1/2 Finding out my work Director has been sick several days, two of my colleagues are off sick (ear infection and shingles respectively), and a Proj Mgr is sick and WFH. This is happening in sunny Queensland where we've just gone from Summer to (fake) autumn. So it's not a Winter surge of illness.

Disabled people have been sounding the alarm about fascism for five years now. Pandemics lead to fascism. They excuse the deaths of the most vulnerable first. How do you not become vulnerable like us? Wear a mask! If you become disabled from Covid, they’ll excuse your death too.
