Why is it ridiculous? Does it not protect those taking the test by reducing the likelihood of catching the virus from someone who is positive?
 
Sorry for repeating myself but binning off social media in its current state should be the #1 priority for governments. The benefits in no way compensate for the damage done.
I deleted my FB account in 2011 and have not missed it one iota. I’m glad I wasn’t on there for the last few years when it’s become even more of a poisonous cesspit.

Quite.

I use Instagram but deleted Facebook and the only time I ever see Twitter really is from people posting the nonsense in here.

It can become easy to think 90% of the population are morons spending time on Twitter in particular. Not good for mental health at all.

I deleted all social media apps off my phone a few weeks ago and I’ve seen a remarkable increase in my general happiness as I don’t spend time scrolling through dross. I’ve got twitter back but that was only to get away tickets. I’d highly recommend others trying it.

When I went to the hospital a professional in spacesuit gear took the test ........correctly .......it was skilfully done stewards letting the average Joe self test may not be accurate......that's my valid point .....

I’m pretty sure that the majority of tests in all settings aside from hospital are self administered.
 
Absolutely absurd scenes playing out here at home today.

A few weeks ago, our governor signed an order that gave parents the right to opt their children out of any local school mask mandate, basically for any reason. Yesterday, a federal judge ruled that this order was not legal, and that the school districts had the right to issue health guidance as they saw fit. As such, the school board here announced it would be enforcing the mask mandate, starting this morning.

However, the Karens on Facebook spent the weekend organizing, including holding a large rally in a park yesterday, and making plans to barricade the school entrances with their cars, and effectively shut the entire school system down until the mask mandate is removed.

So now, with the school system (rightfully) not wanting to force teachers and administrators to have to deal with these maniacs, and the police, I assume not having the manpower or desire to arrest hundreds of white parents, the decision has been made to close schools entirely for at least today while they figure out what to do next.

Mine was not - I witnessed it as I was there drove in window wind down swap up nose - down the throat with another swab - not pleasant, but I knew it had been professionally done - all those PAID stewards for my poor sons DIY exercise .... how accurate is that?

#WHY NOT JUST POST THE SELF KIT OUT, OR LEAVE IT IN A CHEMIST for a friend to pick up ?

It's like going to A&E, and treating your complaint yourself .... Again this incompetent Government wasting funds .....

He has had a bad dose of flu, he was sick when he got home, thankfully he has not got covid , but how accurate can it be when it's a DIY job ....
 
And confusion still reigns in Australia in general and NSW in particular.
Under the proposed stages of relaxation 'Freedom Regulations', aka, slightly less restrictions amendments...
Who thinks these things up and what do they base their thought process on.

You can go to a Casino or Massage Parlour 2 weeks before the kids can go back to school.
Vaxxed and Unvaxxed can sit next to somebody in a 'Faith Situation' - (church to most of us) a month before Vaxxed and Unvaxxed can share adjacent bar stools
Oh but the Covid Passport will still be a thing - how will that work?
Obvs - it can't, but they - the various Govts - will try and keep it going
Control, they love the control.

What do the actual people think?

QLD - Lab
NSW - Lib Coalition (tory-lite)
VIC - Lab
The personal approval for the 3 leaders are all about 62-65%
Strange days Indeed

To be fair twitter is brilliant for football and music for me - I don't think I could get away from it fully

But one thing people should remember is your own feed is different to the feed given to you on the news/trending parts. You get to choose who to follow, and can unfollow things you don't like. The steady stream of football articles and music recommendations or gig reviews on my feed make me happy so there are benefits

I had twitter for a few years, never had any other social media but binned twitter off a few months ago as it seemed like only a mixture of bots and unfunny trolls. Don't miss it one bit.
