, we had an earnest conversation a few months ago now, in relation to my son who is severely intellectually disabled and the family history of heart problems. GP agreed that a few months before he would have dismissed my fears however he was concerned that the Fizzer vaccine was risky vis a vis consequent heart problems. So much so that he’d vacccinated his 19-year old son with the AstraZeneca. Hmmmmm

One – possibly two – of the three massage parlours that are Covid exposure sites are of the happy ending variety. I had a look at the website of the one in Osborne Park. Apparently their “young Asian girls will handle your every need with enthusiasm and grace”. They offer a “standard massage, but you can speak to our friendly and talented masseurs make sure you leave satisfied”. Oh, there’s also parking out front and at the rear, just in case for some reason you want to park your car behind the building so it can’t be seen from the street.

Anyway, it seems very few customers used the mandatory check-in register during the exposure period (no doubt there was a fair bit of exposure going on). Given that the nature of this establishment’s trade means many of its clients are likely to be discreet about their patronage of it, I wonder how many are willing to come forward and announce to the authorities that they enjoyed a totally above board rub-but-no-tug with an unhappy ending at the Comfort Massage on that particular day. I imagine the thought of trying to explain to the Mrs why you needed to self-isolate for 14 days might also make some decide it might be better to just keep quiet about the whole thing.

All in all, I think this could mean a lot of stymied contact tracers, and a lot of quiet community spread that won’t be detected until it’s far too late to do anything about it.

How do businesses monitor an employee’s compliance with the Covid regulations? An employee would have to show a vaxxine certificate to retain their employment, but how is this managed into the future?

The double vaxxes will now or soon be out of date and the employee therefore out of a job, do the HR departments have access to vaxxination records to monitor the employee’s compliance?

I imagine a HR Compliance Officer, a largish lady with boots and a peaked cap, walking around the office / factory asking for proof of vaxxination. I wonder if she carries a whip.

Bruce, the railway link into QNI has been ripped up, unconfirmed reports the company berth at the port has been given up as well. I believe all the underground water rights are still connected with QNI though. Got no time for Clive but any attempt he has made to get it going again has been stymied by the Queensland Gov & Townsville City Council. As soon as the Nickel price spiked he started moves to reopen, the biggest stumbling blocks was the workers entitlements which was eventually repaid.

That said Clive is still making money off the place by mining the tailings for Cobalt and processing elsewhere. I unfortunately think the plant is well past being restarted, last reports I heard were there was a Russian mob looking at the refinery but would have had FIRB issues. Shame as there is a few Cobalt exploration projects going on out near Greenvale, the plant apparently has the capacity to refine Cobalt.

And I also wonder, since Ireland, for example, isn’t going to have this visa waiver programme, if Australians can’t start there and wander on without the waiver.

Not going to help.
Ireland is a non-Schengen member of the EU. You can enter as a tourist on an Australian passport without a visa – but if you travel from there to one of the Schengen countries you will need a visa waiver at the border.

Lizzie. Don’t your attending ladies manage your diamonds and pearls?
