It seems COVID cases in the latest wave have indeed peaked, and all things across the usual pandemic metrics are improving.
So has BA5 burnt itself out or is this just a small respite? Are we due for another variant? and discuss.

Eye opener. Here is an explainer of the significance & caveats of the work by independent commentators. Some disorders recover not too long after infection (mood, anxiety), others remain even 2 years later (eg, dementia, psychotic disorders, more). thelancet.com/journals/lanps

Huge study. Worrying findings. We’re letting this rip and doing pretty much nothing about indoor air.

2/2 'Medical Homes' have a long history, being pushed by since 1990s; Australian professional groups have never really engaged with the concept; preferring the Govt-backed, small-business, dislocated forms of care that are now failing..

Pretty much ever since the pandemic began, we've been told to socially distance.
But as the science is gathered on how much viral load flows from an infected person, how relevant is that recommendation? and discuss.

I’m getting a lot of feedback like this. The private market for drugs is a bit of a free for all and there’s a lot of discretion with the pharmacy. That sounds outrageous. I do think I got it wrong on the low side based on what my local pharmacy advised a while ago. twitter.com/PeggyL2727/sta

I have completed about 20 pages so far and I must admit it has a great introduction about the economics and education and how they affect longevity in a nation. Most books on health only focuses on the biological aspects and nothing outside of it.
