Detailed & thoughtful piece. In Oz we have a blind spot with, & inexplicable tolerance of, COVID infections in hospitals (not all) that results in many preventable deaths. Better air indoor quality is a central component of the solution.

Too many catching Covid-19 in hospital, experts say - but precautions being rolled back

If you’re interested in a crash course from the beginning in chronic issues with COVID I recommend this excellent interview with David Putrino. Perhaps the least well understood consequence is the damage every infection likely causes everyone, symptomatic or not.

A pretty shameful oversight that at last night’s Walkley Awards there was no mention of the record numbers of journalists who have been murdered by the IDF over the past year.

As a nation, we seem intent on a communal forgetting of how bad it was. I'm reposting this thread of testimony on the reality of the NHS during first two waves. Pls watch.

"If you’re a health-care worker who sees a patient in a mask, put one on for them. Don’t make them ask. Don’t psychologize them. Don’t betray the trust they’ve shown you. They’ve put their lives in your hands. Don’t take that for granted, it’s not an easy thing for many of us to do"
A plea to maskless health-care workers from vulnerable patients - Healthy Debate
Health-care workers have a responsibility to protect their vulnerable patients. Our lives are in your hands.

THREAD: we urgently need to talk about babies & Covid - AGAIN.
A new paper has dropped looking at acute Covid-19 outcomes from Sep 2023-Apr 2024 by age for all England.
Except for deaths, babies under 6 mths old have HIGHEST risk of A&E, admission & SEVERE hospital admission across ALL ages 1/10

Btw @theausinstitute.bsky.social is a good follow (and I just told media people to start regularly posting here, so do me a solid and follow them to show how smart I am!)
When asked about our research showing the big four banks make $200k profit on an average mortgage, the CEO of Commbank said it "didn't sound right."
Matt, we agree. Taking so much profit while Australians struggle with soaring mortgage repayments isn't right at all. #auspol
