@freethought202 Sounds like long Covid to me. What’s your antivax troll point? What’s the source of your scary graphic’s claims?

@RoseBJackson @emmaandollie Are @NSWHealth following WHO recommendations re records of infection?

[Margaret Throsby @margaretthrosby]

10 days ago I knew nobody with Covid. Different story now as one by one friends & family succumb. Now up to 2 doz, some very sick. Getting a PCR test in Syd & Illawarra is impossible. Who cares? Not the govt apparently. “She’ll be right mate!”

[@[email protected] @LiamPomfret]

Putting the costs of RAT tests on those most likely to be infected means shifting even more of the costs of this pandemic onto the working poor. It's not just poor economic policy, it's an intentionally cruel policy. Disgraceful. #auspol

[David Vaile @DavidVaile]

@cletiscarr ABS told me collectors won’t make ‘direct contact’ in Lockdown or Stay At Home Order areas; also, collectors from such areas will not do direct contact in other areas. They’re not asked their vaccination status, so could be anything. Not aware of policy re testing.

What does it mean that QLD Labor seem to have overcome the full force of Murdoch, Palmer & other pro-Liberal organisations? #auspol #QLDvotes2020

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

Listening to Sky News and Murdoch mouthpieces trying to rationalise the Labor and @AnnastaciaMP victory.
Pompous and self important Murdoch mouthpiece Paul Kelly spewing out the Morrison lines and denigrating Qld Labor.
This makes the Labor victory even sweeter!

Sometimes Australians react to being told what’s good for them.
Purchase politics has failed.👍

@LJPatton Agree, risk false sense of security from brand - COVIDSafe app can’t keep you safe, nor warn of risk, only help trace after you’re infected, or infected someone. Effective individual, social & govt prevention tools the only things will actually prevent spread. 2/2

[David Vaile @DavidVaile]

@LJPatton No evidence reliance on any BT proximity log apps, which can only detect possible infectious events (variable false +ve & -ve rates) betw. active app devices, after infectious event, can offset public health failures in prevention strategy, tactics, or compliance. 1/2

[David Vaile @DavidVaile]

/2 failures in prevention strategy, tactics or compliance. And agree, real risk of false - app cannot keep you safe, nor warn you of risk, only help tracing after you are infected.

@IrrigationJims @FreeWorld_4U Jim’s well-informed & right, FreeWorld can’t spell & trolls debunked Trumpy misinformation. ‘Herd immunity’? Busted. Evidence: immunity from infection is not universal, complete or persistent enough. Sweden’s experiment: highest death rate, no economic escape, can’t travel.

[David Vaile @DavidVaile]

@SalingerPrivacy @cporterwa EFF has a useful primer on proximity tracking tech, limitations, and risks; comes to similar conclusions. Singapore model has also recently blown out, not the success it seemed; their app has not proven itself. https://t.co/JrmP3AMasI

TheHackersNews: RT TheHackersNews: Why is the #Zoom video-conferencing app making so many negative headlines in #cybersecurity?

Here's an excellent summary that tells everything you need to know about the debate over Zoom's #privacy and cybersecurity.

@cjoye Sounds plausible, until you check dataz. ‘Let it rip’ for herd immunity (like Boris, til ‘flu’ ICU numbers met China reality) = the exposed 90% suffer enough death, lung and heart damage for panic and disaster too. @Johnkehoe23 @ALeighMP @JoshFrydenberg @StephenJonesMP

@LisaLemon09 Single source of truth? Only if true! Beware the spin crew insisting spin is true, and losing everyone’s trust.

[David Vaile @DavidVaile]

@LisaLemon09 ‘Single source of truth’? Only if it’s true! Risk is central government using it to insist tilty spin should be accepted.

@healthengine @bipr @MyHealthRec You’re probably aware of the apps page on the government's MyHR site, but if not...

Looks like access to me!
Not one but two Telstra companies with tentacles into the MyHR, what could go wrong?
