It was an absurd farce. Within 24 hours, Johnson had gone from reassuring the public that schools were safe to admitting they may be “vectors for transmission”. The mass-testing capabilities that schools had built over the Christmas break, when they could have been putting their energy and resources into setting up remote learning packages, were mothballed.
But Donna was oblivious to the chaos. Late in the evening of 3 January, her organs started to fail. On 6 January, Donna’s family got the call they had been dreading. “I wanted to hold her hand,” Steph says. “She wasn’t going on her own.” Vicki, Steph and Donna’s father were allowed to visit. They felt that Donna wasn’t in that sterile hospital room, but had already left her body. “I said: ‘Let’s do it. Put her at peace.’”
Steph and Vicki each took their sister’s hand. Their father held their hands. Doctors turned off the ventilator. “I lost Donna the minute they put her on the ventilator,” says Vicki. “When they rang up to say she wasn’t responding and her organs were failing, it was like someone just shot me. They tore my heart out that night.” After 10 minutes, at 8.45am, Donna died. Steph, Vicki and their father embraced, collected her things and went home.
Media watchdogs believe that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been in power at the federal level since 2014, simply cannot tolerate criticism and wants to control the public narrative.
“The government’s first instinct is to control information,” Pamela Philipose, media commentator and ombudsman for The Wire news outlet, told DW.
“Of course, pandemics lead to misinformation, but a blunt censorship tool such as wide-ranging takedowns is most unhelpful as it suppresses important information,” she added.
“Earlier, what we witnessed was shoot the messenger. Now, the government is shooting the platform too,” Sevanti Ninan, a media critic, told DW.
“Covering the pandemic is a huge challenge for the press and we need to know how it is playing it out on the ground,” said Ninan, who is founding editor of The Hoot, India’s first media watchdog.
“Everybody here wants to go back home because it’s very bad up here in India,” he said.
Mr Desai is one of around 9,000 Australians in India who want to come home, with 650 of those considered vulnerable.
But the government’s decision to pause flights from India to Australia means they won’t be able to leave any time soon.
“Because I am really very desperate to come to Australia, I feel heartbroken,” Mr Desai said.
“But I totally trust that what [the government] is doing is for the greater good of the community.
“They are looking out for all Australians, which is considered a COVID-free country and of course [the government] doesn’t want to start the spread of COVID.”

QAnon adherents and other far-right influencers are making thousands of dollars broadcasting election and vaccine conspiracy theories on the streaming site.
Continuing the saga of “ridicule that never ends” … the mismanagement of this “gentleman” passed his receipt of incompetence once again.

I’m relieved to say that my husband and I have received our second vaccine doses. He of course is feeling no side effects. I however have a few. In addition to a small rash again at the injection site and feeling like someone punched me in the arm, I got a vicious migraine about four hours after getting home from the doctors, which thankfully has lessened quite a bit today, and I’m a bit achy and extremely tired. Honestly though, I’m not complaining. These are side effects that I don’t mind at all as opposed to getting Covid-19. I’m sharing Chris Mann’s latest parody where he’s embracing his inner teen girl who’s just been vaccinated. While, I’m far from my teen years, and I’m definitely still going to be wearing a mask and social distancing indoors, I can definitely attest to the relief that two little shots can bestow.

This perhaps is the jarring lesson of COVID — nothing in life is certain, including death and taxes. Will you wake up tomorrow? Or will you wake up in a hospital bed with a tube jammed down your throat?
Frankly, you don’t know the answer to those questions. If you think you do, you’re lying to yourself.
The insurance industry hates uncertainty. That’s why they think in terms of groups, not individuals, and rely on the Central Limit Theorem to make accurate projections of risk. The CLT simply says that the larger the group, the closer any estimate will be to the “true” result. Underwriters want to calculate risk as finely as possible to estimate expected loss payouts, and then price policies to make their target profit margin. When they can’t calculate risk, the reaction is close to panic.
