From today's TheAge:

"NSW fared better than every other jurisdiction, with its total deaths to September 2023 up “only” 6.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2019. In Victoria, they were up by 13.1 per cent, in Queensland by 15.4 per cent, in Western Australia by 16.1 per cent, and in the ACT they rose by a whopping 23.6 per cent.

Part of this is COVID-related. Our fear of the virus that first set in during 2020 has given way to an ignorance-is-bliss attitude towards its impact on Australians, but it is still killing people."

The long hair was never intended, I just wanted to celebrate the end of the pandemic with an all out day at my fav hairdresser (Harry Huth in Berlin 🫶) but [gestures helplessly].

A reminder that if you have no idea what extended friends and family have been up to lately, a mask in a casual indoor holiday setting might be a smart idea.

This comes from an SFFH writer who doesn't write H because she lives it.

Like, 13 different sources! Most doctors didn't know it all existed until fifty years ago, and thought it could be cured with ten days of antibiotics. 😂 🤣

Ah, no. Not for everyone.

Hence my extreme caution with "novel coronaviruses."

still annoyed that the bay area anarchist bookfair doesn't have masks required for the entire event. Masks protect us all.

And I thought it was rough that my brother (MD) and a niece and her husband have #COVID19 (from unrelated exposures). #stillapandemic

@Billius27 “the lowest report since October.”

…but still more than 5X higher than pre-pandemic levels (!)

Got my new "breathe2" #respirator from #Canadian company Prescientx. Superb fit/seal & breathability, & filters are designed to be long-lasting. Comes w ear straps, ear saver clip & head straps. I've seen people decorate them by painting the frame or adding an additional piece of fabric in front of the filter. Finally might travel a bit, or at least get out to some shows. 🎸 & yes, my hair has blue highlights, but my phone edits them out - fixed it (badly) in post. 😁 #StillAPandemic #DontGetCovid

Science says we are not out of the woods yet. So does Nature.

There’s no room for COVID complacency in 2023

Stark scenes from China show the pandemic is far from over. One solution is a laser-like focus on strengthening public-health systems.

How does Covid end? By accepting and acting on the science, even when we wish the facts were otherwise.
