Ironic bug in the captions. Yes, I did turn it off and on again.

journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... Interesting study of a new mask that uses UVC to kill 99.9% of pathogens rather than fine filters. Needs some further refinement but the main points are that the UVC really works and they are much more comfortable than N95s.

Looks like it's not just flat, it's fried!

It looks like Google ads are responding to today's editorial content.

My followers with an engineering background will know what a knife switch looks like. This is what ChatGPT offered when I asked for a picture of one. Now I want one!

This was a popular place for cicadas to shed their shells at my place.

NSW District Court Justice Russell today found Qantas guilty of discriminating against a work health and safety representative who told co-workers not to clean planes from China the day after Australia closed its borders to such arrivals. Full decision: caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/18b...

NSW Health today lost its argument that they don't need to to provide information if it is held in a database containing extraneous data which is private or irrelevant, claiming that to do so would involve creating a new document. tinyurl.com/2vnbtx58

This is current guidance for hospitals in a NSW local health district. Staff can return to work 3 days after a positive COVID test. This is probably when they are most infectious. And not even required to mask... because the pandemic's apparently over, minimising transmission is no longer required.

Proof that it's worth complaining about poor air quality. Same theatre on two occasions. I complained after the first visit and the owner undertook to have the HVAC checked. It is obvious that the system has an adjustable CO2 setpoint (a bit high still) but was not operating the first time.

Both my State and Federal Health Ministers refused to tell me what C19 vaccines are on order to meet Australia's vaccine-only policy. Now the Health dept has rejected my FOI request. I will appeal this but that could take months or even years. /2

Covid Safe Schools Inc recently obtained figures on Queensland hospital acquired COVID-19. As at June 2023 about 1 death each day from COVID caught in hospital (and rising). How is removal of infection controls justified?

This study seems doi.org/10.1080/2374... well constructed and my take-away is that good ventilation can reduce risk by 80% and good masks are similar. I'd be interested to know whether you agree with my interpretation.

Australia's reputation is being trashed, being made worse by misrepresentations like this.
