Bern this sounds a lot to me like a classic panic attack.
Have seen a few over the years, symptoms describe a lot like you are but ecgs come out normal.
Even why they are on the machine and still experiencing symptoms and sensations.
Which is sort of the giveaway, if the ECG is good, TROP T test is fine and other bloods/vitals are all normal its sort of the default diagnosis.
This is not a slight on you, its just what some peoples bodies do when they are feeling stressed or “out of control” over a period of time.
Mention it to your GP as something worth trying to at least rule out.
I’m reluctant to share my story but here goes.
Get Zipster’s email from Dover and talk to him, or you’re welcome to also talk to me. What you are describing is similar to what I’ve been through, although what led up to it is different. But there are likely things you can do to give yourself better odds until you can access treatment. Whatever you do, do not ignore what your body is telling you. Do not do that, and do not assume it can’t get worse faster than you think.
Sorry to read that, FTB. Oldest son has endured similar, with equally similar responses from the medical profession. Has subsequently refused to be boosted.

Demanding that people meet impossible standards of proof is a sign of a weak argument.
There is plenty of evidence that the cheap, mass produced muzzles that most people wore (and some are still wearing) have holes that are way too big to stop tiny viruses. OTOH, wearing them for long periods is a great way to accumulate bacteria and restrict healthy breathing. This is particularly concerning when germ factory kids are involved. You don’t think their grubby little fingers get on and inside the masks?
The mask thing was theatre, and there is no evidence that places that enforced masks had lower rates of serious COVID than those that didn’t, other things being roughly equal.
Yep. Criminally, it has been unavailable in this country in tablet form for human use. Husband and I have applied a calculated measure of the Ivermectin “pour-on” that we use for externally drenching our cows. With cattle, it is only active for 30 days. Husband got a very, very mild bout of Covid a month or two ago & I didn’t contract it at all. Who knows?
BTW we have been taking the recommended supplements & an anti-histamine (plus daily blender mix of fruit & veges together with probiotic) since Covid first appeared here.

A group of 45 asylum seekers has been flown back to Sri Lanka after they unsuccessfully attempted to reach Australia by boat.
Residents of Christmas Island reportedly said that the group of would-be asylum seekers were brought ashore early Thursday morning by officials they said appeared to be attached to Operation Sovereign Borders.
According to reports in The Australian, the individuals were taken to a waiting Skytraders Airbus charter flight and sent to Sri Lanka.
The Department of Home Affairs and Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil have been approached for further details including information about whether the group in question managed to reach Australian waters.
The opposition said that the incident showed that people smugglers would seek to restart their trade with the arrival of a Labor government.

Did the Morrison government try to suppress voting in the Northern Territory?
Anthony Albanese claims low voter turnout due to Coalition tactics ‘straight out of the right-wing Republican playbook’. Is this true?
What was the claim?
Asked about low voter turnout in new Labor MP Marion Scrymgour’s seat, Albanese said:
It’s not rocket science to know what happened here. They ripped resources out of the electoral commission. There was a deliberate policy of the former government to restrict people voting in the territory. They tried to abolish the seat and we fought very hard to get two seats in the territory. They restricted the numbers of people who were working for the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) to get people on the roll.
It was an outrage what occurred and then there was a lack of resources to enable people to vote. We have one vote, one value in this country. It’s an important principle of our democracy and the fact that 66% of people voted, it means that one in three people in the electorate of Lingiari didn’t get to vote. That was a part of the former government’s design. It wasn’t by accident and they should be held to account for it.”
Albanese promised to review enrolment in conjunction with the Australian Electoral Commission.*
…..
“They tried to abolish the seat” is not true. An NT seat was to be automatically abolished under legislation because NT fell below entitlement. The previous government fairly quickly agreed with Labor’s push to reinstate it. Had the government done nothing it would have gone. https://t.co/xIzuBLP2P5
— Kevin Bonham (@kevinbonham) June 8, 2022
….
Did they restrict voting?
In October 2021, the Coalition introduced a bill to require the electoral commission to ask voters for identification.
Although it contained some safeguards, such as allowing another enrolled voter with ID to attest to their identity or the voter to cast a declaration vote, the bill was criticised for its likely negative effect on turnout and Indigenous participation.**
….
Verdict
While some criticism of the Coalition’s attempted voter ID bill is justified***, Albanese’s comments fly in the face of rising Indigenous enrolment rates and bipartisan support to restore the NT’s two lower house seats.
While its true voter turnout is falling in Lingiari, this may be linked to higher enrolment. The independent AEC will review Indigenous participation in the election.

European Union upholds proposed 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel cars
Representatives from the European Union have rejected pressure from the auto industry and voted to uphold a proposed ban on new internal-combustion engine (ICE) cars from 2035.
An amendment had been presented to the European Parliament which would have required manufacturers to have reduced new-car emissions by 90 per cent by 2035, according to Automotive News Europe, rather than the full 100 per cent originally proposed by the European Commission in 2021.
However, the 100 per cent target was upheld. While the ban has yet to be written into law, many European carmakers have already indicated their intentions to drop ICE vehicles by 2030 or sooner.

UAP and PHON stood this time and got nearly 10% between them, ie up from 0%. In other words mk 1 neanderthal voters were pretty pissed off with both major parties. Not surprisingly Labor, who’ve held the seat forever, got hit worse once there were some third-party candidates on the ballot. Methinks Albo doth protest too much.

…..in certain circumstances masks may have worked.
And I think that’s it. Sometimes they probably had some effectiveness and at other times, were as effective as an ashtray on a motorbike. It would depend on the prevailing conditions, the type of mask, the ‘newness’ of the mask and for cloth masks, whether it had been washed (which stretched the weave on cloth masks).
I recall reading some time ago that cloth masks, which had surged in popularity, usually had a weave equivalent of ~10 microns and if the mask was repeatedly washed, the weave stretched. Given that the covid bug is ~.1-.2 microns, the cloth mask was virtually useless in almost any situation.
Surgical masks have a weave rating of around 1-2 microns and are, apparently, supposed to be worn for no more than about 4 hours before being discarded and a new one used. How many people actually did this do you suppose? I know people who used the same mask for days/weeks before they finally threw it in the bin.
The N95 mask has a rating of about .3 microns which more or less matches the size of the covid bug allowing that it rides on an exhaled water droplet. But again, the N95 had a life of just a few hours before it is due to be discarded or the filter replaced.
Allowing for the differences in masks, we also have to consider the ventilation and a raft of other conditions – it seems impossible to say that masks do/do not work as there are too many variables. I imagine it could be proved either way subject to the mask type, its condition and the circumstances. But having said that, I have little trouble believing that some people may end up suffering some ailment because they didn’t replace their mask often enough and were re-breathing (God knows what) for hours on end, day after day and in some cases, week after week.

While the ban has yet to be written into law, many European carmakers have already indicated their intentions to drop ICE vehicles by 2030 or sooner.
Yep. Back in early 2019 I wrote my first post about the demise of ICE passenger vehicles and the inevitable rise of electric cars. I followed that up with another post in mid 2021 that detailed further steps being taken to outlaw ICE vehicles and the vast sums the manufacturers were spending on ‘zero emission’ passenger vehicles. Since then, hydrogen powered cars (and boats, planes, trucks) have also taken huge developmental steps.
Back in 2021 I wrote that: Labor Party policy is that EVs will constitute 50% of all new vehicle sales by 2030. Whilst this is only a policy at present, it indicates ALP policy direction. Labor policy is to eliminate the 5% import tariff on electric vehicles and Fringe Benefits Tax on electric cars from 1 July 2022.
Beyond that, Labor is also going to spend $500 million of our tax dollars on a network of thousands of EV charging stations plus $80 million on a hydrogen refuelling network.
Based on the manufacturing phase-out of ICE vehicles planned by car manufacturers overseas and the proposed or existing reinforcing legislation in every country that matters, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to buy a new ICE car in Australia by 2035.

The Fascist gnome McClown did the same thing in Sandgroperstan last December. I haven’t been back since. I wrote to the Emergency Services Commissioner and told him that he’s just lost a 20-year veteran. He eventually wrote back and faffed on with predictable sludge about duty to protect the community and fellow-firefighters.
Apparently it was OK for me to spend a week fighting a fire in December, but too dangerous for me to even attend the fire station in January.
Today I received an email that the directive has been quietly reversed as of next week. Next Thursday it will be too dangerous for me to go the fire station. On Friday, it won’t be.
I won’t be going back.

Moot point. Your shrieking is not to be confused with truth.
Bern is in an unpleasant situation, but you can’t wait to dance on his grave – it won’t hurt him enough. As far as you are concerned it is all about you, and how clever you are.
Look, I don’t usually read your posts – time consuming and pointless. Full of bluster, and spittle, absurdities, and delirium. You seem to have this conceit lodged in your brain that you are the great prophet – the leader to wipe away the enemy that only you have the vision to see. But only you have the vision, and if you want to be saved there is only one way. Your way.
A messianic complex – if Jesus was a jerk. Actually, for lack of any humanity, you are surely more like Mohammad.
You had a site, a veritable furniture store, where you could rave to your heart’s content and in all your dottiness. And what did you divine from the fact that people weren’t interested enough to go there? That you should insert yourself somewhere with a real community and try to make it about you. Pathological.
But now I must be blunt. Blunt as to the reason I have not read your posts or been struck dumb by your commentary: You are just not that bright. Not thatl subtle. Not that knowledgeable. Not at all capable of measured thought. Unable to insert in your mental plodding the possibility that you might be wrong, that you might have limits. Only stupid people are blind like that. And you hate. You are so angry with everyone who does not fall at your feet begging to be saved. You have no compassion. No empathy. And no understanding of people.
You have the idiots ego.
Simply, the person you are does not measure up in any way to the hype on the packet, and the hype thinks it is the product.
So after the appalling kicking of bern for the unforgivable sin of not doing things exactly as you say, you really ought to fornicate off. You won’t. You can’t. You’re broken. I know I have invited a further pillaging of Dover’s pixels. But you ought.
This will really do your head in, or would if you could read it. You will doubtless respond with renewed accusations of cowardice, corruption, desperation, delusion, and duplicity, but here it goes: Type your heart out. I really do not care. I do not take it to heart. I think you are a joke.

Finally at 9:20am they surfaced, only to be bombed by a Sunderland and shelled by Stuart. Amazingly all except two of the Italians were then rescued, so we have their report of the fight.

The sheer scale required for charging stations is phenomenal.
To quickly recharge a car battery, you need massive amounts of EMF to drawn on. They will need huge capacitors etc. The ratings on the electrical network of a charging site would be higher than what is in many factories. The batteries and capacitors onsite will have limited lifespan.
If we had nuke, we’d have a cheap supply of virtually uninterruptible power.
Cheap electricity can be used to make direct alternatives to diesel such as diethyl ether (actual “ether”), directly from atmospheric CO2 and water. Storage tanks do not degrade like chemical batteries.
Time for a trade in on the Q5 and purchase of a new ICE car now. Before the Germans go completely overboard on electric cars, because we do like German engineering, but ICE for me for as long as possible. Don’t want another Audi. We’ve had too many problems with them, to do with the computing
set ups. Hairy is more tolerant of electric, would take a hybrid, but I am concerned about fire.

I’ll go along with that.
This bunch pay their bills, promptly.
They’re a stand out among my larger clients, coz prompt payers.
For contrast I deal with two Victorian outfits, neither pay promptly, one in particular are very slow payers, taking up to Six months to pay.
Furthermore, the West Australian escorts are much nicer & far more capable than the cranky boilers the Victorians send along.

I bought a stack of meat a month ago and have been slowly working my way through it.
2 Brisket thingies. My God! I made it in a slow cooker for 24 hours, and the fat was about 1″ thick. Put it in the fridge to help remove it and next day recooked the 2 kilos. Left it overnight again, and still about 1/2 inch of fat released.
Tried it and I need to drink a mug of detergent to get the taste out.
…and people built a nation on this food?
I’ll just chop the other two kilos up and render it down for the cooking fat, I think. And give the meat to next doors dogs.

Mmm…brisket.
Needs to be properly rubbed with spices before cooking and served up with a heavyish BBQ sauce though.
In Chinese cuisine there’s also a spicy brisket hot pot which is tdf.
Universal mediocrity! you will be nothing and a nobody and you will be blissfully unaware.
Brisket is meant to be in a well cooked stew.
Meat without fat is sacrilege .
The Coalition government owns this energy crisis as much as Labor. Labor will soon own it and won’t be able to deflect it to the Morrison government however they’ll milk it for as long as possible and, quite honestly, why shouldn’t they. However, I find it disingenuous of the Liberals and Nationals to lecture Labor about energy when, despite being in power for almost nine years, the Coalition….
1. did fuck all to temper and curb the war on coal.
2. did fuck all to temper and curb the war on gas.
3. did fuck all to deal with climate change indoctrination in schools, they never ran any decent arguments to temper and curb climate change hysteria.
4. did fuck all to squash Turdbull’s absurd Snowy 2.0.
5. did fuck all to argue the case for nuclear energy. In fact the Liberals and Nationals when in government ran, like the scaredy-cats they are, from any argument for nuclear power and yet now, less than three weeks since they lost an election, they have the chutzpah to talk about nuclear however, well they’ve left that too late, haven’t they? They should have and could have gone to the May election asking for a mandate for nuclear power.
In other words, the Liberals and Nationals should shut the fuck up about energy for some months and let Labor slowly dig its energy grave.
Pardon the language.

Let’s not place limitations on the power of the brisket.
In a stew or hot pot, plated up sliced & sauced with home made coleslaw and potato salad, pulled on a hamburger or in a taco, it’s a very economical & versatile cut.

It went well but they’ve been slack, could be much closer to filing than we are, need to get to market ASAP!
Just bring on the fvcking referendum, the sooner the better.
Survival types apparently turn the fat into pemmican, which is very nutritious, tastes revolting and can keep you alive forever (or perhaps it only seems like forever).
Thinking it through, I’m amazed at how diabolically devious I (supposedly) am. Apparently, I mocked myself, argued with myself and tried to dox myself.
How brilliant is that?

Monkeypox Can Be Airborne, Too
An abrupt change in C.D.C. guidance underscores a little-known phenomenon: On occasion, monkeypox can be transmitted through aerosols, similar to the coronavirus.
Rosie – Who do I believe: my lying eyes or Google? Also the steam tables, relative vs absolute humidity, rate kinetics, SI units and 40 years of doing this stuff.
Sorry to be irritable, but if you look at the link, which I will repeat below for convenience, you will see what masks do. I had said almost exactly this several times on this and the previous Cat based on first principles of chemistry. Masks are a helpful catcher to store then release infectious virus particles into your throat and lungs. The same goes in the opposite direction. That’s not necessarily true of bacteria because they are big enough to be retained by the mask porosity in their own right.

What occasion? It’s supposed to be transmitted by sexual practices.
Perhaps if someone plays the pink oboe they can then breathe out the virus?

2022.06.08 What Russia Has To Do After Russia Wins
Eva Vlaardingerbroek discusses the rise in sudden adult death syndrome with Mark Steyn
I am almost certain that at various critical points along the journey towards this brilliant utopia, reality will inconveniently insert its ugly self and derail the EV train spectacularly. There is an exceedingly high probability that it will happen more than once.
I am excited to see the idiots who are flying this spectacularly cockeyed, pie in the sky, electric paradise kite own the entire debacle – lock, stock and empty oil barrel. They will be ruling over the chaos that inevitably results when you interfere too deeply in complex, nested systems.
Good luck, numpties. You’re going to need it.
“Cassie is not Stephanie.
Both are gems though.”
Thank you OSC, much appreciated.
“C.D.C. removed the mask recommendation from the monkeypox travel health notice because it caused confusion,” the agency said in a statement on Tuesday.
The turnabout hints at a little-discussed aspect of the current monkeypox outbreak: The virus can be airborne, at least over short distances. While airborne transmission is only a small factor in the overall spread, experts said in interviews, there are no firm estimates regarding how much it contributes.
Since May 13, when the first case in the outbreak was reported, more than a thousand people in 31 countries have been diagnosed with the virus, and at least another thousand cases are being investigated.
…
“It’s very ambiguous what the true or dominant route of transmission is, and some of that can be addressed in animal models,” Nancy Sullivan, a researcher at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said at the conference. “Probably that needs to take a front seat for some of the laboratory research.”
But in briefings with the press and with the general public, health officials have not explicitly addressed the possibility of airborne transmission or the use of masks for protection.
And in interviews, they emphasized the role of large respiratory droplets that are expelled from infected patients and drift onto objects or people. Monkeypox infection requires “really close sustained contact,” said Andrea McCollum, the C.D.C.’s leading expert on the virus.
“This is not a virus that was transmitted over several meters,” she said. “That’s why we have to be really careful how to frame this.”
…
The C.D.C.’s swift about-face on masks for travelers concerned about monkeypox was reminiscent of its early denials that the coronavirus was airborne. In September 2020, the agency published guidance on airborne transmission of the virus and then abruptly withdrew it just days later.
It was not until May 2021 that the agency acknowledged that the coronavirus could “remain suspended in the air for minutes to hours.”
Hohohoho.
Pat Dodson wandering the countryside spruiking Uluru bullshit on the taxpayer’s credit card reckons the corporates are all on board because a few luvvies clapped Albo’s speech.
The more hard headed executives of Australia’s majors are past masters at making smoke and mirrors statements about all these “woke” programs, but if any of the bulldust threatens their bottom line they will cut your throat quicker than look at you.
Dodson is fantasist and a fool, living in a fool’s paradise (on a very nice salary, thank you very much).
so many mysteries!
You’ve probably heard the story, but, way back when, the Dodson brothers tried to intervene in a land rights dispute. The local elders told them they weren’t part of their tribe, and threatened them with tribal punishment if they didn’t mind their own business.

The way the electricity wholesale price is going driven by renewables I think nuclear power would rake in dosh like there’s no tomorrow. Easily justifiable even with our stupid overregulation. But Katherine probably believes high electricity prices are due to some mythical reason which hid during the time coal and hydro were our only sources only to now suddenly manifested itself amazingly. I wonder what it could be?
at the rate it is spreading it is fairly obvious there is an aerosol component

By sun-up the sub’s air purifiers were cactus and she was running 3 atmospheres of pressure due to water leaks. Yikes!
Lucky they didn’t resort to using the pure oxygen in their escape breathing apparatus (if they had such). They would all have died. Oxygen becomes poisonous above two atmospheres of pressure.
Daily Mail. WTF?
Make of this what you like. My take is that LNP fucked up thinking that nobody would notice firstly.

America between 1939 & 1942 where Charles Lindbergh defeats FDR for the Presidency and signs a non aggression pact with Nazi Germany and NO Pearl Harbour takes place ..
Follows a Jewish family in New Jersey as America begins to adopt the same attitude to Jews as the Nazis ..

From what I seen every single case in Australia is from patrons of certain establishments or who’ve arrived back from interesting tourist destinations. The number of airborne infections looks empirically to be roughly nil point nil. The number of deaths has been nil point nil also, at least in Australia.
A thousand people in thirty one countries is not exactly fast. It does however fit quite well with that particular demographic and lifestyle.
Which CDC, being inveterately lefty, doesn’t really want to talk about much.
There’s a limit how much voom you can get out of a hyped threat. They’re putting in amazing effort to make this one run and it just ain’t vooming.
the same can’t be said about europe
the Morrison Government instead forced Australia’s trucking industry to make up the difference.
I came across this story before the election on a O/S news site but because I saw no mention anywhere in Oz online media I thought it was just an election stir tactic .. the main thrust was the possibility of lotza the smaller trucking operations either going to the wall or being seriously impacted due to the increased fuel bill …..
Cowardly Cineworld Caves In To Muslim Mob Over Film About Muhammad’s Daughter. Politicians Silent
The New Culture Forum
NCF Director Peter Whittle condemns Cineworld’s decision to stop showing the film “Lady of Heaven” after hundreds of Muslim protestors picketed its cinemas. The lack of condemnation from politicians and artists reveals just how scared our elites have become of causing offence — and how easy it is to censor and eliminate free speech.
Calling for a boycott of Cineworld, he says that our cultural values are being eroded with absolutely no resistance from our leaders. It is more important than ever that we make our voices heard. No one has the right not to be offended. There is no blasphemy law in Britain. Our values are sacred and will not be subverted.
Masks never worked and this was known from the start. Fauci himself said so, until he said they were essential. Now he admit that their purpose was purely to maintain authority.
The effect of masks has now been conclusively shown to the negative, something that doesn’t surprise me in the least. My objection from the start, however, was mandating them (or any other health procedure). It is one thing to recommend something, right or wrong, and quite another to threaten and force people into compliance. That is unforgiveable. And in my opinion that is the just the tip of the damage iceberg.
Again, some facts.

Don’t stress about it.
All this talk of abandoning ICE cars by 2025 – 2026 is virtue signalling and also designed to stampede people into higher margin EVs.
It won’t happen in that time frame.
Thirty or so cases per country?
It’s a wonder there aren’t lots more because of the lifestyle. And the movement to and from Africa is much more in Europe than here.
Nope, I’m not buying it as air-transmissable. Contact makes sense, airborne doesn’t.
On the other hand these alarmists so want another pandemic, especially in time for the mid terms. And the money made from Covid has been beyond stratospheric.
So how did he get the gun and other stuff through security at the airport?
Or did the FBI give them to him after he’d landed?
This story stinks like a dead wombat lying by the road for a week.
Twiggy spends more on his morning tea than he does on “free” houses for indig wukkas.
Also, a little pandering to the elders never hurt the bottom line.
