Looking at the quarterly figures for #PinguwaldaEnterprises and it seems that we’ve lost a third of our income compared to last year if we look at profit for 2025 so far. Better than the serf thought but still shite.

Infectious disease docs explaining that COVID infections are no big deal giving off the same vibe as Russian politicians explaining why the flames shooting out of the refinery are no big deal.

We just noticed that the posh cider we had yesterday is from Asturias - so finally we’ve had Asturian cider!

Yep, BBC peddling nonsense here. Viruses are NEVER your friend. I wish medical professionals were actually taught this instead of old wives’ tales.

"Most people will get one or two respiratory infections every year. In some ways, it's a good thing when you are a child or healthy adult.
"By getting exposed you are building up your immunity through natural infection…”

And we wonder why the average citizen is so clueless. 🤦‍♀️

Yeah, basically resigned myself to the fact that I’ll be long gone before masks and clean air are mandatory in healthcare. And that my first (?) covid infection will be acquired in a healthcare setting.

#9 Dream @gayfabfourfan.bsky.social · 23h

Did you know it was several decades before handwashing in hospitals was implemented after it was found to be necessary in 1846? We’re in the same boat today, except w/ airborne transmission—yes, in 2025. Unfuckingbelievable. So unnecessary, maddening, irresponsible, & dangerous. #MasksInHealthcare

Denis - The COVID Info Guy @thecovidinfoguy.bsky.social · 1d

This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life.

Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting.

The bin men didn't come until after 8pm last week. This made me realise how boring I am because it was one of the most interesting things that have happened in a while.
