I’ve decided to follow my own PH advice. N95 and no indoor socialising. Who the fuck is in charge of Australia? All the medical experts can see the evolving train wreck but the politicians spouting business as usual #Omicron #Covid_19 #Queensland #ScottyDoesNothing

If you're in government, & asking people to get boosters that aren't available, & use rapid antigen tests that aren't free, & telling the public that we're facing a 'mild' disease, & that masks are some sort of optional fascinators, you're not governing. You're gaslighting.

NEW—scientists at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research will soon announce that they have developed a vaccine that protects people from COVID-19 and all its variants, even #Omicron, called The ‘Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine’, or SpFN. 🧵 defenseone.com/technology/202…

Love it

It certainly is not “just a cold”

If his visa was denied, why was he not put on the next available flight home? Now, he wants to be moved to a hotel with a tennis court. You cannot make this shit up. #Djoker #Novak #AO2022 #Djokovic

Absolutely

What an absolute knob if a journalist. #qldfloods

#CovidIsNotOver

It. Isn’t. Just. A. Cold. I’m tired of politicians and the media trying to justify this disease as “mild” I’d like to keep my brain and organs functioning for as long as I can.

May I strongly suggest that if you decline to wear a mask, can you kindly manage your covid at home. This HCW is literally at the end of her fucking tether. #Covid_19 #CovidIsNotOver #COVIDisAirborne #hospitals

Pretty clear that the majority of those sitting on the opposition benches don’t give a shit about HCW’s and the state of the hospital system . Wear a fucking mask #Covid_19 #COVIDisAirborne #auspol #MaskUp Anthony Albanese

My current observations of work this week So many sick kids. So many sick young adults. So many sick HCW. So many sick. #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver

2 v. important studies on COVID and type I diabetes in children out recently in JAMA showing: -Children infected early in life - 2x higher risk of developing auto-antibodies associated with type I diabetes -for those infected <18 months risk was 5x higher than those not infected

Our kids deserve better.

I need to bake cupcakes but I’m in awe of just how knowledgeable Justice Lee and Dr Collin’s are. Finding it hard to step away from the TV. #Lehrmann

Too many patients are catching COVID in Australian hospitals, doctors say. | ABC news "COVID is too often being treated by hospitals as a common cold when it should be treated as seriously as tuberculosis, Dr Andrew Miller says" abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…

"COVID is not a simple respiratory illness, it's a multi-system inflammatory illness that needs to be taken seriously. It's Queensland Health's responsibility to ensure they're providing a safe workplace for their workers." Dr Maria Boulton #MedTwitter abc.net.au/news/2024-02-1…

Why does he need antivirals if COVID is just a cold? And he's young and fit? You know why, because it's not just a cold. And why the hell are some considered more special than others and given access to antivirals while the rest of the common folk in Australia are denied access?

Astonishing. Olympic athletes are being given covid antivirals like candy, while here in England, fewer than 7% of the population are eligible. theguardian.com/sport/article/…
