    The funniest part of the #SuperSpreaderDan video is that it was FILMED by mainstream media at a press conference with the premier. NONE of them asked him about it. It took @therealrukshan and I, the two independent journalists they love to mock, to hold the premier accountable.

    Well there you go. The things we learn.

    Sliced bread even had government messing around with it. Unbelievable. 16:58.

    THG:

    Sliced bread is the standard for greatness. No one seems to ask what was the greatest thing before sliced bread, and many compete over what is the greatest thing since. But, in 1943, sliced bread was about to encounter the largest war in human history, leading many to argue that the worst thing since sliced bread was the time the government banned sliced bread. The US government ban on sliced bread in January 1943 is history that deserves to be remembered.

    Good Morning Troops

    Just catching up on the news in Venestralia;

    NSW – Dr Menglechant suddenly “discovers” a new delta strain the day after she gets sidelined by the new state premier. Amazingly convenient to keep her in the spotlight.

    Lockdanistan – Week 8 of the quick 5 day lockdan so Vicganistan doesn’t get the case numbers that the peoples republic of NSW did, aaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha, morons.

    The hermit kingdom of WA – Just discovered gunpowder and have embraced the new technology of the recurve bow, remains closed to all outsiders.

    Queenganistan – the love child of Mr Potato Head and a smashed crab still self promoting. Voted 2nd in most punchable face, narowlly beaten by Diego Maradonas rectum.

    It’s mild and humid, just alongside at Sabai Island in PNG, a lot of asian fishing boats in the area.

    Singapore’s immunity trap a lesson for Australia

     

    In the last few weeks, tents and other temporary structures have appeared at hospitals in Singapore as it grapples with a per-capita load of daily infections that is suddenly the highest in Asia.

    But unlike in India or Indonesia earlier in the year, these spillover areas are not filled with desperately ill people. Rather, they are triage stations, sorting COVID-19 cases into those who can go home, those who need to be admitted, and those who need to be otherwise isolated.

     

    The difference is vaccination. When the delta variant ripped through New Delhi and Jakarta, vaccination rates were negligible. In contrast, about eight in 10 of Singapore’s entire population are double-jabbed. That’s one of the highest rates in the world and has kept serious illness to low numbers.

    But vaccinations reduce, rather than stop, infections and Singapore’s Finance Minister, Lawrence Wong, describes the country as “COVID-19 naive” because it recorded a relatively low number of COVID-19 infections before vaccinations became widespread.

    It turns out the terrible waves of illness that swept through the United Kingdom and the United States last year did leave one positive – natural immunity. It’s valuable and the only way to get it is through people catching COVID-19.

    As Wong put it, many countries “have reached a new COVID-stable situation where they are able to resume activities, and they have not seen any resurgence of cases. We are in a different position.”

    The parallels to Australia and New Zealand are obvious, says professor Teo Yik Ying, dean of the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore.

    “Pandemics end through natural selection or adaption, which is what happens when we are repeatedly exposed to a pathogen. We get used to it being in our body and thereby reducing the harmful or long-term consequences,” professor Teo says.

    “Our ministers use that phrase ‘COVID-naive’ because Singapore – very much like Australia and New Zealand – has been very successful at keeping COVID-19 out of our country, so many of our people have not been exposed to the virus.”

    I won’t get jabbed until Africa reaches 85% fully vaccinated.
