To be clear, the only way to have minimal lockdown and open society in the absence of high vax (6 months away) is to pull the LD lever early. A protracted LD is now essential, the ironic product of trying to avoid it, but it needs a complete reset #COVID19nsw

Gosh this is a double-edged graph if ever there was one. #COVID19Aus - proud and feel sick with worry at the same time.

Pointed commentary. Climate change deniers are as slippery as those who justified the slave trade. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Amazing to think how much better off the world would be had the developed world heeded Margaret Thatcher’s warning in 1989 - we’ve squandered 30 years and continue to ridicule those desperate for a solution. It is not ok to mock those looking to reduce carbon.

Main messages are that circumstances are still changing, and we are learning more all the time in a way that can have significant implications. A reason why the precautionary principle is an important factor. Delta more deadly than national plan assumes smh.com.au/national/delta…

I object to the way opening up is being framed as "getting our freedoms back." Freedom was never taken away and I was enjoying being free from covid. It's a lazy expression which panders to the lowest demographic and helps no one.

Haha....We KNEW It.!

“We’ve lost ten years” 😡

When the Aus deaths from Covid make up 3% of world deaths (82/2811) while our population is about .34 % of world pop, then something is really out of whack, More decisive action please.

Wait… now those were his jobs?!

Superb science and wonderful story telling from Australian Academy of Science. And a message that should be on the front page of every news outlet. We are in deep trouble.

Collect the whole set! #AstonByElection #AstonVotes

Is this the leadership to take Australia forward? So limited and demeaning.

Petty and small-minded
