Important steps being taken in Victoria to address indoor air quality and reduce burden of disease from COVID and other hazards.
Great in-depth reporting (and misinformation-busting) as always from

Another well-informed piece by

about why we need to bridge the gap between perception and reality when it comes to COVID.
Essential reading for all parents and teachers as they prepare to send kids back to school in a large COVID wave.

25/ I don't accept the QLD CHO’s position that infection with COVID is necessary or critical. His view that herd immunity is a way out of the pandemic seems based on hopium, and at odds with accepted science.
@YouAreLobbyLud
1/ The Queensland CHO thinks the only way you can avoid catching Covid is by "magic". The person charged with ensuring public health in Queensland literally thinks "magic" is the only way to suppress transmission of an infectious agent. Let that sink in first.

"Clean air should be a right in healthcare. You should have a reasonable expectation you can go into a modern hospital without contracting a serious disease that will leave you worse off than when you went in."

“By remaining silent or downplaying the ongoing risk of COVID-19, governments have abdicated their responsibility to provide their citizens with reliable public health information.”

Somebody needs to make An Inconvenient Truth, but for COVID.
If done right it could have a huge impact.

One Queenslander a day is dying after contracting Covid while being treated in hospital for other medical conditions.
“In my opinion the lack of enforced safety protocols, where there is evidence that people are dying, is medical negligence.”

Scathing comments about federal and state government failures to take the most basic steps to protect Australians from COVID.
Valid criticisms, and quite extraordinary to see such reckless disregard for public health by politicians and health advisers.
Thank you

Some simple things we can all do with minimal disruption:
Get a booster, get kids vaccinated, wear an N95 mask indoors, don’t go to crowded indoor events, eat outside at cafes, choose to go places based on whether they take indoor air seriously.

In a surgical mask?! Are you fucking kidding me??
My first visit to a hospital as Federal Health Minister and it’s to the heart of healthcare in our western suburbs - the QEH.

Research has shown that people are 1,000 times more likely to catch COVID via the air they breathe than by touching a contaminated surface.

Based on what is now known about COVID, I expect that in ten years' time our kids will be asking us whether we did everything in our power to protect them from getting infected and re-infected.
