While we Victorians agonise over numbers, vaccination and masks, there are still those away from 'high risk' data who wear other views... This one from a driver in the Northern Territory who, admittedly, has not been caught up in the urban 'close' fears...

I won’t be getting vaccinated

— BoutaNT (@bouta_nt) October 13, 2021

I don’t necessarily disagree with the vaccine. I totally disagree with them forcing you to get it.

— BoutaNT (@bouta_nt) October 13, 2021

The virus has a 99.7% survival rate for fuck sake. I’ll take my chances. And vaccinated people are still getting it. Wake up for fuck sake.

— BoutaNT (@bouta_nt) October 13, 2021

And I think I said if you want to travel then I understand the vaccine. It’s a personal choice.

12 Africans in the First Fleet...

Did you know there were 12 Africans on the First Fleet? Many of the Africans on the First Fleet, defected to the British forces during the American Revolution. Most of the marines placed in Sydney+many convicts were in the AR together.https://t.co/5sLNDJC2KO via @TheFeedSBS

panic attacks...

Same here...My panic attacks are rising. A crowded carpark or supermarket will now turn me around for home. I don't/can't venture there. I try to pick my times when minimal numbers of people are around...
