I have lost several friends to cancer. The thing is, their cancer was in remission before they caught C19 and then came back as turbo cancer that spread everywhere and killed then within weeks. Latest research. Please wear a mask #mask, #maskswork, #Covid19.

The LNP don't like their own words repeated back to them, which is why they're infuriated by this ad.
Which is also why you should share it.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Just wanted to share some pictures of the red-tailed black cockatoos that come and feed on my Silver Princess eucalyptus tree. The same family comes with their offspring each year. They will be feeding daily off my tree for the next few months and will give it a good top trim at the same time.

COVID was an opportunity to adapt & be a more inclusive society. We could have learned about airborne spread & adopted clean air standards. Improved ventilation. Made more outdoor spaces. Normalized masking.
Instead we’ve politicized infection control & made society less safe for everyone

If you're an official who says that we need to work to prevent the next pandemic, but have been silent about stopping mask bans, then you are just virtue signaling.

Some of my ME/CFS symptoms resemble C19, so I am constantly RAT testing. This year, I will be using the Pluslife Mini dock which should cut down testing. The PlusLife will be a game changer for us.

Imagine if they did this in the spaces children spend their days.
I’m quite certain we’d witness much less illness.
It’s such a simple & rudimentary thing, a good filter. It ain’t brain surgery and I’m no science person but even I figured it out.
