What happens when musicians with cognitive decline from repeated SARSCOV2 infections forget how to play their instruments? Singers forget their lyrics? AI writes and performs is what happens..the end of live music is in sight

Watch popular music deteriorate as singer songwriters suffer long term cognitive decline from repeat SARSCOV2 infections..AI will take over writing shitty pieces of music and audiences will no longer know the difference owing to their repeat sars2 infections..I give it 2 yrs max,a singer songwriter

I'm introducing some up time in my SARSCOV2 cautious life,the building also has umpteen whirlybirds on the roof so between them and my filters I should be able to create a safe space..I'm a singer songwriter and I'm over feeling like a part of me has been removed without anaesthetic sooo...

To cheer myself up I played and sang Cohen's original Hallelujah,not Jeff Beck's or Rufus Wainwright,just his original..then Johnny Cashs' version of Hurt..I've come up with the bright idea of renting our local CWA hall 3hrs on a Saturday Arvo to play everything on my street amp and microphone /1

My priority is to stop Dutton. I'm in Wannon, a once Vic Lib safe seat. Labor will never get elected here, but Independent Alex Dyson may get over the line. I'll put him, No. 1 & the Libs last. Every seat the Libs lose, the harder it will be for them to win

The next Omicron type mutation in SARSCOV2 will kill and disable millions with its first infection..owing to its destruction of billions of human immune systems..in concert with TB, Typhoid,Smallpox, bacterial Pneumonia, Viral pneumonia,weaponised Measles, Mumps and Polio..and Malaria

One last note on my GPs' decision to drop masking to see how long it takes to get infected as his mask is not good for him makes me seriously doubt he's read much of the long term damage just one high viral load infection may very well cause him,my long term masking has done me no harm at all

We SARSCOV2 cautious especially we disabled have to self advocate for safe procedures to protect ourselves from the almost inevitable nosocomial infections,to stay out of hospitals at almost ANY cost..10.6 mortality rate is a risk I WILL NOT Take..and as he said, there's a lot of sars2 around..end

My previously C Cautious masked GP told me he would mask for me as I have COPD but would no longer for other patients or IRL as " I've been wearing a mask for 3 yrs and it's not good for me,I want to see how long before I get it then I'll reassess,it is what it is" I'm sad,wished him luck../1

By then it will be at least two mutations behind whatever is circulating. JN1 is already one version behind what is being vaxxed against in Europe and the US. But Novax seems to offer broader cross variant protection anyway so I’ll take it over Pfizer

we might be starting to talk more about how long covid is decimating people’s health, ability to work and exercise etc. but there’s almost no discussion in mainstream media about how it’s affecting relationships. tldr: it’s ripping them apart www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12...

'This is the end of the relationship': The marriages under strain from long COVID

Long COVID is not just destroying people's health. Behind closed doors, in homes across Australia and abroad, it is irreversibly changing relationships — sometimes for the better, too often for worse.
