Also preserved in our archive

By John Mackay and Martin Scott

New South Wales (NSW) Ministry of Health data released last month under freedom of information laws reveal that 6,007 patients contracted COVID in the state’s public hospitals in 2023. This contributed to the death of 297 people, meaning that 14 percent of fatal COVID infections in the state were acquired in hospital.

The data, which also cover the first four months of this year, show that similar infection and death rates have continued, with 1,729 patients catching COVID in NSW hospitals and 86 dying, between the start of January and the end of April.

The NSW figures are in line with previously uncovered Victorian data, which showed that 6,212 patients contracted COVID in the state’s public hospitals and 586 died in 2022 and 2023.

This is a direct product of the conscious and planned abolition of virtually all public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID, including the removal of mask mandates in hospitals. These pro-business “forever COVID” policies, adopted by all governments worldwide, have in Australia been spearheaded by Labor at the state and federal level.

The NSW hospital infection figures were unearthed through a persistent 18-month campaign by lawyer Peter Vogel. His first Government Information Public Access application to the Ministry of Health was made in February 2023. This was rebuffed, with the Ministry claiming, according to Vogel, “It would take 140 hours to produce a report showing [the] number of hospital acquired COVID cases.”

After Vogel requested an internal review, the Ministry replied in July 2023 that it “does not hold complete and accurate records regarding nosocomial [hospital-acquired] infections.”

Only in June 2024, after multiple additional freedom of information requests to other agencies and repeated denials that any part of the NSW government or health bureaucracy had records of hospital-acquired infection, did the Ministry of Health admit that it held the information the lawyer sought. Even then, it claimed it would take 31 hours to produce a report, and Vogel would have to pay $930 for it. The data were finally provided to Vogel on September 17.

This is just one example of the extent to which serious illness and death from the ongoing COVID pandemic is being consciously covered up by the state and federal Labor governments. With the aid of the corporate media, virtually all reporting of the deadly virus has been suppressed, to provide phoney justification for the profit-driven and unscientific abolition of basic infection control measures.

The entire testing and reporting infrastructure has been eviscerated. Only two states, NSW and Western Australia (WA), continue to test wastewater samples for COVID, while hospitalisation figures in most jurisdictions are only reported intermittently.

Most strikingly, COVID deaths are no longer reported in NSW, Queensland, WA or the Northern Territory, except as part of overall mortality statistics, released months after the fact. The presentation of these national mortality figures, produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), has been modified to obfuscate the substantial increase in annual deaths, which is ongoing.

According to the outdated and incomplete official figures, COVID contributed significantly or was the main cause of more than 23,500 deaths between January 2022 and September 2024, around one-quarter of which occurred in residential aged care facilities.

In a grim refutation of the lie that the pandemic is over, COVID-contributed fatalities this year have occurred at a rate of 497.5 per month, barely lower than the 512 per month recorded in 2023.

The fact that so many fatal COVID infections have been contracted in health and aged care settings underscores that, in line with capitalist governments worldwide, Australia’s state and federal Labor governments are committing social murder, targeted at the most vulnerable people in society.

Dr Stéphane Bouchoucha, president of the Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control, told the ABC the NSW hospital infection data was “concerning and tragic.”

He said: “This is the core business of infection prevention and control… The premise that we can allow some deaths, to me, is wrong.

“We know how COVID is transmitted and we know how to prevent healthcare associated infections,” Bouchoucha stated, referring to the need to ensure good ventilation and air filtration, testing and contact tracing, isolating infected patients and requiring healthcare workers to wear masks.

Many of these measures were introduced in the early stages of the pandemic and had a significant impact in reducing the spread of infection within health facilities, but have since been abandoned.

This flies in the face of decades of medical advances and longstanding infection control measures in hospitals. For example, there are long-established protocols for identifying and preventing the spread of infections with “golden” staphylococcus, a hospital-acquired bacteria that can be resistant to antibiotics.

In NSW, the tearing down of COVID public health measures began under the Perrottet Liberal-National government, but has been completed under the Labor government led by Premier Chris Minns. This could not have been carried out without the assistance of the health unions, which have enforced every reckless and unscientific step of the process.

In 2022, Health Services Union (HSU) national president and NSW state secretary Gerard Hayes was at the forefront of demands for the scrapping of COVID isolation requirements for health staff, because of the supposed impact of such measures on “the economy.”

In August 2023, the HSU hailed the NSW Labor government’s scrapping of public hospital mask mandates as “a milestone in health.”

The HSU, along with the NSW Nurses and Midwives’ Association, promote the lie that COVID is a thing of the past, entirely separate from workers’ disputes over pay and conditions in recent years. These struggles have included multiple mass strikes by more than 10,000 nurses and midwives, but year after year, the union leaders have pushed through sell-out deals, slashing real wages in line with government demands.

The reality is that the fight for decent working conditions in health is inseparable from the fight to end the COVID pandemic, which has massively exacerbated the dire state of the public hospital system, which faces a chronic shortage of staff and resources after decades of union-enforced government cuts.

To take this forward, health workers will have to take matters into their own hands. Rank-and-file committees, independent of the unions, must be established in hospitals and health facilities and the fight for patient and staff safety linked with the struggle for real improvements to workers’ pay and conditions.

In the first instance, this must include the re-implementation of infection control measures, including masks and isolation, in all health workplaces. But as long as the virus is allowed to circulate unchecked among the broader population, protecting hospital patients and staff will be a constant battle.

A fight must be taken up, by health workers and the working class as a whole, for the elimination of COVID worldwide. This is possible, but not under the framework of the capitalist system, which rejects public health measures as unprofitable, and not within the borders of a single country.

Workers in Australia and worldwide confront the existential necessity of a struggle for a political alternative to the ruling class program of endless infection, illness and death. Only through the fight for a workers’ government to implement socialist policies, can society’s plentiful resources be stripped from the banks and corporations and turned towards ridding the world of COVID and making high-quality public healthcare freely available to all.

Am I (18F) the asshole for reality checking my sister (22F)

For context, my sister was put in residential care after a psychotic episode and as of today has been there for a while. Since then she’s come out of it I guess, but has been in denial about the whole thing, and her health in general. The facility is pretty far away from my home but I try to visit as regularly as possible as I’m the only member of our family who’s really able to do so. While there I usually get an update from the facility about how she’s been doing, which as of late hasn’t been great. Despite this every time I’ve spoken to her she’s insisted she’s doing fine, and very obviously changes the topic when I try to get more out of her.

Knowing her I feel like the denial is some attempt to regain control, but I can’t help but feel like she’s purposefully keeping things from me because of our age gap.

Either way, I felt like her keeping this from me, and pretending everything was fine, wasn’t productive. And last week when i visited her I confronted her about it. I can’t quote myself but essentially after she told me she was doing fine, again, and tried to change the topic, again, I called bullshit and reminded her the staff wouldn’t be telling me we needed to extend her stay, again, if she was doing fine.

She got really quiet and ended our meeting pretty soon after, and since then hasn’t been returning my calls.

AITA??

Peri and her family moved to Briar Ridge when she was seven after her father accepted a position as a professor within a nearby university's Islamic World Studies program. Although her parents were for the most part loving she grew up under a cloud of constant exasperation and lack of understanding on their end. Feeling suffocated by never quite being "enough" or "just right" in their eyes she left town after graduation.

She's pretty much lived all over as an adult and even has a few assignments through Doctors Without Borders under her belt but she hasn't lived in Briar Ridge since the day she left. Well, not until about 3-4 weeks ago. Having been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's her mom has been placed in a memory care facility a few towns away, with her dad relocating there to be closer, and Peri's back (temporarily, she swears) to settle things with their house.

My foster mom has a sibling set of three right now, ages 6, 9, and 11. They have been with her for almost a year now, and there are some things that make me both very sad and very angry. As someone who grew up in the system, I learned as much as I could about how the system works, what my diagnosis was, what it meant, etc. I also have an interest in psychology that is my current major. I am not an expert by any means, but I do know certain things based on first hand experience or watching the people I grew up with who had different experiences. The girls have had behavior problems the entire time they have lived with my foster mom. My foster mom has talked to their therapist, caseworker, and GAL about these behaviors to try to get them to help her. The behaviors that they are having are all signs that something is either going on at the visits with mom, or that some stuff has happened when they lived at home that was not okay. Nobody on their team has done anything about it. They leave my foster mom to try to navigate and help these girls on her own. My foster parents have been foster parents for 40 years, and they amazing at what they do, but they are not therapists. They do what they can to help us, but there are some things that they can’t help with because they aren’t trained to. You know who is trained in these behaviors? Their therapist, who is not working with them on what is going on, and their caseworker who thinks everything is fine. The things the 6 year old says and does and not age appropriate for a 6 year old. There are a million red flags right now and their team is turning a blind eye. These girls are hurting, they’re confused, and they’re scared. They need a level of support that they are not getting, and it not fair to them, to my foster parents, or to the other children living in the home with them. These behaviors are the kind that I saw everyday in residential treatment facilities, but Colorado closed all therapeutic facilities like that. I’ve talked about it before and I’m bring it up again, we need residential treatment facilities because we don’t have the resources not to. If there were support systems in place to replace facilities, it would be a different story, but instead they have removed a huge piece of treatment for youth with trauma and failed to offer another solution. While I firmly stand against keeping youth in facilities long term to the point where they become institutionalized like I did, I also believe that when used correctly those facilities can dramatically help youth with the fact that their lives have been flipped upside and backwards. The system is so broken that are no words to even explain it unless you know, it’s a feeling not something you can explain. A broken system hurts people more than it helps them. The system is failing three innocent girls right now and I am watching it happen. It’s like watching myself be failed from the perspective of an adult, and it sucks. Those girls are going to grow up and feel as lost and angry and hurt and confused as I do, and I hate that. I understand the limited resources, funds, and personnel within the foster care system, but as some point we have to do better. It’s toxic for everyone involved from the youth to foster parents. It shouldn’t be like this.

E.P.A. Toughens Requirements to Remove Lead Paint Dust Around Children. (New York Times)

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

The Biden administration said Thursday that it was strengthening requirements for homes and child-care facilities to remove lead-based paint dust, a move that could better protect more than 300,000 children a year from the toxic metal.

Under the new rules, any detectable level of lead dust in the building would be considered a “lead hazard,” and property owners would be required to pay for cleanup. Property and business owners who could be affected expressed concern about potential cleanup costs.

Lead is a potent neurotoxin, and exposure can damage the brain and nervous system, particularly in babies and children. Manufacturers once commonly added lead to paint to make it more durable, resistant to moisture and faster-drying.

The federal government banned lead-based paint for residential use in 1978. Still, the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 31 million dwellings built before that year still contain lead-based paint, 3.8 million of which are home to one or more children under the age of 6.

The new rule applies to facilities regularly used by children 6 years old or younger, including child-care centers, preschools and kindergarten classrooms. The E.P.A. says many of the buildings subject to the new rule are older structures located in low-income neighborhoods.

It does not require property owners or child-care facilities to proactively test for lead dust. But if a child showed symptoms of lead exposure, through a blood test or other measure, the rule would trigger state and local requirements for testing.

At that point, if lead were detected, property owners would be required to pay for cleanup. That includes the lead that can remain in a building even after lead paint is removed, such as in the wake of a renovation.

Previous standards allowed for lead to remain in homes up to 10 micrograms per square foot for floors, and 100 micrograms per square foot for windowsills. The new rule would also require homeowners to disclose any lead-test results to potential buyers.

These past 3.5 months have seen me working (sadly unpaid!) at a very large residential aged care facility as a student social worker. I've enjoyed my time immensely, it was such a positive placement and I had so much fun and learnt a lot of skills. But it was full-time, often working 10 hours a day, so I couldn't keep up with fandom stuff.

But now I am BACK y'all. And you can bet your lil tushies I'm gonna be screaming about that Fallout trailer until April.

As an aside I'm sharing some photos of some friends I made recently.

Palestine

The Palestinian territories, including the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, have been at the heart of one of the longest and most contentious conflicts in modern history. The ongoing struggle for Palestinian rights, sovereignty, and dignity continues to shape the lives of millions and demands the world's attention and action.

Historical Context:

The roots of the Palestinian struggle date back to the early 20th century, with the end of Ottoman rule and the subsequent British mandate. The creation of the state of Israel in 1948, following a UN partition plan, led to the first Arab-Israeli war and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, an event known as the Nakba (catastrophe). Since then, multiple wars, uprisings (Intifadas), and a complex web of negotiations and peace processes have failed to resolve the conflict.

Occupation and Human Rights Violations:

The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip began after the Six-Day War in 1967 and continues to this day. The occupation has been marked by the construction of settlements deemed illegal under international law, severe restrictions on movement, home demolitions, and land confiscations. The blockade of Gaza has created a humanitarian crisis, with its residents facing dire living conditions, limited access to basic services, and repeated military confrontations.

The Current Situation in Gaza:

In recent months, Gaza has witnessed a significant escalation in violence. The ongoing conflict between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups has resulted in a devastating loss of life and widespread destruction. Israeli airstrikes and artillery fire have targeted infrastructure, residential buildings, and even medical facilities, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation.

One of the most harrowing aspects of the conflict is the systematic use of excessive force and the killing of innocent civilians by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Israeli journalist Oren Ziv recently published a story that confirms IDF soldiers do not follow any regulations when murdering people in Gaza. According to the article, an anonymous IDF soldier revealed that soldiers have no restrictions when it comes to shooting civilians—they can target anyone, regardless of age or gender. The soldier admitted that they were aware they were killing innocent civilians . You can read the article here.

The blockade of Gaza, now in its 17th year, has crippled the economy and left the majority of its population dependent on humanitarian aid. The lack of access to clean water, electricity, and medical supplies has created a public health crisis, with hospitals struggling to cope with the influx of casualties and chronic shortages.

Daily Realities for Palestinians:

For Palestinians, daily life is fraught with challenges. Checkpoints and the separation wall restrict movement, access to medical care, education, and employment. Settler violence and military incursions contribute to a climate of fear and instability. In East Jerusalem, Palestinian residents face the threat of forced evictions and loss of residency rights.

International Law and Humanitarian Concerns:

Numerous international bodies, including the United Nations, have condemned Israeli policies and actions in the occupied territories. Reports from human rights organizations document systematic abuses, including the use of excessive force, arbitrary detention, and collective punishment. Despite these condemnations, meaningful action to hold violators accountable remains elusive.

Calls for Global Solidarity:

As global citizens, we must stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people in their quest for justice, freedom, and self-determination. Amplifying Palestinian voices, supporting humanitarian efforts, and advocating for international accountability are crucial steps toward a just and lasting peace. Grassroots movements, such as the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) campaign, aim to apply non-violent pressure to end the occupation and secure Palestinian rights.

Here are some ways you can help and donate to support relief efforts in Palestine. Times are tough for many right now, but even small contributions can make a big difference. If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing these resources and spreading awareness can also help.

What to Look for When Buying Residential Properties in Dubai

Buying residential properties in Dubai requires careful consideration of various factors to ensure you make a wise investment. This blog outlines what to look for when buying residential properties in Dubai.

For more information on real estate, visit Dubai Real Estate.

Location

Proximity to Amenities: Choose a location that offers easy access to essential amenities such as schools, healthcare facilities, shopping malls, and public transportation. Proximity to these amenities enhances the property's value and convenience.

Future Development Plans: Research future development plans in the area, including infrastructure projects, commercial developments, and recreational facilities. Areas with planned developments often experience appreciation in property values.

Neighborhood Safety: Ensure the neighborhood is safe and secure. Check crime rates and the presence of security measures such as gated communities and surveillance systems.

For property purchase options, explore Invest in Dubai Real Estate.

Property Condition

Structural Integrity: Inspect the property for any structural issues, such as cracks, leaks, or foundation problems. A property in good structural condition requires less maintenance and ensures a longer lifespan.

Interior and Exterior Finishes: Evaluate the quality of the interior and exterior finishes, including flooring, walls, roofing, and fixtures. High-quality finishes enhance the property's appeal and durability.

Age of the Property: Consider the age of the property. Newer properties may require less maintenance, while older properties might have historical charm but could need renovations.

For mortgage services, consider Mortgage Company in UAE.

Developer Reputation

Track Record: Research the developer's track record and reputation in the market. Established developers with a history of delivering high-quality projects on time are usually a safer choice.

Customer Reviews: Look for customer reviews and testimonials from previous buyers. Positive feedback and satisfied customers indicate the developer's reliability and commitment to quality.

Completed Projects: Visit completed projects by the developer to assess their construction quality, design, and overall appeal. This provides insights into what you can expect from the property you are considering.

For rental property management, visit Rent Your Property in Dubai.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Title Deed Verification: Ensure the property has a clear title and is free from any legal disputes or encumbrances. The DLD provides title deed verification services to help buyers confirm the property's legal status.

Sales Agreement: Review the sales agreement carefully and seek legal advice if needed. Ensure all terms and conditions are clearly outlined, including the price, payment schedule, and any additional costs.

Permits and Approvals: Verify that the property has all the necessary permits and approvals from relevant authorities. This includes building permits, occupancy certificates, and compliance with zoning regulations.

For property sales, visit sell your house.

Investment Potential

Rental Yield: Research the potential rental yield of the property. High rental yields indicate strong demand and profitability for rental properties. Areas with high rental demand, such as those near business districts or tourist attractions, tend to offer better returns.

Capital Appreciation: Consider the potential for capital appreciation. Properties in areas with ongoing infrastructure development, economic growth, and high demand are more likely to appreciate in value over time.

Market Trends: Stay informed about market trends and economic indicators that impact property values. This includes factors such as interest rates, inflation, and government policies affecting the real estate sector.

Real-Life Success Story

Consider the case of James, an investor who successfully bought a residential property in Jumeirah Village Circle. James conducted thorough research, inspected the property's condition, and chose a reputable developer. By following the guidelines outlined in this blog, James secured a high-yield investment and has seen significant appreciation in property value.

Future Trends in Dubai Real Estate

Sustainable Developments: There is a growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable properties in Dubai. Developers are increasingly incorporating green building practices and energy-efficient features into their projects.

Smart Homes: The adoption of smart home technology is on the rise. Properties equipped with advanced security systems, automated lighting, and climate control are becoming more popular.

Mixed-Use Communities: Integrated communities that offer a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational facilities are gaining popularity. These developments provide residents with a convenient and holistic living experience.

Conclusion

When buying residential properties in Dubai, it is essential to consider factors such as location, property condition, developer reputation, legal compliance, and investment potential. By paying attention to these aspects, you can make a well-informed decision and secure a valuable investment. For more resources and expert advice, visit Dubai Real Estate.
