Jordan got COVID in January 2022, & his life hasn’t been the same since. He shares how his life has been impacted by long COVID & urges Victorians to stay ahead of the virus with protective steps. Learn more about the symptoms & how to stay safe: go.vic.gov.au/3R9GosU 1/2🧵
The killing fields still drip with blood while the rest of the world has decided it is above nursing a guilty conscience for stepping indifferently over the bodies.

Listen, you must put down that fire extinguisher live your life in this burning house. Come on, you must take off that life preserver live your life in this sinking ship. Please, you must stop wearing that face mask live your life in this evolving pandemic.
This is why, even now, I’ve never succumbed to hubris regarding the dangers of Covid. We REALLY want it to be “just a cold,” but it’s not a cold. It’s neurological, and it’s stealthier than us. Those who have friends with “long Covid” know it’s no joke: scientificamerican.com/article/long-c…
At great universities the buildings are nowhere near as impressive as the people.
The Albanese Government's decision to offer DFAT support to return Pell's body to Australia means taxpayers will foot the bill. In my view, the tax-exempt Catholic Church can and should cover the cost. It's inappropriate to expect Australians, including survivors, to pay. #auspol
It is not possible to protect the most vulnerable from #covid unless we reduce rampant covid transmission between everyone. We are all in the same lifeboat here & the big lie is that there are groups with superior health or age that have nothing & no-one to worry about.
I don’t understand how COVID is spiking again after we’ve tried everything from pretending it’s over to pretending it never happened
John Hewson: A recent poll suggested as many as two-thirds of Australians think the pandemic is over. This is far from true. A false impression has been created, as a result of poor messaging by governments and health officials… #AusPol satpa.pe/hewso56f39c
Our lives are only meaningless if we waste them. Before you die you should be at least acquainted with the currently expanding facts and photos of our incredible Universe. And what science thinks is going on in it. It is a priviledge to be born into this form. Don't waste it!

@drkerrynphelps @MarkMcGowanMP It's very very simple. Covid19 is airborne. Cloth masks and surgical masks are not suitable personal protection against virus aerosols. The goal for any hospital should be ZERO transmission as patients are medically vulnerable, hospitalised & dealing with medical issues.
Oh sure, it’s the inflatable mattress altar that risks harming the Catholic Church‘s reputation 🤦♀️ theguardian.com/world/2022/jul…
It’s an important claim for Professional Staff who have demonstrated how well their work can be done from home. WHS is vital, but it’s also about the right to have flexible working conditions that improve work life balance. Prof Staff won’t be used as props to “vibrant campuses”

Maybe if we stopped raising and socialising men to think women are an extension of them, that they are entitled to and a something they have a right to own, posses, objectify and control, a woman a week would not be murdered each week in Australia right now.

Trees & their hollows are homes for wildlife, including threatened species such as the Gouldian finch, black-footed tree-rat & northern brushtail possum. Today they're being destroyed at Lee Point in Darwin, after @tanya_plibersek's approval. Ecocide in action. Environment laws?
*If* wildlife spotters and catchers aren’t checking trees before they’re destroyed, animals such as this devine baby black-footed tree-rat, a listed threatened species, are almost certainly being condemned and crushed to death. Is this your ‘Nature Positive’, @tanya_plibersek?
