    Can’t believe this. Why does 60 Min have to equate “lockdown” with “mask up”? Mask is meant to ALLOW people to return to work without being locked down. Masks protect people from spitting into each other’s faces when they have to go to work. Gee...

    Economics Professor Gigi Foster believes rather than mask up, it’s time for Australia to man up by getting back to business, even if that sees more deaths.

    Nice SMS message! I wasn't really expecting anything else as both kids had also got a negative back (but positive for Rhinovirus) but better be safe than sorry when we all had the sniffles, sore throad etc.. Having that test done gave an "interesting" feeling in the sinuses.

    High SARS-CoV-2 sensitivity of patient-collected nasal (94%) & mid-turbinate (96%) swabs compared to healthcare worker-collected nasopharyngeal swabs. Could be very useful alternative.

    VIC DHHS incredibly fortunate to have clinical & epidemiological expertise & public health commitment of . All the best Allen.

    Honoured (and daunted) to be asked to help at DHHS with Rhonda Stuart and Paul Johnson. There are actually many other ID physicians helping out here. For obvious reasons, I'll be keeping a lower profile on Twitter. Follow Brett's official account and ASID

    There's been a nasty uptick in stigmatisation and finger-pointing ever since cases started increasing in VIC. It doesn't make anyone safer. Promote, educate, role model and facilitate (as says)

    I’m proud of our staff member who told us they had . That’s the workplace culture we must have. One where there is no stigma, judgment or blame but an understanding that this is a public health crisis that impacts us all & where we feel safe to disclose & get supported.

    we have a toddler-size mask from last bushfire season - I think he wore it for all of 5 seconds & we gave up. Will a mask become the seatbelt/hat normal of this new generation?

    Public health experts say wearing a mask could become like wearing a hat in the playground during future bushfire seasons. via

    Groundhog Day: 5th day running with new community cases in teens. A tired metaphor, but NSW still on knife-edge. Interested what % new community cases over last week in self-isolation *prior* to detection, vs “linked” to clusters after detection. Hopefully, vast majority former.

    17 new cases of have been diagnosed in NSW between 8pm on 30 July and 8pm on 31 July. For the latest list of COVID-19 locations, visit:

    How many more “pubs, clubs, restaurants” venues do we need named before obvious that short-term closure only way to prevent longer-term health & economic burden. Am I missing something?

    NSW Health have issued a warning to anyone who attended the Bavarian Restaurant Manly after a Covid-19 case attended. All people who visited the venue on Friday the 24th of July from 2.30-4pm are advised to monitor for symptoms.

    I was utterly struck when interviewing last week by her contention that a virus can spread in 2 main ways: mutate to improve its intrinsic fitness, or capitalise on human behaviour. We can't do anything about the first, but the second is what it's all about

    Follow-up ongoing in this study of depot buprenorphine. Should provide a valuable further option for people with opioid drug dependence. In time of Covid-19, less frequent dosing (monthly) will be welcome for many.

    Good article. I think I can say sth about rewriting my spaghettis -:).

    For Vivian Gornick, re-reading isn’t just a portal to consolidation, but exposes the emotional distortions that accrue through repetition

    I’m optimistic too, re Covid-19 vaccine. But, not sure about precise timeline. And, who is “the U.S.” Does it include the most vulnerable: people in aged care facilities, people experiencing homelessness, people who are incarcerated? Let’s hope. Maybe a few non-U.S. folk too.

    Dr. Anthony Fauci reassured members of Congress and the public on Friday that the U.S. would likely have a safe and effective coronavirus vaccine by the end of this year or early 2021
