Now, Iâm a @MichaelBuble fan, all-year-round. âHomeâ being a favourite. However, I heard the âThe Christmas Sweaterâ song for the first time this year, and it reminded me of something. An Aussie classic youtu.be/QsEzk66T4PY

134 COVID deaths in Australia in last 7 days. 100 hospital wards full of COVID patients. Over 100,000 cases that we know about. Plus many thousands that werenât even reported. Our politicians & media donât even think itâs worth reporting. @CroakeyNews @abcnews Thanks @covidliveau

COVID is killing thousands of Australians who would have otherwise lived, likely to be 20-30,000 by year's end. This fig shows that, after saving lives in 2020 (another story), once this line crossed the zero in late 2021, we were in âexcessâ territory. 1/

The sun doesnât always shine, the wind doesnât always blow, and the rain doesnât always fall. We build dams to capture the rain. The @The_Nationals love dams, just build #energydams - the batteries to capture and store the solar and the wind power @auspol @QandA #qanda

Iâm down with COVID. Feeling pretty rubbish, tbh. Razor blade throat and painful cough. Clearly not the same for everyone. Canât imagine how it might have been - for me - without three doses of vax. Good on science. #winteriscoming

âDenial of the science of epidemiology is widespread, even among âexpertsâ. We are told repeatedly that SARS-CoV-2 will become âendemicâ. But it will never be endemic because it is an epidemic disease and always will be.â | Professor Raina MacIntyre satpa.pe/endemic4c4426
