the people are generous , nothing is too much trouble for them , they are not like the perception we get over the tv waves.

Agree, only been there once, the people, particularly in N.Y., particularly when they heard we were from Aussie, were SUPER friendly, couldn't do enough for us....A GREAT place IMHO.

Will Australia get a second more severe wave of coronavirus?

Excellent article. Hopefully it will calm some unnecessary fears.
Leave bats alone so you don't get bitten, and fence off livestock from bat roosting areas, and there isn't a problem.
Get vaccinated if you ever need to handle bats.

Briefly pause to step sideways for some uplifting news...

- An AUSTRALIAN designed and built ventilator on the way for approvals... which goes to show that not only can we (AUS) produce something useful but do it in a unique and virtually fool-proof fashion, using off-the-shelf parts. Can be powered by mains, 12V, internal battery or compressed air.

in short, it takes the standard issue, 'Ventilation Bag' and precisely squeezes it. Bet no-one else thought of that !
