🇦🇺 Australia: COVID keeps killing more people every month than flu does in a year.
“In other words, there were three times as many confirmed Covid-19 cases as influenza cases,” Adrian Esterman, professor of biostatistics at the University of South Australia, told TND.
“And the death rate associated with Covid-19 was about four times as high as for influenza.”
He said it was “completely crazy that face masks are not mandatory in all health care, hospital and aged-care settings”.

To be fair, South of the border, no one cares about #ScottishIndependence or a united #Ireland. I think most people wish both would happen so we don't have to hear about it any longer.
It's the ruling class unionists who still hanker for the colonial empire, & keeping Scotland & North Ireland under English rule. It's never been a major issue for the average person in England, hence why I think most would support the #Irish & the #Scots if given the chance.
It's the unfortunate reality. People generally deal with what's in front of them & what affects them. #Scotland & North #Ireland doesn't affect the average person in England.
What you have to unravel is why the ruling classes are so desperate to subjugate Scotland in particular.
North Ireland is a different matter. The feeling is that Westminster wouldn't mind a united Ireland, as long as they keep face & it doesn't look like they've bowed to IRA pressure.
Given the developments this week it has become clear that:
The International Criminal Court,
The International Court of Justice,
Ireland,
Spain,
and Norway…
…are all Hamas.
Yes, there is no other explanation and Israel is by no means an apartheid state engaged in genocide (how could you even think such a thing, you raging antisemite, you?!)
„In pre-Christian #Ireland, there were two types of poet; the elite class of the Fili, and the lesser caste of the Bard.
They normally served a clan chieftain, keeping all their clan’s lore and history, and were highly respected. Some belonged to a community, and served at community ceremonies and events, while others belonged to no particular area or lord, but traveled, offering their skills in return for board and lodging.“ #Celtic

There is absolutely no logical reason why me, a 50-something year old #hiphop head, should love this rap song by a group of Irish preteens as much as I do.
#Celtic#FolkloreThursday: How did the storytellers of the #IronAge learn about the prehistory of #Ireland? #Fintan mac Bochra could tell them all about it, because he lived for at least 5000 years after the Deluge well into the time of #Fionn Mac Cumhaill, becoming the repository of all knowledge of #Ireland and all history.
Netanyahu and Biden governments in meltdown again as three countries bypass US veto and declare Palestine a state
The US and Israeli governments have reacted with fury to announcements by three European governments, at the same time, that they are recognising Palestinian statehood. Ireland, Norway and Spain have all now formally declared Palestine to be a state.
Yedioth Ahronoth Hebrew newspaper: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is considering closing the #Israeli#embassy in #Ireland due to its blatant anti-Israel stance, which came to light yesterday (Wednesday) when it announced, along with #Spain and #Norway, recognition of the #Palestinian state.
