Alina complaining that Tucker put words in her mouth. https://twitter.com/Ayjchan/status/1392167148185923594 Hmmmmm A lesson I never really learned too well. "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."

Serves her right. The Aus govt have just announced that our borders will be closed until mid-2022 so I won't be going to a CCP holiday camp any time soon.

Mid 2022? Is that instead of vaccinating?

The vaccine roll-out is going really slowly....glacial. People feel safe on our isolated island with no COVID. It's obviously ridiculous because we'll never eradicate the virus and so will have to bite the bullet at some point, but closed borders and no COVID is a huge vote winner. Totally fucks the universities though.
