My hypothesis is that the horrendous music is on purpose, as a way to get you to hang up and stop bothering them. Sure, the 2-hour wait times could just be because they're too cheap to hire enough staff but what reason could there be t

It’s pretty much because they don’t want people going more than 5km away from their houses so as to make enforcement easier. Also, Melbourne is locked out from the rest of the state with police roadblocks due to low cases in the country an

Even better: they’re in your bloodstream, fighting disease. Say there’s some cancer, they’ll destroy it before you even think about it. If there’s plaque in your arteries they’d be able to remove it, they could repair damage from injuries,
