@joeo10 It’s possible (at least in Australia) to deny Zoom access to China-based servers, although when so set, a warning is given of possible service degradation.
I’m a big fan of Jitsi as well, it’s more effective with older folk who don’t have much in the way of online computer skills.

@joeo10 Credit unions are still quite large concerns, although a newer ban company encourages smaller communities to raise funds to open a community branch which account holders own a tiny parcel of non-voting & non-dividend shares. Such shares are required to open an account.
These local community banks have a reputation for donating to local groups.

Seems the latest wave of Covid hitting us is the Indian variant. Entire State of Victoria goes into lockdown for at least seven days starting tonight at 11:59 PM.
A five km limit is imposed, you can leave home for any of five reasons: education, caregiving, food and supplies, exercise for two hours and to go and get vaccinated.
@variablepulserate There’s also the Fremantle Doctor. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php
@matigo Often enough. I doze off and it falls under the sofa or between cushions.
First AstraZeneca COVID injection administered this morning. I attended a centre set up underneath a racecourse grandstand 40 minutes drive from home. This centre allows for walk in patients as well as those with appointments, I was in the former category and was treated within 20 minutes of arrival. Then spent 15 minutes being monitored for side-effects before being allowed out.
My next injection is due in 12 weeks.
Seems vets around the city are sending condolence cards to folk like myself who have had pets euthanised. I received one, as did my sister (who lives 80 km away) when her cat was “put to sleep.”
