I'm writing this because I need to put this down, and here seemed the place.
After the National Cabinet met, the Prime Minister announced that in a few weeks, it will no longer be mandatory for positive COVID cases to isolate--not for seven days, not for five days... just not mandatory.
The Prime Minister claimed that this was because case numbers were low, and insisted that this decision was made following medical advice. The Chief Medical Officer declared it was time to stop relying on isolation "in isolation". He actually said that we need a diverse series of measures to address COVID, and to stop seeing COVID as an exceptional respiratory disease.
The translation of all this is that mandating an isolation period was costing too much. Cafe, bar and restaurant owners were finding operating a business difficult, because COVID positive staff would, at short notice, have to miss work. Dominic Perrottet, the Premier of New South Wales, declared it was time for us to rely on "personal responsibility". The Prime Minister repeated that we can't depend on one measure, and then, without a single trace of awareness, said that vaccinations are proving effective. We now have no mask wearing in small spaces, or on public transport.
Paul Kelly, the Chief Medical Officer, with a smile on his face, actually said that most people were vaccinated, and had one booster, and a lot of us had also had natural immunity, too. None of these provide us long lived protection.
I'm perching on that tipping point where I'm about to be livid. If there is nothing for us to worry about, as case numbers are dropping (they're not, they're holding level, dipping and rising and dipping by the month) then by that logic, the need for isolation will drop, naturally. Exercising personal responsibility has always proven effective... as the number of people who are breath tested and found to be over the legal blood alcohol limit show.
So the real reason this decision was made is purely economical. But what is so foul and disgustingly revolting is that it is being dressed up as some kind of carefully considered science driven decision.
If case numbers are going down, then isolation is playing its part... and should stay, because the need for isolation will reduce. If case numbers are going up, we not only need isolation, but we also need mask awareness, vaccination awareness, and more measures, besides, like reliable testing. And we don't need a Chief Medical Officer telling us that things are just fine and dandy.
But I'm still livid.

I am interested in owning Hijazi goats, but I live in the USA. Can I get them shipped to the USA? And what is the cost of the goats?
I just think goats are neat. I'm not even allowed chickens where I live. As for shipping to the USA I'd check the USDA(united states department of agriculture) website.

laura. laura do you have ANY context for the "electric callboy walking around with their pants and underpants down and having another dude touch their junks" gif set? I hope this is a nice use of your quarantine time and that those gifs will help you recover soon
It's from last year's Escalationfest vlog.
Context? I have none. Boys being boys. Eierschnippsen. Why is that a thing? I don't know.
