Catherine Bennett is happy to allow people to get infected with Covid19.
We don't need her "advice" - we need to hear from people who are interested in protecting all people.
Catherine hasn't yet grasped mentally that Covid19 is a risk to everyone.

Calling public health measures like masks "detrimental" while hospitals remain unable to cope does not show soundness of mind.

With clear air, keen to highlight this piece. An explainer of the high COVID death toll in Oz, addressing controversies, what might be ahead & the power of small improvements in transmission. "Leave no one behind" means we must face this.

A good summary of how infectious disease prevention specialists have denied airborne transmission (as much as feasible in each case) for over a century, and continue to do so

In the rush to connect kids to virtual classrooms during the Covid-19 pandemic, many governments failed to check that their education technology recommendations were safe.
The result: Children are being surveilled.

Vaccines and mask-wearing could help bring Covid19 under control.
But authorities continue to play down mask-wearing, with devastating consequences for many innocent people.
1,000 Queenslanders have now died of COVID. Lea's much-loved husband Colin was one of them
