WA Health poor advice:
"Measles...can spread via airborne droplets to people close by (e.g. in waiting rooms). Droplets in the air may still infect people entering a room up to 30min after an infected person has left"
Droplets?
<30min?
N95s vs surgicals

UTS to cut public health (PH) at the worst possible time
"Every $ invested in prevention, equity & health promotion saves many more in treatment, hospitalisation & lost productivity. Reducing this to a spreadsheet calculation misses the purpose of PH"

Barcelona researchers followed 192,000 people and found long COVID was 3–10 times more common in those with three or more infections than in those with just one.
Thrombotic events in people over 60 have doubled since 2020.

‼️Wake-up to the possible ULTRA-LONG-C0vid! #LungCancer
➡️Interesting Chinees study synthesizing current epidemiological evidence, elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may influence lung carcinogenesis, and highlighting clinical implications to guide future research, screening, and therapeutic interventions.
➡️"It has been proven that although the SARS virus is not capable of integrating into the host genome, it uses the mechanisms of other human oncoviruses to cause lung cancer."
➡️Conclusions:
- "SARS-CoV-2 represents a complex variable in the landscape of lung cancer."
- "While the full extent of its long-term oncogenic implications is still unfolding, the current scientific understanding points towards a significant potential to fuel lung carcinogenesis through a sophisticated interplay of inflammatory, immunological, cellular, and genetic mechanisms."
The evidence is mounting: SARS-CoV-2 is not as harmless as some continue to claim, and we may see more cancer types linked to it over time, my personal belief. Don’t wait for the science support!

"Researchers uncover how COVID-19 may linger in cancer patients and affect treatment outcomes."
The virus lingered in the gut lining up to 6 weeks after the last positive swab sparking persistent inflammation and tissue damage that could worsen outcomes.

In 1976 Manchuria, Wu Lien-teh’s gauze mask stopped a pneumonic plague killing thousands.
His design was the ancestor of the N95.

the world is upside down, the appropriate response to deafening silence in the wake of mass-disabling of our children is to scream at the top of your lungs. That's what Violet was doing on Tuesday. That's not anxiety, that's humanity.

Violet Affleck is right.
Healthcare facilities shouldn't be making patients sicker. Healthcare facilities should do more to keep their staff safe.

Just a reminder, N95s are a superior alternative to lockdowns
Always have been
Always will be
Better socially & economically, 2-way N95s allow near normal activity with near perfect protection
Used just in schools & hospitals, they could end the pandemic
Just saying
😊

I’m going to choose to interpret this in a positive light. We are closing in on understanding what produces the clinical syndrome we recognize as #Neuro #LongCovid, which is a critical step on the path to effective treatment. DO NOT GIVE UP. ❤️🩹#ScienceWillWin #MedTwitter
2 BAD NEWS in 1 STUDY ! 🤷♂️
▶️ COVID-19 infection triggers an inflammatory response and oxidative stress in the brain, leading to cognitive decline.
▶️ Genes involved in mitochondrial function were consistently downregulated across different brain cells

Excellent article by @DrJohnOrchard on how clean air gives athletes an advantage, & how capitalism could drive the clean air revolution by servicing those who cannot afford “to get sick”

Maybe worth reminding people in NSW that if they work in any of the following jobs, if they catch Covid it’s presumed they caught it at work, for the purposes of workers compensation. The onus is on the employer to prove otherwise.
