Love that place

Avoid travelling in touring coaches to avoid airborne disease

#COVIDisNotOver #COVIDisAirborne

How true

Eminence-based medicine ;-)

Fires and floods in same area in same week. Wake up to the climate disaster and do something otherwise this just continues to get worse

Such a mistake.

Exactly. People may vote with their feet during next election.

I doubt he will admit it. Foolish and stupid behaviour resulting in no festival

💯 strengthen primary care

I hear you. My first grandson also born - 4 months ago. What a gem. And we just tied up mums affairs after dying late 2024. Focus on the small things and enjoy that beautiful grandson

Khmer will tell you it’s all in the age of the rice- the older it is the less likely it will stick (except sticky rice- newly harvested and old will still stick). Khmer will never eat old rice- more than a year unless there’s nothing else as they like it to stick together

Hope the day is a lovely one An and may the new year bring much improved health

“Smear microscopy is basically how we’ve been diagnosing tuberculosis since 1882, and I really think it’s time to say goodbye”

@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social nailed it!!

It really is time to offer a WHO approved rapid molecular test to all people with presumed tuberculosis!!

Right on schedule. Merry Xmas once again

Dreadful and Unfathomable in this day and age

Australian scientist who alerted world that Covid is airborne wins top science prize Prof Lidia Morawska says recognition of her research comes at a fraught time – an ‘age of anti-science’

Australian scientist who alerted world that Covid is airborne wins top science prize

World expert in air quality and COVID wins Australia's top science prize Lidia Morawska, an internationally renowned expert in air quality and its impact on human health, has won Australia's most coveted prize for scientific research.

The world learned a painful lesson during COVID; respiratory infections are airborne. This changes a great deal - especially the need for better indoor air quality and high quality masks. If there was a single most important person responsible it was Prof Morawska.

Question is- is baseline lower cos less testing or less infections? I’d bet the former Thanks Mike for continuing to do what you do. It’s much appreciated

Racism - pure and simple. Shame Canada (and all countries behaving the same- mine included)

That made me laugh out loud! Hope you can stretch them back!!

Lovely

Thanks. Hate to think what the property will look like in a few years. Totally absurd to protect a feral animal.

Any tips to get rid of them? I already have fences to keep wallabies and possums out but clearly deer just jump them. And I’ve plenty of bush that they can hide I

Went away for five nights last week and returned to so much destruction. Doubt I will ever get rid of them now. Depressing. Not to mention the local bush….

Or the locals who see them regularly in the bush and then all of a sudden your gardens trashed by deer that were not here two years ago 🥲

'Not anticipated': New survey shows deer population boom in Tasmania The first survey for feral deer in Tasmania in five years reveals an unanticipated increase of nearly 20,000 to the population.

Exactly. Australia has so many feral animals including camels, goats, horses etc. how deer can be protected for hunters when they do so much environmental damage (and numbers are increasing) is truly shocking.

Same as Tas. For the first time ever deer have demolished lots of my gardens. It’s depressing and shocking. Possums, kangaroos and wallabies I can manage but deer? Impossible as protected and large animals

The image is a table titled “Deaths involving acute respiratory infections by month 2025.” It shows monthly death counts in Australia for three major respiratory illnesses — COVID-19, Influenza, and RSV — from January to August 2025, with totals for each across the year so far. Breakdown: COVID-19: Deaths range from 129 (April) to 350 (July), with the highest counts in June (348) and July (350). Total: 1,703 deaths by August 2025. Influenza: Gradually rises through winter, peaking in July (309) before dropping in August (121). Total: 898 deaths. RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus): Also peaks mid-winter with 116 deaths in July, down to 38 in August. Total: 345 deaths. Columns for September to December are marked “na,” indicating data not yet available. Overall, the table highlights that COVID-19 remains the leading cause of acute respiratory infection deaths in 2025, more than double influenza and nearly five times RSV.
