The idea that I should risk what’s left of my health just so someone else can feel like things are “normal” is patently absurd to me. So I held my ground and the visit was cancelled. This person is now angry that I’m unwilling to see them. /9
First off - I reject the idea that one person can determine another person’s idea of normal. Second - if you can’t be happy just because you have to wear a mask for an hour… you may need to re-examine some things about yourself. /8
He gets ill, then performs poorly, misses tournaments and then fires his coach. It wasn’t Goran, Novak. It was Covid. You’ve got RG, Wimby, & Olympics next. Provided that you can overcome the internal struggle, you might want to start wearing a respirator to protect what remains…
The Americanisation of the health system continues - $330 for the RSV vax, $60 for the hi dose flu vax. Not just the fact that the personal charges keep mounting, but many simply cannot afford to keep themselves safe now. Fvcking disgrace.
Dear Aust voters Fed govt could stop next pandemic before it even starts Health Committee gave it recommendations on creating nat IAQ standards to keep us safe from all airborne infectious diseases both current & future But @AustralianLabor is failing us with its negligence

Let's be clear: public sentiment and consent are largely manufactured. They do not arise spontaneously. Only a naif would believe so. It is not an accident that people are revolted by drinking filthy water, but are nonchalant about breathing in filthy air. @DrBronKing

What if govt decided it’s time for individuals to take personal responsibility for their own water treatment… & house trained experts wrote opinion pieces saying that less sterile water helps strengthen weakened immune systems… & we learnt what waterborne means, the hard way?
"5-20% of people develop lingering symptoms or new health conditions after infection, called Long COVID. As of the CDC's latest count in March 2024, 30% of all American adults who've had COVID have experienced Long COVID." 👀🚨
For the “masks don’t work for COVID” crowd… they’re recommended for H5N1. Which is a virus. Respirators work. Why you would wear it for one virus and not for another makes no sense to me.

It's the first year anniversary of the death of someone close to me whose decline from multiple sclerosis was suddenly accelerated by covid infections until it killed them. I'll never stop fighting against covid infections.

Flashback to 2020, except he died last week. Bodybuilder and fitness influencer Jonas Filho, 29, dies after being rushed to hospital with Covid It comes just days after another bodybuilder is reported to have died. 1/2 @DavidJoffe64 @mrmickme thesun.co.uk/sport/27437839…
In summary, this virus has become a Trojan horse that most of society ignores. Even most of our medical institutions want to normalize it like influenza where a yearly vaccine is all you need. The push to go back to 2019 has largely succeeded at the expense of our future.
Diabetics are struggling to keep their A1C levels down. The number of cardiac patients has exploded. More & more patients in renal failure are going on dialysis. Abnormal hepatic function test numbers are skyrocketing. Lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia & abnormal coags are ⏫️. /5

Views are my ownWe are still working through all of the technical details, but the article includes an illustrative example and indicative baselines for each cause. This graph is of the overall result, showing the indicative baseline for 2024 is similar to mortality for 2020 and 2021. end/
We have decided to adopt an approach that takes 2023 mortality as the starting point, and then assumed pre-pandemic mortality improvements would apply. This is done at the cause of death level.
For most causes, this is straightforward. For COVID-19, we intend to assume that there will be two waves in 2024, and that each wave will result in fewer deaths than the previous one.
We have thought long and hard about what to do instead. Incorporating pandemic years mechanistically into the baseline gives projected numbers of deaths that look unrealistically high given what we know about the causes of mortality over the pandemic.
Before we are accused of "hiding excess deaths" or similar, note that we have absolutely no intention of re-stating the excess mortality for 2020 to 2023, which will continue to be a measure of the mortality impact of the pandemic. This new approach is for 2024 only.
Why the change? Essentially, because pre-pandemic was too long ago now and projections are unreliable.
In short, we are moving away from the philosophical question of: “How has the pandemic affected mortality?” to instead answer the question: “Is 2023 mortality the ‘new normal’?”
The Mortality Working Group is planning to make a significant change to the baseline used to measure excess mortality for Australia in 2024. This article goes into some detail on the rationale for the change; this thread the main points. actuaries.digital/2024/04/24/exc…

@DrPieterPeach @psvbluemts @NSWHealth @AndrewHewat @DALupton @DavidJoffe64 Sorry second hand info- in an ideal world that should be n95- in reality if get anyone comply w surgical masks for some sources control- it would be an improvement of current standards of you do you - only if the victims have the right to be informed- maybe we don’t have rights
Saying that patients don’t get to know if their HCWs were recently positive and can decide if they want to protect themselves? Unfortunately no standard for teachers teaching kids even if kids were unvaccinated 😨 and of course parents don’t need to be informed too @psvbluemts
@pamwantspeace @NSWHealth After 4 years of pandemic i realize theory and reality are far apart…. Will take some fighting to get best practice done and not until some serious damage- look at UK….

@psvbluemts @NSWHealth @AndrewHewat @DALupton @DavidJoffe64 Covid can be bad news for anyone requiring a brain to function- especially doctors and teachers and students…. So prevention of infection spread in the occupations where braun function are essential can be very important - well done @NSWCHO please extend the rules to schools!
Covid: A Brain Damaging Story I believe that in the absence of large scale studies and conducting brain imaging on a mass scale, we have to rely upon ourselves to turn to real world examples we may already be witnessing. Some questions about what you may be seeing… 🧵
@psvbluemts And pts can choose to come back in another day when their HCWs are less likely to be infectious, or decide to upgrade own protection ie n95 during the encounter? At least @NSWHealth improved it’s safety standards! A great step for OHHS! @AndrewHewat @DALupton @DavidJoffe64
@psvbluemts If I am a parent- I wonder if it’s within my right to know if my kids are kept safe in a school environment & can choose to withdraw my kids if teachers is covid positive? Same for doctors? If I am a patient- I wonder if it’s my right to know if my doctors had recent covid?
The idea that I should risk what’s left of my health just so someone else can feel like things are “normal” is patently absurd to me. So I held my ground and the visit was cancelled. This person is now angry that I’m unwilling to see them. /9

Here’s the thing - being disabled is lonely. The pandemic has only made that worse. The isolation wears on you and it’s easy to accidentally get your hopes up when you really should know better. When this person offered to visit … I thought maybe things had changed. /4
