"Apology" from Cochrane on #masks at a time when vaccines alone are not enough to prevent #COVID19 and multilayered protections needed. So damaging for public health. Cochrane 101: such reviews are subject to the same biases that all research is subject to. cochrane.org/news/statement-…

We face a choice: continue to ignore deaths from COVID-19 or prevent them. In collaboration with @RealOzSAGE, we call on the Australian government to act urgently to reduce transmission of COVID-19 by using the tools we have, instead of abandoning them.

It’s not too late to reinstate some sensible public health measures to decrease transmission of COVID19. Masking indoors, social distancing when possible, workplace ventilation strategies.... If for no other reason - for our healthcare professionals. afr.com/policy/health-and-ed…

Stubborn omicron wave sticking around for Christmas

Hopes for the national omicron wave to fade ahead of Christmas have been dashed as cases and hospitalisations rise.

An alternative to the “no germs” theory of ⬆️ respiratory infections: Over 80% of the population has now been exposed to Covid and it’s been shown you can be immunosuppressed months after infection. So our increased infection rate, may be due to our increased infection rate. 🤯

COVID is killing thousands of Australians who would have otherwise lived, likely to be 20-30,000 by year's end. This fig shows that, after saving lives in 2020 (another story), once this line crossed the zero in late 2021, we were in ‘excess’ territory. 1/

A new wave is likely, whether it reaches the record peaks we saw a few months ago is hard to predict. Important, but a bit of a distraction. Today's cases, hospital numbers & COVID/excess deaths (10-20/day), in our trough, are exceptional. Lots of COVID out there. #COVID19Aus

(THREAD) In hopes of helping to inform people related to National Cabinet, I did a very cursory review of recent literature that seems relevant to discussion of Omicron infectious periods or has been commonly cited in online discussions of reducing the 7 day iso in Australia. 1/
