😷A reminder that whatever respiratory signs & symptoms bring a patient in for a test/Doctor's visit - many very different respiratory viruses can cause that disease. Only a good pathology laboratory test has a hope of identifying a cause.

😷Ian's take-home messages...
📢Flu seasons pass-a good (N95) mask, worn properly, indoors increases your chances of missing this one and of protecting others from you
📢Stay home if sick (=new: cough, sneezing, headache, fever, fatigue)
📢Stay away from the elderly if sick

#Queensland amusement park case verdict cd be a classic example of how a prosecution can collude to lose a case. No dispute at all that it is Govt land.Only issue is whether it belongs to HRCE or Revenue Dept.Eviction sought by HRCE quashed bcos they cd not prove it as their land
Why isn't Revenue Dept pressing its case for eviction? Dist. Collector rejected temple claim that the land was theirs. Also judgement says that Queensland offered to provide alternate land and Collector had inspected it. Contrast this with Sastra case where Govt says no
question of accepting alternate land. Two Departments of the same Govt. ostensibly "fight" with each other to allow an encroachment to continue. And shockingly Judgement says Govt is "considering" proposal of Queensland to provide alternate land. Most damning are these sentences

😷And while there is no context, compare a low flu area to a high flu area to see that the number of #flu infections per 100,000 population is well above "normal" (which would normally be very low)

1: It's time to claim my space. I was one of just a few journos who held @AndrewLamingMP to account prior to 2021. I lived in Bowman from 2012-2017 and I reported on him via @margokingston1's @NoFibs. AN EVOLVING THREAD on #Laming #LGBTQ equality #Journalism #Books and more.
2: It began in 2013 when I submitted an article on #MarriageEquality to Margo's #CitizenJournalism news site @NoFibs. Up until then, the site had not really covered that issue, which mattered a lot to me. @MrKRudd had just announced his support for reform: nofibs.com.au/burgewords-on-…
3: The image above is of Senator Sue Boyce (@SenatorSue) former LNP Senator for Queensland, crossing the floor to become the first LNP politician in the country to vote for marriage equality. It was a short walk but it gave the #LGBTQ community hope.

Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!
Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.

On board the Sofrana Surville there are two positive cases of Covid-19, Queensland Health authorities report. The ship is a suspected source of infection for a port worker in New Zealand.
On board the Sofrana Surville there are two positive cases of Covid-19, Queensland Health authorities report. The ship is a suspected source of infection for a port worker in New Zealand.
Steven Miles, Minister of Health of Queensland, said all 19 crew onboard the Sofrana Surville had now been screened. Instead of docking in Brisbane as scheduled, the ship was ordered to anchor off the coast of Mooloolaba.
In New Zealand, the strain of Covid-19 from the engineer was never observed before and was not seen in Australia. There is a frequent circuit between Brisbane, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia and New Zealand and Sofrana Surville.

#Flu in Australia to 15MAY2020
This year is in pink. The year was tracking for a lot of reported infections - as big as the 2019 #flunami (green). Then physical distancing.
Flu testing *is* still happening, but I can't speak to whether levels may have dropped due to SARS-CoV-2

As expected, #flu and other viruses have been hit hard by physical distancing...but the rhinoviruses are still there. And at decent levels. Interesting. There R0 isn't thought to be higher than SARS-CoV-2 (unless it needs a fresh look) Hardier for longer because non-enveloped?
