My lovely husband reminded me this morning that we're coming up our 40th anniversary. Goodness! 40 years!

Horrid day weather-wise today. Bushfire to one side of us in the morning. Now another one on other side. And one of our dogs decided it was a good time to go missing while hubs has to see to things in case fire isn't controlled quickly. Bring on tomorrow's cool weather change soon, please!

Briefly unmasked, close range specialist appointment today for hubs. CO2 hovering around 1200 with no open window or filtration. Prior to appointment, requested dr wear an n95/P2 (and followed up to remind), but got a gappy blue mask. Wish us luck as we wait to see if anything viral came home.

If you were going to share links or resources about airborne transmission with a (maybe??) semi-receptive medical practice manager (Aust), what would you include on your list? There's the Aust Academy Sci statement (I wish there were more maskers in that cohort, but I digress). Anything from .../1

Random question. Has anybody used these IKEA glass bottles? www.ikea.com/au/en/p/kork... Do you know if they they have a similar pouring hole/lid size as a 600ml plastic bottles of bottle? Looking for a non-plastic alternative for poddy lamb feeding that would fit the teats I have. TIA :-)

Any jam makers here? Made my beautiful batch of cherry jam, it set, put it in its jars and ... ...realised I forgot to add the lemon juice. (But I did add the lemon rind, sugar and cherries (obvs). Gah! (My brain!) I know lemons have preserving qualities. Will my jam spoil? What are my options?

Kids will have very tough questions for the adults in their lives when they grow up and realize they were subjected to repeat Covid infections so we could rush “back to normal”. These kids will live with chronic illness the rest of their lives because society refused to adapt.

Congratulate me. I braved local IGA on the eve of Christmas Eve in my cute-as-a-button Zimi Chrissy mask. And yes, it was ridiculously busy. But in good news, I found a a decent sized cauliflower (my goal) that didn't cost a kidney, & sugar & lemons to make jam from cherries our neighbour gave us.

The obligation to enforce minimum standards of ethical conduct is a condition of the privilege of self-regulation for the medical profession. While the impunity and special treatment accorded senior physicians has made us all cynical, it's worth reading this to see what we have a right to expect.

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic... 1. Seasonal viruses may be "normal", but they do immense harm.

Latest questionable response to upcoming social media ban. Local school had a day where they held activities to 'prepare for the social media ban'. They encouraged Yr 7s to get ready by all swapping their phone numbers.(Hmm... Consent?) Anywho, I'm sure that will stop the bullying in it's tracks.

1/ Learning loss didn’t come from “lockdowns” or remote instruction. It COMES FROM (still happening) illness. Illness caused by COVID. Illness that makes kids miss school and teachers miss teaching. SICK DAYS. And the vascular damage that causes incapacity to think & retain. This is still happening.

Learning thru trauma is of course also very difficult. But unfortunately, we’re still a long ways away from most people accepting the neurological (& other) effects of repeated infections on children—effects that’ll continue til we make changes 2 stop or curb the new infections that occur everyday.

There are numerous reasons to mask up to prevent COVID.
