We have had closed interstate borders (only full 100% legit reasons to cross borders) pretty much the whole time.. interstate borders will re open I believe just before Xmas.. Which means The 2 worst states, NSW and Victoria will flood the other states no doubt we will see infections rise and our "toll" increase from the current 4 people in total..
The damn anti vaxxers still protesting, and big surprise a whole bunch of them have been hospitalised. Doesn't take a genius. I personally have 3 people in my life (not physically close no way!) who are full anti vaxxers- they flood my Messenger with their "facts" etc.. I have told all 3 "I really hope you and your family/grandchildren don't catch it..something to think about".. No response from them.. 2 of them are full Trump supporters, I kindly reminded them they are Australian and live here, worry more about Australian politics

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Causality had not deleted his account this time. We request that if users need a break from the forum, they just take a break, rather than deleting their accounts and re-registering. In any case, I'm hoping that both @causality and number13 are well and just needed some time away. Thanks Ela, yes just needed time away got very mentally exhausted but now on the mend and NOT locked up in a padded cell yet Now playing catch up with my audios and all the posts i have missed❤️ Good to see you back.

If they ain't double jabbed they shouldn't be allowed in.

So yesterday it was announced here the 2 biggest grocery shopping companies that are worth Many Many Millions and have a monopoly here - have introduced mandatory vaxx for all employees- I was just told by someone reading the news that 2 of the "Big 4" Banks here who are worth multiple Billions each have literally just now introduced the same.. It's about protecting their brand and to try and keep Insurance Premiums down.. I have been paying for my own private health insurance for 28 years now, I fully expect to receive some sort of notice from them saying something along the lines of "changes" etc etc.

EDIT: Context--spent four hours making empanadas. Got to eat half one one before I was bludgeoned to death by a rogue bus. Metaphorically, of course.
EDIT2: I'll be disappointed in the profanity filter doesn't change I need to stop swearing to fiddlesticking.
EDIT3: I am disappointed.
EDIT4: wait, Im actually confused. It doesn't seem to be a simple filter....

All this arguing on social media with idiots, the dark and cold weather and the stress at work take their toll. Slipped into the first of my typical winter-time gloomy periods. Tried to battle this today by treating myself to a nice long sauna/ spa afternoon. But still feeling pretty down, and when I not feel well, I am also pretty grumpy... so please excuse if I am overly critical of any audio releases. I also have not so good news from my sisters husband and my brother. They have massive stress at work. And sadly, they try to be the big strong men and show how tough they are and all the stuff they can manage. They are in not a good way. I would say, from personal experience, a burn out event is likely in the forseeable future. I tried to talk about it and tried to give advice. And although it is not a total taboo anymore, and thinks can be mentioned now, it is still uncomfortable to talk about it, change the subject, and "all will be fine, thanks for the advice". I feel pretty helpless. And worried. This is another reason why my mood was dragged down so much. Sigh. Nothing more I can do, really. Mental illness is weakness and talking about it is crazy. Yeah right. Because ignoring the elephant in the room has helped out soooo many people and everybody is doing just fine.

I am sooooo tired of humanity. The vaccination numbers in Germany stagnate at 67% and this is way too low for herd immunity. They are now discussing mandatory vaccinations for certain groups (especially health workers). The Antivaxxers are protesting. COVID numbers are sky-rocketing and are now higher than ever before. In the cities, like Munich, they have only around 20 intensive care beds left. The other day, 12 people at a rest home died because the carers were against mandatory vaccinations and the old people had a weak immune system, so the vaccination did not take hold completely and the infectious pressure overwhelmed them. The antivaxxers called this an "unfortunate event". Probably it was better that way, because these were old and weak people and this is proof that vaccinations do not work anyway and they would have died anyway. (Sarcasm). Yesterday, we had a COVID outbreak at work. Most of us are vaccinated (although we also have antivaxxers here......), but now of course we are all afraid to carry it home to our families. Yes, vaccination protects against disease (in most cases in healthy adults), but there is still a 5-10% chance of infection and of carrying the virus on without knowing. My dad has his birthday party on Sunday, and I am now trying to figure out if I should risk coming or not. We still have unvaccinated kids (nieces and nephews and my sister in law who is nursing). This just sucks. I have lost all patience with the protesters and antivaxxers. At the same time, some "friends" on Facebook are very busy posting their "Truths". One of them is very vocal and active in the NZ COVID protesting scene... Apparently, the NZ government is fascist and is now out to enslave the population and will cancel Christmas. After all, everybody has the human right to die at Christmas if they so please!
I know, I should not have done that, but I am just soooo over it and so I started another arguement with her on Facebook. (she told me she refuses to un-friend me because I will see the "light" eventually.... yeah, right) Yeah, good plan. Great for my peace of mind and a relaxing weekend. I should just keep away from Facebook, unless I might cause it to implode one of these days.
As it turns out, I seem to not know what I am talking about and NZ is different.
Okay, well, you learn something new every day. So Kiwis have some kind of immunity other humans do not have, so COVID will not affect NZ as bad as everyone else on this planet. And the vaccination is way worse anyways, because around 30 people have died after the vaccination (note: NOT because the vaccination, but AFTER the vaccination; there is a small but important difference).
I congradulated her for this insight. She just has saved humanity and solved the COVID problem. Just have the Kiwis donate blood and develop a mighty antibody from that, so everyone on this planet can be treated. No need for a vaccination! COVID will be over by Christmas.
This solves everything. Now, I am pretty sure she has a great solution for climate change, too.
(Sarcasm mode off)
I am sooooo over this. And soooo tired of the whole situation. And for my mental health, I should just keep away from social media arguments. Not doing me any good.

<snip> And for my mental health, I should just keep away from social media arguments. Not doing me any good. I completely agree. Don't waste your time on those losers. I'm carrying on wearing my mask to avoid colds and flu and other airborne winter viruses, not just COVID-19. I choose not to pick up their germs if I can possibly avoid it!

I'm stuck on day 2 of a 3-day trip to the big city for hospital stuff. Funny how every time I see a new specialist, they discount/dismiss everything the last specialist said. The new doc certainly seems more confident in a treatment plan, which is nice--and the old specialist was... pretty unpleasant to deal with. I love a good 200 miles away but I think maybe that's worth it for a doc who will listen and consider all my symptoms rather than the one that relates most directly to their specialty.
That said, while the vaccination rate here is... pretty awful, I was a bit heartened to see most people wearing masks and social distancing. I haven't really left home much, let alone traveled, since the beginning of the pandemic. Though, of course, one of the staff when I checked in was wearing their mask improperly--how hard is it for these people to cover their damned nose?
And, like, you workin a freakin' hospital: do it right.
Over here we're expecting things to get worse with the post-thanksgiving spike. Probably won't be as bad as last year, though, thank god. But I imagine the USA will surpass 800k dead before too long, which is... nuts. This anti-vax movement really needs to be killed. It's effectively a social virus, yeah? So where's its vaccine?

So where's its vaccine?Don't get me started (I had been close to go all "Blood for the Blood God!" but then thought my chainsword is to precious to waste promethium on them).
I just cleaned up my Facebook. Some people are just not worth my mental health to worry about them. And I told them so before I disappeared and blocked them. If they think it is their right and freedom to die because they want their family party and social Christmas, well, have fun.
Hope you are well and keep safe!

My home state has had officially 4 Covid related fatalities since the beginning of all this badness. Our interstate borders are opening up here November 23rd.. There is a mad dash for the public to get their shots.. As of yesterday we were over 80% of over-16 year olds jabbed..
It's expected there will be a big increase in cases here as Melbournites and Sydneysiders will immediately flock over here.. ARGH.
And yes. I didn't realise there were multiple ways to wear a mask.. there is only 1 dammmittt..

Only 4? Yeesh. I can't even imagine it.
You made me curious so I looked it up, and AUS has under 2k total deaths? Seems like y'all are handling the pandemic really well... or were. I'm seeing a huge spike in the number of cases starting in June/July of last year. What happened?
