At 10.19 p.m. last night (20th of Sept.) on the Open Thread, twostix provided a link to footage of the recent fracas at CMFEU HQ in Melbourne, prior to the physical damage being done to the façade of the building. It was a brief, but very interesting audio-visual record. What piqued my interest, however, was…

30 facts you NEED to know: Your Covid Cribsheet. Here’s the list but go to the link to see the detail. Most of them you know already, but some you might not. The survival rate of “Covid” is over 99%.
