According to a new study
conducted in a hospital
“Airborne SARS-CoV-2
may transmit infection
after more than 4 hours,”
so the question
you must ask yourself
is not if you are in a hospital,
but if you are somewhere
that someone was exhaling
SARS-CoV-2
in the last 4 or 5 hours.

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.
5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

What Brett Sutton is saying now is nothing new. He was one of the few CHOs who openly stated that #COVIDisAirborne even in the early crisis years of the pandemic. This is an official Victorian Dept of Health video from 21 Dec, 2021.

You didn't like it when Trump said it, now be consistent and condemn this cowardly fence sitter of a PM presently trying not to lose all the Nazi votes.

If you march alongside a Nazi, you legitimise them. You enable them. Good people don't do that.

It seems rare to me that anyone in positions of decision-making actually wants input from those with lived experience
From my own experiences with disability, I can say that no government in Australia wants people with lived experiences of discrimination to have any kind of key advisory role.
