Tern makes a good point — years of COVID infections have weakened immunity for many, which could explain why recent flu seasons are hitting harder than before.
Tern’s reply: "Perhaps there's so much flu now because Covid infections make people vulnerable to flu."

The NDIS shifts almost $27m a year in mental health costs alone, our new study suggests
A new study offers the first clear evidence of how the NDIS may ease pressure on some health services.

Women are 3x times more likely to develop long COVID.
Researchers found gut leakiness, inflammation, anemia, and hormone imbalances in women with long COVID (including lower testosterone and cortisol). These factors may help explain why long COVID affects women more.

Great @yarrabike.bsky.social radio episode on @3crmelbourne.bsky.social. Shows how important the Streets People Love campaign is. Pushing for livable streets that include bike infrastructure is going to get more general support than solely pushing bikes. Also probably gets more pleasant bike routes.
