Plum Stone @plumskyjam discussing the new initiative she has founded - the Safer Air Project saferairproject.com
Looking back on Queensland CHO Dr John Gerrard’s statements about C-VID, it is startling how wrong he has been. His advice has been wildly optimistic and at odds with the emerging science. Watch to the end to hear what experts think of his views. Full analysis in next tweet 👇
Short 🧵 Many use today as a day to mark significance in the @COVID19 pandemic. I welcome any way in which we can raise attention to COVID-19, to remember our loved ones lost-and still losing- but also to ensure that we continue to act to tackle the current threat of COVID-19.
In most states, schools haven’t been given good guidance on how to deal with COVID, or even why they should care about it. This course will help them provide a safer environment for kids and teachers. Thanks @Flinty_01 @BrendanCrabbAC @drajm

@Hayley_Gleeson I don't need to imagine losing a loved one to nosocomial Covid. A close relative of mine died last year after being infected with SC2 on the ward. On 04 February 2024, 72% of inpatient Covid cases here in Wales were the result of nosocomial infection... x.com/gwladwr/status…

imagine losing a loved one because they caught covid in hospital, a place they should’ve been safe. is it ok for kids to catch covid in ICU? cancer patients? nurses? as hospitals roll back precautions, too many are catching the virus and dying, doctors say abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…
A "curve ball" alright, with substantial implications for what we might expect in the future - dramatic 'omicron-like' shifts can & presumably will keep happening - didn't know that bf Pirola/JN.1. But even without it, we had a problem that demanded the same response. @Flinty_01

This doesn't mean it's no longer exceptional, requiring doing a lot. Data hard to find but 2023 toll will be v large (8,000 XS deaths to 31 July). US ahead on vax (XBB) & their availability (rec for everyone >6 months), airborne controls & testing for example. Why so different?

The dismantling of the Australian COVID-19 case reporting is hiding the scale (or even existence) of the current wave of community transmission sweeping across the country. 🧵
And ~50,000 or so Australian's lived bc the country took a path to live without C0VID. Wasn't easy, border closures & some major lockdowns (esp. Melb & Syd), but most people lived virus- & LD-free for all of 2020-21.

An excellent piece. We really do have things 'upside down'. #LongCovid
Major media continued its assault on Long COVID patients by denying their very existence on Long COVID Awareness Day. As the voices of the victims of "let it rip" (unchecked disease spread) get louder, attempts to silence them intensify. New from me: thegauntlet.news/p/media-celebr…
As a neurologist specializing in #Dysautonomia, I see patients with #LongCovid every day. Most of these patients were vaccinated and had either no or minimal health problems prior to #Covid. I am going to be honest: even those Long Covid patients that have improved are at risk of…
There's a lot of bad information out there about how covid damages the immune system It really doesn’t But you know what does? Measles And thanks to the antivaxers We are seeing measles outbreaks again Encourage people to get their kids vaccinated It’s really important
Short 🧵 Many use today as a day to mark significance in the @COVID19 pandemic. I welcome any way in which we can raise attention to COVID-19, to remember our loved ones lost-and still losing- but also to ensure that we continue to act to tackle the current threat of COVID-19.
In most states, schools haven’t been given good guidance on how to deal with COVID, or even why they should care about it. This course will help them provide a safer environment for kids and teachers. Thanks @Flinty_01 @BrendanCrabbAC @drajm

“We don’t let our kids get sunburnt because of the risk of skin cancer. We shouldn’t let them get infected with SARS-CoV-2 either, because we know it can have serious long-term effects.” bit.ly/3UIFgQf
@Hayley_Gleeson "But the liability is accumulating for people who should know better than to be permissive about COVID infection in healthcare facilities." Yes, the call is coming from inside the house. ID/IPAC experts need to explain why they refuse to do better, because they DO know better.
@Hayley_Gleeson I don't need to imagine losing a loved one to nosocomial Covid. A close relative of mine died last year after being infected with SC2 on the ward. On 04 February 2024, 72% of inpatient Covid cases here in Wales were the result of nosocomial infection... x.com/gwladwr/status…
Nosocomial Covid in Wales 'Number of inpatient Covid cases in hospital in Wales' On 04 February 2024, 72% of inpatient Covid cases were the result of nosocomial infection... (PHW data)
imagine losing a loved one because they caught covid in hospital, a place they should’ve been safe. is it ok for kids to catch covid in ICU? cancer patients? nurses? as hospitals roll back precautions, too many are catching the virus and dying, doctors say abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…
A "curve ball" alright, with substantial implications for what we might expect in the future - dramatic 'omicron-like' shifts can & presumably will keep happening - didn't know that bf Pirola/JN.1. But even without it, we had a problem that demanded the same response. @Flinty_01

This recent spike in Singapore (to first week of Dec) likely driven by JN.1. The smaller wave behind it was EG.5-like viruses as Mike Honey shows. No two places are exactly the same but we should prepare for things to be similar here. Strong PH messaging needed. #COVID19Aus
Here's the latest variant picture for Singapore. BA.2.86.* "Pirola" (70%) is now clearly dominant, rapidly displacing EG.5.* "Eris" (26%) during November. 🧵
Txt from sick friend in ED as patient: "I could hear the nurse on the phone talking about staffing & that someone had been here since 6pm last night (now 1:15pm next day) & hasn't been able to go home & she ate outside the door & that was her break" Healthcare crisis in real time
@AndrewHewat @sidherian @TraceySpicer @DavidJoffe64 @NjbBari3 @RealOzSAGE @GourlaySyd @MarcTennant @profmiketoole @Globalbiosec @AlanBixter @drPLeach @ToshiAkima @k_eagar Yes, as a media and communications scholar who did my doctorate on press reporting of AIDS, I can tell you that unless there’s some new angle, journalists won’t see continuing waves as newsworthy and therefore won’t report them
This doesn't mean it's no longer exceptional, requiring doing a lot. Data hard to find but 2023 toll will be v large (8,000 XS deaths to 31 July). US ahead on vax (XBB) & their availability (rec for everyone >6 months), airborne controls & testing for example. Why so different?
We may have passed the emergency phase of the COVID pandemic in Australia (this was our story today: theage.com.au/national/a-sli…), but readers still have a lot of thoughts.
The dismantling of the Australian COVID-19 case reporting is hiding the scale (or even existence) of the current wave of community transmission sweeping across the country. 🧵
And ~50,000 or so Australian's lived bc the country took a path to live without C0VID. Wasn't easy, border closures & some major lockdowns (esp. Melb & Syd), but most people lived virus- & LD-free for all of 2020-21.
And there was no 'catch-up' death - debunking a common myth. All countries have suffered similarly (albeit terribly) since re-opening/omicron, ie, no relationship to how much excess death beforehand. Australia has had 30,000+ excess deaths since re-opening, & this is ongoing.
