🇳🇿"New Zealand is experiencing its highest peak in COVID-19 cases since December 2022, professor Michael Baker says."

"Despite the recommended isolation period now only being 5 days, Baker suggested people still getting a positive Covid-19 test wait to test again on day 6 or 7 before going back into society."

"The biology hasn't changed," Baker said, but there was more pressure for people to go back to work and school."

Coincidentally even though I still have a good supply, I ordered my next box of 50 masks about an hour ago ...

Which reminds me, it's nearly time to order my next box of Crap paper ...

Lady Gaga splits fans after admitting she had Covid during 5 live shows.

"The star then revealed that she “did 5 shows with Covid” as she didn’t want to cancel and disappoint the tens of thousands of supporters who planned to attend." 🤦‍♂️

Microsoft’s new “Recall” feature will record everything you do on your PC

Recall uses Copilot+ PC features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

""Recall screenshots are only linked to a specific user profile and Recall does not share them with other users, make them available for Microsoft to view, or use them for targeting advertisements.

The New York Times has astonished its readers by publishing a long indictment of a subject it has purposely ignored for years: “Jewish terrorism” against Palestinians.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel

Thing is ... leaders and the world's media enabled the "Jewish Terrorism" by not properly informing their general public and not condemning it over and over and over ...

And all because they are afraid of being labeled Anti-Semitic ...

People/countries don't suddenly wake up one day and say they are going to kill, brutalise, invade ... they 'practice' by doing a bit here and bit there to see what they can get away with first ...

Then others see it and reckon they can do it too ...

Like Australia's turn back and/or detention of "boat people" ... that other countries copy ...

Yeah but ... as a wise man one said ... "if you can gain access to an online system, then somebody else can" :)

And the inconvenience if one loses, breaks or has phone stolen, would be horrendous.

I found a woman's phone on a footpath once and it had everything else in the same wallet, licence, medicare, credit cards ...

But to each his own :)

@alexkidman

" It'd arguably be worse to lose your wallet "

From what I have seen on many women ... the phone is in the wallet (as was the one I found), so all goes at once ...

And ...

"a new phone can be purchased "

Not necessarily ... some people rely on hand-me-downs and with the 'cost of living' ...

But then I am of the old 'Be Prepared' brigade :)

So I repeat ... to each his own.

Thanks for that ...
Love it when I'm proven to be correct in my statement :)

Right from the beginning I claimed he didn't want to be President as it would interfere with his money grubbing ... all he wanted to do was stop Clinton from being President.

He is such a sexist misogynist the very thought of a woman being President was more than he could bear.

As for the rest ... Standard Conservative Underhanded Malfeasance ...

I watched a doco in the wee small hours on the way the first Covid vaccines were researched and made so quickly ... very interesting ... and I still say those scientists should have been thanked ... instead of abused and accused by the covidiots ...

MyView,
@MyView@aus.social avatar

@harold @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19

"But Karikó’s long years of research into mRNA had laid the foundations for that achievement."

Thanks.
I can't remember if that was mentioned in the doco or not. Have to admit I had the TV on as 'white nose' as I was trying to get back to sleep so dozed off at times :)

A well deserved award ... the quiet achievers always do the work but the loudmouths take the credit ... In everything.

That 'American culture' should shock everyone ... especially how everything is based on how much money can be made ...

Sadly can find the same attitude about filth here in many places. After spending teenage years working in the hospitality industry I check cafe/restaurant corners before I place an order, dirty, leave.

And I've had to clean every house I've moved into and I cleaned the gym room I used a decade ago :)

"“Sometimes even science, with all its rigour and discipline, depends on plain old luck,” "

Yep. I read once that most scientific moments are not Eureka! but "That's odd" ...

“‘Do not blame. Focus on what you can control. Transform bad stress into good stress,’”
And ...
"“I want to be the one to tell you now: Do not stop. Your future contribution might still be hypothetical. Please treat it like it’s real. It matters. It matters even if you don’t get to see the impact. That’s not the part any of us gets to control. Just keep going with your one more thing, and your one more thing, and your one more thing after that.”"

THE best advice ... and not just for scientists ...

That reminds me how one hot day recently my neighbour told me that daylight saving had to be stopped because it's too hot ...

I thought it was a joke and said yeah if only we could choose the weather by the clock according to what we wanted.

The rant went on and on about how it was hottest in the afternoon because of that extra hour of sunlight ... and it had to be stopped because people were suffering ...

Luckily it was all texts so couldn't see how much I was laughing ...

The whole thing reminded me of the 'cows won't know when it's time to be milked' and the 'furniture will fade' arguments of years gone by :)
