Obviously I’m not expecting people to lodge their tax returns here but… ouch!
Interesting move I have seen a lot of businesses do.
They close their shop front to reduce overheads, and then move to online only.
If commercial real estate is to survive, we need border control and zero COVID.
It’s really getting that bad.
No amount of bullying or mandating is going to work. Everyone that can work from home or independently… is.
Forcing only government F2F sector employees is not going to work. Not enough.
Looks like a very nasty collapse of certain sectors possibly. 🫣
When monkeypox starts to spread, and it will spread in Australia because US and UK have decided to go for minimal mitigations, we will be heading into another shadow lockdown.
Entirely predictable, unless we have some kind of border processes to stop local outbreaks.
The rest of it is going to turn up too… like TB.
The world is struggling to control all diseases, and we are wilfully importing them and have no community settings to mitigate the impacts.
This is not a good environment for business to thrive.

I’m actually a generally well liked person normally (🤭). Prior to the pandemic and even during most of it my 360 feedback forms often stated my strong points at work are being very likeable, a team player, pleasant.
This is mainly because I listen carefully to others and negotiate to find solutions that are mutually beneficial. I usually deliver criticism with a great deal of care. I use a sense of humour to get through tough times. I notice when others are doing it tough.
I think some experts think they can gaslight parents and guardians into thinking they were somehow one of a very small number whose kid got COVID-19 at school.
Nothing could be further from the truth. We live in a community. Information is shared.
WE ALL KNOW.
Plenty of parents are still buying the “mild” COVID-19 line, many still believe they are lucky to have gotten that over with, but nobody thinks COVID-19 isn’t spreading like wildfire. Nobody believes schools are a place COVID doesn’t spread.
People make up comforting stories to explain what is happening. They may explain away nagging symptoms, or tell themselves it was just a cold.
Most people aren’t actually entirely divorced from reality. (Close, but not quite.) They don’t actually think it can’t happen
I can’t believe there are still experts that think we are stupid enough to believe schools aren’t cesspits of disease at the moment.
The lived experience, the evidence of our own eyeballs, negated by a few clever tweets?
LOL.
Can you submit your Twitter threads to court in your own defence?
It really reads like
“Your honour, SARS-CoV-2 is one of the most highly transmissible viruses we have ever come across such that almost all kids were infected within weeks… except in schools.”
I’m expecting the decimation of routine healthcare (and possibly COVID-19 induced immunosuppression) to cause loss of control of the TB pandemic at some point over the next 10 yrs.
So I am guessing CDC and WHO will downgrade TB from airborne disease too. Maybe I should archive the information now, before all past wisdom is lost.
🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
By the way… when we lose control of the TB outbreak, we won’t know the true extent of it for quite some time… as healthy people can carry TB asymptomatically for decades…
but then again, whose going to have a healthy immune system consistently now?
