Real-time study to reveal crucial facts about persistent illnesses post-COVID.

A landmark study by the University of Melbourne, Doherty Institute, Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney, and University of Adelaide aims to understand persistent illnesses and use the data to improve care and wellbeing.
Real-time study to reveal crucial facts about persistent illnesses post-COVID
Each year several million Australians develop a significant flu-like illness¹, and a portion of these people go on to develop persistent symptoms like fatigue and ‘brain fog’. A landmark study led by the University of Melbourne, the Doherty Institute, the Kirby Institute at UNSW Sydney and the University of Adelaide aims to understand how common these persistent illnesses (like long COVID) are and use this information to inform clinical practice and improve health and wellbeing.

There are MANY more opportunities than are even listed here. Shortages of almost every kind of doc or nurse in many parts of the country. Less so in big centres but let me put a plug in for the small cities! I have only a 20min commute, great standard of living, and very collegial work environment.

Lots of misinformation in the comments. The science shows that COVID vaccines reduce transmission, including for recent variants. A 2024 CDC study showed that people who received the updated COVID vaccine were 54% less likely to get COVID-19.

I'm now convinced that @melrobbins.bsky.social advice to get out of bed as soon as the alarm goes off comes from someone who lives in an adequately insulated home.

This advice cannot be for, or from, anyone living in southern Australia during winter.
