on a slightly different tangent, I note due to silicosis, moves are afoot to ban artificial stone.

And yet, this is an industry that does benefit from mask use, worn correctly.

Yep, it really is clownworld. There are appropriate masks that protect workers from inhaling toxic substances, when used correctly. I would think these workers would be highly motivated to use PPE appropriately, unlike the general public with their COVID facial decorations.

As you know, titles in books and articles are crucial. So may I suggest

"Dr Christopher Neil, cardiologist and president of the Australian Medical Professionals Society (AMPS)"

is more informative than "This week in clownworld...".

Most people have never heard of AMPS so it's not necessarily more informative. Also, it's a lot less fun, and sometimes I just choose a title for fun!

I thought people were just taking the piss ...!
