Yes, watching with interest and hoping no new variant takes off. Aged care metrics were creeping up last few weeks but dropped down a bit today. Certainly a relief to be hovering at low levels but with low vax rates this "break" might be short-lived. I find it hard to make a call on broad immunity!

"It's important to know that the influenza virus, along with RSV, para-influenza, and COVID, are what we call 'droplet-spread viruses',"  Professor Hespe said. 

"Each time you do the coughing and sneezing, those fluids are actually then potentially spreading to somebody else," Professor Hespe said.

Oh come on @samjnichols.bsky.social ABC News. When reporting on important health topics, you need to get the basic facts right.

The person you quote on droplet spread of covid and flu etc is dead wrong.

Cases are always around, that's for sure. Some people do question the wastewater data but I've not seen any real evidence that it's unreliable.

Interesting @mikehoney.bsky.social, especially since new C19 wastewater graph for Perth (up to 21 March), shows last wave has continued to fall, with the level still very low (relatively). LP.8.1 not mentioned in variant charts.

Today is Long COVID Awareness Day.

We recognise those living with LC and those caring for people with LC.

We must all provide support and join the call for research and a remedy for LC.

This Billboard was captured in Melbourne, Australia.

Dismissed and Disbelieved, Some Long COVID Patients Are Pushed Into Psychiatric Wards The chronic illnesses that make doctors doubt their patients often start after what โ€œshouldโ€ be a short-lived sicknessโ€”like COVID-19.

Even mainstream news magazines are starting to grasp the horrors of the #LongCovid issue.

When will the medical establishment and govts catch up?
