1/ "Open letter to Federal, State and Territory Australian health leaders on the removal of mask wearing in clinical areas" The time to set a target of ZERO TRANSMISSION OF RESPIRATORY VIRUSES IN HEALTHCARE is now. Please read and share. 👇 dropbox.com/s/p27ezn6vkhj3…
Anyone out there with knowledge of epigenetics who can comment on the potential epigenetic consequences of Covid for the grandchildren of my grandchildren?
You know I said two of the nurses on the unit were positive? They are all testing positive now and the nurse on overnight doesn't know when she can go home as there's no one to replace her. We are 400km from the next hospital. But sure, no need to cut transmission.
Not since the 14th century has #LetItRip been considered an infectious disease strategy.

All views my own.The point about the COVID pandemic is it has shown how susceptible we are and the only certainty is it will happen again. If it isn't this round of H5N1, it will be another virus in the future. And guess what we'll say when it comes round: "No-one could have predicted this!"
Gotta love the seamless transition from minimizing COVID risk to complacencymongering about avian flu risk. Don't worry, the mutations that made it better at infecting mammals don't make it good at transmitting among humans. As if this isn't another *major* warning sign.
I do laugh at all these "There will never be another lockdown" people. If there is ever a full-on H5N1 human to human pandemic with 50% mortality, governments won't NEED to mandate a lockdown. People will do it automatically. Of course, it could be avoided - N95s, clean air...

Amazing how lockdowns supposedly did very little for Covid and were unnecessary, but also have created enormous immunity gaps for everything else. 🤔
Everything's so grim, isn't it? So here's one of the world's very best views - Aoraki/Mt Cook - taken today, and a shot of the sublime light in the mountains of these parts, taken a few days ago.
Professor Bennett. The Oracle of the Pandemic. Where would we be if we had not had her wise words to guide us through? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
"Rising numbers of COVID cases ahead of Christmas but preparation now is key." "Professor Bennett said if people heeded warnings, the severity of the wave could be dissipated by Christmas." 🤦♂️ #COVID19 #Australia #BunkerBennett #COVIDisNotOver canberratimes.com.au/story/8413470/…
I constantly think I'm going mad.
Me too, to the extent of having to re-examine all my assumptions about society, science and the application of reason.
I'm genuinely surprised by the general acceptance of ongoing declining life-expectancy (fueled by C0VID-driven XS death), of a large chronic disease burden, of the worry of poor long-term outcomes in almost everyone, & of lack of concern for more at-risk people. It's a new thing.

@CollignonPeter Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. We are in a very bad place when the person in literal charge of the country's infection control is citing obscure 50 year old articles with 68 citations, postulating implausible mechanisms, which never led to further research.
@CollignonPeter We need infection control experts with their feet on the ground and a sound grasp of epistemology, who are capable of parsing new information accurately, understanding its implications and then acting in ways that may challenge the sensibilities of existing grandees.

@YouAreLobbyLud So many in high-income countries have no idea how protected they are from dreadful things that used to happen to everyone, at any time. They think that being safe is the norm. It is not. It takes a colossal amount of infrastructure & expertise to keep a population safe and well.
