People: Can we have a few simple measures to help reduce infections? UK Government: No. People: Not even hospitals? Schools? UK Gov: No. People: Can we have vaccines? Maybe Novavax? UK Gov: No. People: Antivirals if we get sick? UK Gov: No. People: So, is this a cull…?

Wake up Australia.

Really tough week in the ANU college of arts & social sciences. Committed, respected & highly impactful staff have been told their jobs are no longer & about 30 ppl are facing forced redundancy. It’s come as a complete shock to identified individuals. No consultation, no warning

Why no C19 vax for children in Australia? Last year, ACIP reported 58 deaths in infants ages less than a year, 44 deaths in children ages 1-4 years and 81 deaths in children ages 5-19 years. 50% of children hospitalised with COVID had no underlying health conditions. cdc.gov/acip/evidence-…

Average academic exchange:

London friends, don’t miss this!

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message : “If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side. By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people. I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.” — For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.

Everyone rightly talking about the mental health of young people. What about the impact of this on the mental health of young people? What then?

Shame on you @NatGalleryAus You collude in the erasure of a people

@jennysrmve71 @Mike_Honey_ Yep I had one case in a class of 16 students last week.

@Mike_Honey_ I'm starting to hear of people in my extended circle getting sick again (ACT). Just in the last 3 days, 2 x covid +ve and 1 x "bad head cold". Plus a FB post on a local group about a severe cold, headaches, muscle pain and sore back with many comments saying "it's going around".

Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update: The risk estimate was up slightly to 0.3% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-295. That implies a 10% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30. #COVID19 #Australia 🧵

@AlboMP I would be happier if you legislated for clean air in my child’s classroom and covid vaccines that aren’t 6 months out of date.

I’ve got a message for mums and dads: we are on your side. We’ve got your back.
