My long journey to get the NSW hospital-acquired COVID figures!. I filed a GIPA (Government Information Public Access application) asking the NSW Ministry of Health how many people caught COVID in hospital, and how many had died, on 6th Feb 2023 (GIPA-23/35). Answer: It would.

The early Obama days didn't have the digital tools we have now, so it's difficult to compare, but I remember enough about the specifics of the time to know that there's something very unusual happening again now.

Does anyone on here have any Australian BBSes archived? I'd appreciate it if what's left of twitter could do it's thing. I'm interested anyway, but it's obviously quite topical rn, so it'd be a great time to get them widely seen. 😉 #bbs #comphist #digitalheritage.
