Hello good people.
I am so proud of how we in Oz & our good neighbours have done so well in this crisis, notwithstanding early inaction, various slips & Ruby (which all count).
This is unequivocally awful, beyond politics geography, religion or race.
Our pollies are cooperating, listening to experts & doing it better as we go. Kudos to all without reservation.
I worry that as we look forward to relaxations that frustration, loud voices, vested interests & fools will risk undoing our sacrifices for profit, infamy or greed.
'Celeb cures', snake oil merchants, 'influencers', conspiracy cranks & vested interests must all be called into question & held accountable where they seek to profiteer or cause harm.
In this sense, we are at a war footing.
Paradoxically, talking heads telling us to do the right thing is key media strategy. Long term change is needed here getting experts to argue/discuss issues regularly in public forums.
I have coincidentally been following the YouTube UK NHS Cardiologist
medlifecrisis through this. He contracted it himself & urges everyone not to diminish other medical concerns at this time as a hidden tragedy of this.
Pardon the rant, but chefs are not doctors started this. Viruses have been around a lot longer than Paleo-times.
Let us never forget or devalue all those who served us all through this &/or have lost lives, loved ones.
Peace & love. homines sumus,
Guilty of many cryptic crosswords this year
