This clip is from a 2.5 hour talk by experts on long covid, summarising the latest research. Totally worth listening to the whole thing, to understand the long term risks even in those who do not have LC symptoms.

Mysterious.... Hmmmmm... Nah🦠🦠💥 Apparently, if performers use the C-Word, there's no insurance for the cancellation. Explains the countless "mystery" illnesses, Jenny

Oh My Goodness.... This really isn't good news😖😖 Suggests widespread community spread is already well underway. I've got a bad feeling about the next couple of months💔

@CronkyLady Adrian Esterman | Epidemiology Even he should know the RO numbers are useless when you don't know the numbers.

The predictive indicator of rise is LITTERALY OFF MY SCALE! Record level risk now here.

Denis - The COVID info guy - Amazing how they only bring in these extra measures once a wave is well underway. Wouldn’t you think a little bit of prevention would be better? Rather than going into damage control when things are already spiralling 🤷🏻

@CronkyLady Adrian Esterman | Epidemiology Totally agree with you. He constantly backflips( must suffer from severe whiplash by now) and sends mixed messages. I think he's a coward.

Amazing, Chris J. Maddison Our government managed to find $37mill for Long Cövid... But, $360bill for submarines.... Go figure🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Denis - The COVID info guy - Roger Cook When are you going to return mandatory masks to clinical settings in WA Hospitals Roger Cook ?

I will never accept that caring for the suffering of the Palestinians, objecting to the occupation and wanting the Palestinians to be free is anti-Israeli or antisemitic. But I will also never accept that massacre and kidnapping of civilians is part of legitimate "resistance".

Denis - The COVID info guy - Roger Cook Maybe you could reconsider bringing masks back to hospitals?

Denis - The COVID info guy - @chriswallace.bsky.social Geniuses. What took so long?

Thank You My Very Dear Friend @drclairetaylor Despite your own battles and adversity, still a warrior for the many damaged of which we so often speak. Proud to stand beside you, Dr Rae Duncan Binita Kane Dr Asad Khan FRCP FRACP 🇵🇸🇳🇿🇮🇳#pwLC Unflinching resolve, and an unswerving streak off humanity

Mark Butler MP Sorry, you CANNOT claim that “health has been the top priority” for governments while #COVID19 runs rampant and unmitigated, and the long COVID inquiry report is gathering dust somewhere. #auspol #health AMA Media Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President PHAA is on Bluesky RACGP The Royal Australasian College of Physicians

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. John Flint

With the emergence of JN.1 we’ve entered a new phase of the pandemic. We need to re-think the risks of accepting wave after wave of infection The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand Suman Majumdar Stuart Turville Prof Brendan Crabb Emma Pakula bit.ly/3SiHiUq
