I’ve spent my life dealing with doctors on many levels. I’m not one who likes to call them “heroes”. But there are many I have so much respect for. Every now & then, their extraordinary care for their patients takes my breath away. This is one such story: couriermail.com.au/lifestyle…

Worth attending this one!! Explore the global systemic response to deliver healthcare differently to #flattenthecurve. This event brings you a firsthand account of lessons learnt across the world ... @TheInstituteDH digitalhealth.org.au/events/… – at Sydney, New South Wales
The 'senior adviser' who pirated Turnbull's book is not just any old Morrison staffer, he is his Executive Officer. He's the Prime Minister's right hand man. And this isn't his 20 year old photo by the way, this is him right now.

Qantas are still paying dividends in Sept! 1. Joyce says they don’t need Govt help. 2. Takes the largest share of the 715M assistance package 3. Instead of using that to pay staff, he stands 20,000 of them down and uses the govt $ to pay dividends-40% to foreign shareholders.

Forget chocolates and chips, these vending machines are packed with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline hospital staff. We're leading the nation in trialing these machines before potentially rolling them out in our public hospitals. #stopthespread

Let’s support local manufacturing and get started
Walkinshaw is famous for making Bathurst-winning Commodores. Now it's offering to make life-saving ventilators in the war against coronavirus. trib.al/nKHZYWg #covid19au
The first to issue a warning about the new #coronavirus was neither the WHO, nor an authority, but an algorithm. It's just one example of how #AI can discover unusual associations in healthcare - thus finding solutions to previously unsolvable puzzles. medicalfuturist.com/the-curi…

Raise a glass for the Bundy Rum and Beenleigh Rum teams 🥃 These iconic distilleries are helping our fight against #coronavirus by producing ethanol for hand sanitiser to use in our hospitals and schools, and to sell in supermarkets. This is QLD manufacturing at its best 👏🏽

Challenging times yield creative solutions. We hear a lot of #3DPrinting projects growing out of local Maker communities to tackle the supply chain issues of #COVID19. @trklou, a Canadian doctor who works in Gaza just made 3D printed face shields. cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-…
