The rich and powerful know that it's harmful to keep getting reinfected with COVID over and over. So they keep up to date with vaccines, wear masks, clean indoor air etc. But they don't tell anyone else to do it because they profit from creating the illusion that #COVID is over.

Biden in 2022: "The pandemic is over because no one's wearing masks"

Biden in 2023: "will be masking while indoors and around people"

The pandemic is not over. Leaders should tell people to take precautions (just as they are) to prevent potentially harmful #COVID reinfections.

Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children.

Pay all workers a living wage.

An Australian Holocaust: greenhouse gas emissions and mass deaths - Pearls and Irritations

Australian governments and mining firms are cold-bloodedly contemplating the needless deaths of 5.3 million human beings.

Starting a petition to make Fathers Day a long weekend.

So, interestingly Centene (A private US #healthcare provider) is pulling out of the UK, having failed to capitalise on owning both a chain of GPs & hospitals - both of which are now up for sale.

Apparently they were unable to 'incentivise' GPs to refer patients to Centene hospitals & found there was insufficient margin for profit in the business they were able to direct to their own network.

It seems the UK 'market' for healthcare may be a harder nut to crack that US firms realise.

Imagine long COVID like a never-ending series of software updates that keep making your phone glitchier.

Each new wave is like another update, but instead of fixing things, it’s adding more bugs.

Your battery life dropping fast, and every wave makes it worse.

So let me get this straight - under this #ToryCorruption enabling gov, if you're on #UniversalCredit and through no fault of your own were overpaid, you have to pay up to £5000 back, BUT if you're a #ToryPeer like #MichelleMone or other VIP donor, you can write-off a few BILLION with not a single penny recouped...

Did I get that right?

Bits of Sydney have no power thanks to the storm. I’m in one of them. Not fun, but a reminder if you are too: Check on neighbours, especially the infirm and elderly to see if they’re OK. Takes minutes, could save lives.
