In recent COVID-19 vaccine report, TGA #Australia has advised that they have updated the Product Information leaflet for "Heavy menstrual bleeding" as an adverse reaction for COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
Also advised to see Dr. for any new vaginal bleeding after menopause.
They have advised that although a definitive link has not been established, the TGA considers there is a possibility that heavy periods could be causally associated with vaccination.

I know for as fact that so many Western Australians discussed #walabor & @MarkMcGowan`s response to #Covid19WA with their neighbours, workplace colleagues
I also know as fact that most of the speak was about how the @LiberalsWA tried to undermine McGowans #covid19 response

1/19 No, I’m not an epidemiologist, virologist or even a Dr but I have managed my company’s response to the virus across APAC, working closely with such people, for the last 211 days straight, so I ‘know things’ and have learned more along the way #COVID19 #covid19australia
2/19 I just can’t take the lies, obfuscation and misrepresentations coming from politicians & their MSM cheer squad a moment longer. Strap in for a small thread that I hope clarifies a few things and, probably, already confirms much of what you are already thinking.

All we hear in Australia, relentlessly, day on day uttered in hushed, funereal, tones is the number of cases, with the implication that case=hospitalization and death. It does not. This is simply untrue.

Melbourne traffic is busier in the second lockdown compared to the first lockdown. Last week, weekdays were only down ~30% on February levels, compared to ~40% in the first lockdown (early April). Why the difference? Lets investigate.. [thread 1/5] #covid19australia
Okay, so school years 11 and 12 resumed (at school) last week, but Friday's traffic was busier than lockdown 1 during commuter peaks, school peaks, and interpeak. It seems plausible that more people have been going to work in lockdown 2. [2/5]
That said, last Monday's interpeak traffic was not much above April lockdown levels, but still significantly higher in the school and commuter peaks, again suggesting more people going to work [3/5]
Thread re: today's leaked @NCCCgovau report (drawing on the @CntrFutureWork's *Powering Onwards* report on renewable manufacturing):
1. We don’t specifically need gas (or coal) to power any major industrial process
2. Renewables are cost-competitive and getting cheaper
Here's a wrap of some of the key charts on covid19data.com.au right now.

3/8 - The daily confirmed cases each day is the key graph atm.
1/6: OK, let's think of a list of specific questions - I'll start with whether "What is being proposed is no different than our existing health surveillance system." In our current system, a health official asks an infected person for a list of people & places they've been near.
2/6: Some obvious differences:
- When relying on human memory, you might forget. Automation should be better.
- When relying on human memory, you can choose to omit certain people or places. Will Australia's app have that option, or will it be all-or-nothing?

- Human memory cannot usually be compelled (at least not in countries like Aus), but data can be compulsorily acquired, e.g. under TOLA. Will TOLA, and other laws about compulsory phone-opening, be amended to carve out contact data stored on your phone by the app? #auspol

I pulled some testing data from other countries. There are a stack of caveats here b/c of the different ways countries test and report, but here's what I found ... 2/10
We all know South Korea (blue line) is the gold standard - expansive and consistent. Germany (brown line) is another leader now. And the USA (green line) has a lot of patchy data but is in the midst of a massive push. (UK is lower - more on that another time). 3/10
HOME DISINFECTION GUIDE:

Home entry points are:
1. External door handles
2. Shoes
3. Clothing - only for those with excessive public contact outside home
4. Post & parcels.
5. Groceries.

1. Clean external door handles if touched by unsanitised hands. If you carry alcohol rub with you outside the house, use that BEFORE opening doors. Use it BEFORE getting in your car when out shopping etc so inside your car remains "clean".
I, like many, have been trying to figure out what #CoronaMo is up to
What could possibly be his motivation for doing all the things he has done/not done, that were the opposite of what they should have been?
A thread: a theory, but I hope I’m wrong.

All the:
- ignoring the warnings from overseas
- ignoring expert advice
- having his own “experts”
- encouraging crowds to gather one last time
- not screening at airports
- insisting schools stay fully open
- feds intervening to allow cruise ship passengers off

It all seemed nonsensical. Surely he couldn’t be that incompetent?
Many of us rationalised that it must then be his religious beliefs to blame
What else could make someone so irrational?
And then the suspension of parliament happened.
Why is this an issue?

“We’re expecting millions of masks to arrive in the country over coming months. We have already now had 8 million that we are putting through primary health networks to our general practitioners and also to our fever clinics.” Prof. Paul Kelly Deputy CMO #abc730 #covid19australia
“We’re trying to identify people that are sick so they can be tested early, but the general principle, if you’re returning from overseas, we’re asking people to isolate at home, to self-monitor, and that will be checked.” Prof. Paul Kelly Deputy CMO #abc730 #covid19australia
“If you’re sick, stay at home, minimising those number of interactions you have with other people, particularly close interactions. We’ve, so far, tried to do that voluntarily.” Prof. Paul Kelly Deputy CMO #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia #covid19australia
Right now, the people most at risk from #coronavirus are those fighting to protect us: our doctors, nurses and health workers. Their only line of defence is personal protective equipment - masks, gowns and gloves. But there is a shortage. #abc730 @GraceTobin #covid19australia
“This is a war that’s being waged in our country by an enemy that we can’t see but it can see us. We’re asking our frontline staff to go in essentially wearing cargo shorts and pocket knives.” Surgeon, Sushil Pant. #abc730 #coronavirusaustralia #covid19australia
Clinical Director at Sydney’s #RPAH, Prof Paul Torzillo, says not even he can find out exactly what the protective equipment stockpile is in NSW. “I don’t know how much, and I don’t think anyone else in the frontline really has that knowledge.” #abc730 #COVID19Australia
With job losses expected to be in the millions, how can the government keep the wheels of the economy spinning so there’s something left to salvage when the #coronavirus crisis subsides? @latingle #abc730 #covid19australia
“We're dealing with two crises. We're dealing with a health crisis that has caused an economic crisis.” @ScottMorrisonMP #coronavirusaus #COVID19Aus #auspol
.@ScottMorrisonMP has rejected wage subsidies as an option. “The best way to get help to people is through the existing payment channels, through the existing tax system arrangements.” #abc730 #auspol #coronavirus
One of the most unsettling things about #coronavirus is that nobody can predict how long the massive disruptions to almost every aspect of daily life will have to continue. @normanswan explains, it all depends on the action we take now. #abc730 #covid19australia
“A growing number of experts claim there is a way this nightmare could start to end as soon as 6 weeks from now but, they say, it requires a gear shift in thinking and major changes in how we approach this crisis.” @normanswan #abc730 #coronavirus #covid19australia
“A pandemic only comes under control when we get to a point where an infected person only passes it onto one other person. To get below to that we need to make sure each infected person keeps away from others or is kept away.” @normanswan #abc730 #coronavirus #COVID19
#Coronavirus and #cruiseships are a massive problem for authorities. There are currently two cruise ships off the WA coast with 2,700 passengers. And 3,000 are Australians stranded on 25 cruise ships around the world, with nowhere to dock. #abc730 @jason_om #covid19australia
Retired teachers Julie Turnbull and Maria Manera are among 1,500 passengers and crew on board the Costa Victoria, and the ship is headed for Italy where nearly 7,000 people have died. #abc730 #coronavirus #COVID19Aus #cruiseships
Passengers are now largely isolated to their cabins after the ship’s first case of #coronavirus was diagnosed this week. #abc730 #COVID19Aus #cruiseships
With wage income suddenly reduced, the Aus Govt is pouring money into households.
$18b via social security + $32b via business grants.
As it does, it's worth keeping in mind how much money *drains out* of households, in rent.
For private rental households, about $40b pa. 1/6

So for some reason, NSW Health has reported an extra 29 cases today, that the minister had already reported y’day.
This led to covid19data.com.au briefly showing more cases than the official total. This has been corrected to match NSW Health's total figure.

What happens when you actually contract #coronavirus? Bridget Wilkins was one of the first confirmed cases in Australia and the past 24 days have been a rough ride for the 29-year-old. #abc730 @GraceTobin @LauraFrancis9 #COVID19AU
“It was quite scary when I got that phone call. I’ll be honest the first question I asked the doctor on the phone was am I going to die? Which sounds a bit dramatic but at that stage I didn’t really know what coronavirus was.” Bridget Wilkins. #coronavirus #abc730 #COVID19AU
“The first four to six days was quite mild in terms of symptoms, I had things you’d have normally when you have a flu or a cold - sore throat, headache, bit of a chesty cough, but nothing too serious.” Bridget Wilkins, #coronavirus patient. #abc730 #COVID19AU
