Serj Tankian chose to wear a mask while signing autographs at his new coffee venue Kavat Coffee earlier this week.

Protecting your health and the community around you is still relevant and still matters. Clean air and small precautions aren’t overreactions, they’re care in action.

I really despise how risky hospitals are for respiratory transmission today.

Its mitigatable right up to the point you have an issue that makes it not mitigatable.

Hospitals should not be a place of unmanaged risk resulting in health danger.

Measles cases in Victoria are running at an even steeper rate than last year. It took several months for last year's local outbreak to end, and we returned to the pattern of sporadic introductions.

The unprecedented second wave of influenza in NSW continues to grow, driven by A/H3N2 subclade K - "Kangaroo variant". Even if the peak is imminent (no sign of that), it looks set to continue well into January.

No sign of any effective public health response.

"...significant alterations in brain neurochemicals, brain signal intensity, and tissue structure not only in individuals with Long COVID but also in those who considered themselves fully recovered."

I really wish people would stop fucking minimizing #Covid and denying that #LongCovid exists.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
