Might need them again, so why take them down?
I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

Bottom line of systematic assessment of studies on Covid vaccinations/boosters:

A friend kept getting sick. I said it might be repeated COVID infections.
He laughed — “You think everything is COVID”
Then added, “Everyone’s been sick lately — it’s normal now”
That’s not normal. That’s what years of COVID denial have done.

Gas exports have meant Australian households and businesses have paid billions of dollars more for energy over the last decade.
