@LesleeWalter2 Well... that just means you'll have one game extra to catch up. We did 1183 today. Oh, the price to pay for being in paradise 😊

[Kate Simpson @Leap4Kate]

@LesleeWalter2 Awesome Lesley and love the green pattern 💚

[Kate Simpson @Leap4Kate]

@LesleeWalter2 Me too!😅

[Kate Simpson @Leap4Kate]

@LesleeWalter2 Whenever I get a 'phew' I check on your game, as in, today! Have a good one!

[Kate Simpson @Leap4Kate]

@LesleeWalter2 Pretty darn good achievement there Lesley 😊 my highest was 206, currently on 35.

@LesleeWalter2 Well I bombed out yesterday but got it in 3 today. Back down to 96%🤔

Another day, another log truck full of hundreds of years old trees. It must stop! There is no excuse for the continued destruction of #NativeForests — it’s a climate-destroying practice.

Today, forest defenders held a vigil to bear witness.

@RositaDaz48 Surely you can come up with something original. That story's been going 'round for ages using rhe names of various politicians from various political persuasion & various countries

[Kate Simpson @Leap4Kate]

Frightening!

Here is a Brazilian billionaire saying to Tasmania, I want to spread more of our fish pen squalor to more of your beautiful bays and oceans, and I think I have found just the weak-spined government that will make Tasmanians subsidise all this #politas

Yes, addressing indoor air quality needs prioritising and quickly

[Colin Kinner @ColinKinner]

The Long COVID Inquiry's report is out.

Some good recommendations, and a much-needed acknowledgement that addressing indoor air quality will help to reduce transmission.

Also several key issues not discussed:
- No explicit recommendation to a change of course from "let-it-rip" to reducing transmission
- No recommendation for a public health campaign to educate the public about COVID
- No acknowledgement of the effect of misinformation or absence of information
- No recommendation regarding mask-wearing (just a pass-the-buck saying this is up to states and "individual responsibility") 🫠

It's a good start, but much more to be done.
