Keep well everyone and hope we can all stay ahead of this dreaded virus. 😷

Ukraine

This time one year ago Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine. So many lives since have been lost on both sides. Many, many thousands of refugees have left their homeland through no choice of their own. Cities devastated. Peoples homes flattened into unrecognisable piles of rubble and it continues today. Putin thought he could take Ukraine in a few days...he was badly mistaken. NATO countries have stood strong and helped. Many countries around the world have helped. We in Australia have helped with training Ukranian soldiers to sending money and equipment. There is one question I have often wondered and if any of my friends in the United States can help, I would be appreciative.  Here in Australia, from what I understand, almost everyone supports Ukraine and it's fight against the strength of Putin and Russia. We know that if Ukraine falls to the Russian troops NATO countries are most likely under threat and that will lead to conflict on a much, much larger scale. Why does it appea...

The Uluṟu Statement from the Heart

I am nailing my colours to the mast...as they say... with regards to a vote we as Australians will be holding soon. I will be voting YES in the referendum on October 14. My choice has, I add, caused "waves" from those around me and fear it will continue to do so but in my heart I feel it is the right thing to do.

The odds of this referendum being carried has way of an outside chance. Out of 44 referendums since federation only 8 have been carried so the odds are not great. And there is so much opposition..so much opposition of this even getting through. Facts are continually being distorted.  It's just sad.  Where many First Nations people STILL to this day live in abj...

Before Social Media...

 Just got to thinking... Back in the days before social media...which wasn't really that long ago..we had the threat of another form of  Coronavirus... SARS severe acute respiratory syndrome. In November 2002 this form of atypical pneumonia began spreading around the world in which the World Health Organisation declared it to be "a world wide heath threat."  It was scary...often in the news and no one knew exactly what to expect. SARS was an airborne virus...the same as Covid-19 now. It was the first severe transmissible disease to emerge in the 21st century. Spread the same way the current pandemic is now by droplets of saliva, surfaces that have been touched by someone infected by the virus, and spread quickly around the world by international travel. The illness spread to 29 countries where 8096 people caught it and 774 of those people died. Only eight people in the United States caught SARS and none of them died. The SARS outbreak was contained in July 2003. Since 200...
