AIHS Repeating the ‘Race to 80’ and ‘Live With COVID’ Rhetoric

August 28, 2021 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

AIHS Repeating the ‘Race to 80’ and ‘Live With COVID’ Rhetoric Interesting to see the AIHS buying the cool-aid of the ‘Race to 80’ and ‘live with COVID’ rhetoric. This is NOT the discourse of the Doherty Report . At best, this idea of ‘race to 80’, language of ‘freedom’ and ‘living with COVID’ are … [Read more...] about AIHS Repeating the ‘Race to 80’ and ‘Live With COVID’ Rhetoric

Controls, Controllers and Controlling in Safety

March 27, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

March 23, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

One of the rewards of ‘dumb down’in post social media age is the rewarding of ignorance, conspiracy theories, armchair experts and lunacy. Amazing what one can learn on the back of a postage stamp.
