covid and the flu will NEVER take out as many people as self inflicted things like junk food and obesity.

You can't cough on someone and give them obesity, you ignorant tool.

Now now, Greggery, people should be grateful to be coughed on. If they catch obesity their condition could become terminal.

Covid's a state of mind. The placebo effect can be very powerful indeed.

9/ Humans can be trained and conditioned quickly and relatively easily to significantly alter their behaviours - for better or worse.

everyone wants a quick fix.

just a jab and youre done, youre healthy

health doesnt work like that

You don't have to answer, but, if you choose to (cos if you do, this thread will ramble), how does health work?

well the first thing any healthy individual does (mentally healthy that is) is to fully accept that we are on this earth for a very very short time.

and to spend 2 years treading water in the false belief that you can create a 'safe space" is sheer lunacy.

i get why people are so scared of death

they never see it

in the bush , you see it all the time

it makes you 'bounce out of bed with a plan"

the insulated urban individual does not want to confront this harsh reality
( in the same way he chows down on a bacon snadwich but doesnt want to see the appalling life of the pig in a cage)

covid is just a tiny dose of this reality and it freaks people out.

that alone reveals how delusional they are and what a false reality they are living in .

they could confront this reality and use it as motivation to work on their fitness and their nutrition.

but i suspect that even confronting that death is approaching rapidly and trying to "do" something would create unbearable death anxiety for them

as they ran around the block every morning at 5 am , they would be thinking "i am doing this because i dont want to DIE young" and that would create existential fear.

so they outsource that responsibility to "authority figures" (politicians, chief health officers, doctors , cops ) to "keep them safe"

it never works because thats not reality.

i think it would be good if everytime someone died, the corpse stayed in the house for a week and the kids and grandkids got to hang around it and accept death as part of the reality of life.

the pandemic has revealed a few things

one is the incredible level of death anxiety in society

two is the incredible desire for safety

both are non fruitful modes of being

LOL!

From today's West Australian.

I haven't tried downloading and setting this up yet (still using the SafeWA app which is supposed to be phased out before too much longer).

Doesn't inspire me with much confidence. And, as others have pointed out, why can't our vaccination status be linked to the existing SafeWA app like it has been in other States with their check in apps?

That's very true.

Death has been sanitised or censored for the convenience of the metropolitan so that we can live with the delusion that its inevitability should be a only a concern to people of a netherworld.

Downloaded the new ServiceWA app and tried to set it up on my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone which I've had for nearly 5 years which Samsung haven't provided any updates for since 1st March 2017. Running Android 6.0.1

Got to the part where it says I need the myGovID app to get a "digital identity" for the ServiceWA app to work.

Tried to download and install the myGovID app and I get the message "This app is not compatible with your device". Cheesy

What a joke... if the WA government expect me to buy a new phone to run their new app then they can think again. Or, they can pay for it.

I'll keep using the SafeWA app to sign in at shops, etc. and when it stops working I'll just use pen and paper. I already have my Covid vaccination certificate on my phone and I'll also print out and laminate a paper copy and carry that with me too like I've done for my aunt's certificate.

Idiots.

We dont laugh at you yet, Carl, we'll save all that for Feb 5th, when we storm your airports and kill your chodes.

Don't worry about Aquascoot, he'll stay isolating on his farm, watching the Superior Man drive past on the freeway, his hot babe filly by his side, coughing, his Maccas wrappers landing on Aquascoot's front lawn, causing Aquascoot to curse and call his long-suffering wife to rescue the Superior Man's rubbish, dispose safely and sanitise.

Aquascoot lives in a suburban housing estate on the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, Meister. His local Maccas drive-thru is less than a k away.

The long-suffering Mrs Scoot has to bribe Aquascoot from driving thru between meals, as you do.

Here's the toilet roll shelves of our local IGA in Kooyong Rd. Rivervale this morning.

Just some tissues left. I think that might be paper towels on the top shelf, I didn't have a good look.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people? Nearly 2 years after the Great Toilet Roll Panic of 2020 surely everyone would realized by now just how ridiculous hoarding toilet paper is? Cheesy

Especially since we're still 3 weeks away from WA's Grand Reopening & Let It Rip Day.

We need a new Covid variant that only targets stupid people - trouble is, if that happened there wouldn't be too many of us left on Planet Earth which may not be such a bad thing come to think of it...

I went to the Vic Park Woolworths today, and they didn't have a single pain killer on the shelf.

All Panadol, Nurofen, and Aspirin completely sold out. Not a single pack left.

In the meat section, there was just one pack of sausages, a couple of packs of gravy beef, and a single pack of chicken mince.

Strangely, there was still some toilet paper left on the shelves. Not much though.

People are idiots.

Went back up to our IGA again this morning and, sure enough... all the painkillers were gone. Same with all the toilet rolls.

I wonder what would happen if deputy chief medical officer Michael Kidd told everyone they needed to jump off a cliff to avoid getting Covid?

And, I'm also wondering if a lot of those people now hoarding Panadol, Nurofen and other painkillers are eating them like lollies because they 'think' it will stop them getting Covid?

We'll just have to wait and see if there's a massive increase in liver damage cases in the coming months and years.

Just to show how stupid people are these days, have a look at this:

Aussie shopper points out bizzare twist in Panadol, Nurofen panic buying nightmare

Quote:

Stock supply shortages and panic buyers have seen shelves at supermarkets and pharmacies across the country stripped bare of pain medication – well, almost.

Last week, Australians were urged to stock up on essentials they would need in case they were diagnosed with Covid-19.

One of the key items deputy chief medical officer Michael Kidd suggested Aussies should have on hand was paracetamol or ibuprofen in order to manage fevers and mild aches or pains.

“My advice is that you make sure you have some paracetamol or ibuprofen at home in case you’re diagnosed with Covid-19,” he said.

“It’s important to be prepared because you won’t be able to go to your supermarket or pharmacy if you are diagnosed with Covid-19.”

Quote:

A photo, posted to Twitter by user Katerina, shows the shelves at Chemist Warehouse store that usually display Panadol and Nurofen completely empty.

However, right next to it, are rows and rows of the pain killer Panamax.

Just like Panadol, Panamax contains the active ingredient paracetamol is used to relieve pain and fevers.

It is also significantly cheaper, costing $2.99 for 100 tablets, compared to Panadol which costs $13.49 for the same amount.

“Lol when people don’t realise Panamax is paracetamol,” Katrina wrote.

Idiots.... idiots everywhere...

I emailed ServiceWA app support last Friday evening telling them about the problem I was having but so far I haven't had a reply.

I was talking to a friend of ours who we met at Belmont Forum on Wednesday afternoon and he told us about a friend of his who was having a similar problem with the new ServiceWA app. He phoned support and was basically told "oh, well... you'll probably need to buy a new phone".

Maybe that's why I haven't had a reply to my email because I stated quite clearly that I was not going to buy a new phone. But, in all fairness it isn't the new ServiceWA app causing a problem with my phone its the Federal government's myGovID app causing it.

Speaking of Belmont Forum, I've noticed there was a Covid exposure site on Monday at Guzman y Gomez.

https://thewest.com.au/news/coronavirus/covid-update-wa-five-new-cases-of-commun...

Quote:

The new cases follow the release of an updated list of exposure sites in Perth this morning including Wattle Grove Motel (January 18 and 19), BGC Fibre Warehouse and Distribution in Canning Vale (January 18), Guzman y Gomez outlet at Belmont Forum shopping centre (January 17) and Sagitta CrossFit in East Victoria Park (January 17).

Guzman y Gomez is at the southern end of Belmont Forum near Aldi. My aunt and I were sitting on the seats outside Aldi two days later (Wednesday) when we ran into our friend that I mentioned above. Shocked
