The Biebs has facial paralysis from a syndrome caused by viral damage of facial nerves.

His wife in her twenties has had several strokes.

Mysterious.

Could that they both have been infected by a virus that infects neural tissue, and massively increases the risk of blood clots have something to do with it?


Naaah. Crazy talk.

MONKEYPOX!

Or Bell’s Palsy? Work colleague got that, after a virus. The damage was permanent.

Never cease to be amazed by the selfishness that has been exposed by this pandemic. Our junior footy team got a message on Thursday that one of the players was positive for COVID and throwing up so wouldn’t be at the game. Rock up this morning and there’s the parent, there’s the child, coughing and taking the field.

I spent a week in iso so my kids can continue to avoid it in winter, not miss a week of school, not feel like shit, not miss activities. And here’s a parent deciding everyone else’s kid can just catch it so they don’t miss a week of footy.

Why did the club let him play. South Morang Football Club banned a woman for life due to knowingly turning up sick and spreading covid around the club.

We’re talking young kids. I didn’t say anything because I can’t be 100 per cent sure about the rules surrounding ‘asymptomatic’ kids at school and community sport. I’m fairly sure the rules are the same, have COVID, isolate for 7 days, but wouldn’t stake my life on it. Also, I’m not interested in creating a scene, there were others more involved in the club there who know the situation.

But it’s incredibly selfish. Even if my kids were feeling fine after testing positive and the rules said they didn’t have to isolate, I’d keep them away for others for a week, it’s just doing right by others. No different to parents sending sick kids to daycare. We have Aboriginal kids whose parents still wear a mask presumably because they are vulnerable. Many talk about moving on with life and people managing their own risk, but it’s hard when others sabotage their risk management.

Wife tested positive Sunday night on a RAT, we went for PCRs Monday morning, hers came back positive, mine and our daughters came back negative despite all of us having roughly the same symptoms.

This morning I did a RAT after not being able to keep my morning coffee down and it was instantly positive.

So I've missed the last two days of work looking after the other two and have to start my own 7 days now.

Kinda disappointed after avoiding it for so long but I guess taking two flights over the weekend caught us out.

But my wife and I are triple vaxxed but our daughter is too young so hopefully it doesn't hit us too hard
 
For the first time in what feels like forever in WA, Premier McGowan and his department will stop giving daily COVID case updates as of Friday.

It warranted only a tiny mention in mainstream news, but this announcement effectively marks (pun intended)the end of COVID being a major issue in the media. People here now talk about cost of living, Flagmantle, construction delays yet again etc, masks are still around but no one really cares too much, vaccination hubs are being phased out or converted to free flu jab centres.

Historians will probably enjoy studying this period for the political response in WA since January 2020 - when COVID arrived, the Liberal Party was relevant in WA but subsequent State and Federal elections have reduced them to a rabble. We may never again see the astronomical popularity of Mark McGowan in our lifetimes for a State Premier.

Vale COVID (hopefully) and man the Eagles suck ass this year.

COVID Cases, COVID hospitalisations, COVID cases in ICU & PCR positivity rate have been on the rise in NSW over the last week.

Hopefully a natural increase associated with winter.

COVID zero is no longer feasible and it is essentially endemic now, so it's all about management of hospitalisations now with tweaking of vaccine requirements, mask mandates etc when needed. WA is still coping well (touch wood) months after letting omicron run through the community.

More like reinfections with new sub-variants, that evade immunity (vaccine and past infections).
Following the trend in other countries that are seeing rising cases in summer from new sub-variants.
 
Its interesting that western countries have gone with covid zero is no longer possible so **** it let it run rampant and China is still locking down entire cities to stop it spreading.

What're vaccination rates like in China?

No idea
Vaccines have been out governments excuse to act like covid becoming the second leading cause of death isn't nees worthy though.

We still don't know the long term impacts of this, we know lots of nasty side effects exist even without hospitalisation from the initial infection.

We also know you can get it more than once and that past infection doesn't mean future infection will be milder.

We now also have studies that show early infections in 2020 can lead to worse immune responses from vaccination, not better.

Covid keeps mutating and they've not found a better vaccine than what we started with.

I don't want to be living in China but we are seeing how little people getting sick and dying actually matters to our governments when they think the level of illness won't kill the economy

We have to live with it because achieving COVID zero would be virtually impossible and ruinous to lives and economies. Unfortunately, the constant stream of hospitalisations and deaths must now be accepted - because you can no longer get it down to zero unless you want to adopt the Chinese approach. I was naturally a big fan of the McGowan approach for the first couple of years of COVID but we all knew it could not be sustained forever especially as far more contagious variants developed.

At this stage, you simply must gamble that infection would give you antibodies and continued circulation until it becomes endemic like the flu and common cold, and that people keep vaccinating if they are concerned, and hope to hell that new COVID variants aren't more deadly and the immune response is enough in the population to keep the strain on hospitals manageable.

And the new antivirals become freely available.
