Another one. This time from @CPHO_Canada No one can say #WeDidntSeeItComing āœ…Current measures are insufficient (grey) āœ…Reopenings are even worse (orange) āœ…The solution is #COVIDzero (notch stronger then the blue line) (In AB ~6 weeks to get2zero)
This is the key graphic from this morning's briefing from @CPHO_Canada. New variants pose a significant threat and could fuel a dramatic spike in COVID infections if they take root as public health measures are lifted.

Myths about schools: it’s not safe to have schools open when there is community transmission #covid19australia #get2zero #elimination #covid19nsw Great thread šŸ‘‡šŸ»
Myths of opening schools: 1. kids don’t get COIVD or get it mildly -> kids DO get COVID, sometimes seriously 2. Kids don’t get it so don’t transmit -> Kids CAN and do transmit. 3. Schools ARE large gatherings, they are locations for super spreader events.

St Vincent’s School cluster growing & traced to father of student who ate at Thai Rock & Apollo Restaurants in Potts Pt. Mother of students in hospital with C19. It’s not safe to have schools open when there’s community transmission. @NSWCHO #get2zero news.com.au/lifestyle/health…

This is very important, so I'll be brief. Please: 1) share this widely. 2) e-mail this paper to your elected officials & school boards, & ask them to adopt the risk-reduction guidelines (or a higher standard). #edutwitter #auspol #onted #BackToSchool2020 mja.com.au/journal/2020/covi…

Teachers too? @SafeWork_NSW Unsafe work environments should be reported. Schools aren’t ensuring adequate measures, based on best available evidence, are being implemented. School staff, students & the broader community are being put at risk #get2zero #elimination #covid19nsw
CALLING VICTORIAN HEALTHCARE WORKERS Thread on how to improve the situation. I have been in touch with WorkSafe Victoria. They need to be told what is happening so they can act. Nobody says anything, nothing happens… #thousandpinpricks 1/12

ā€˜There’s a whole gray spectrum of illness that can happen after COVID-19 that we haven’t even fully learned about yet’ 55% of coronavirus patients still have neurological problems three months later: study #LongCovid #elimination #covid19nsw #get2zero marketwatch.com/story/55-of-…

I don’t have ā€˜COVID fatigue’ I have incompetent govt fatigue. We need urgent action based on best available evidence NOW @endCOVID19 @AlboMP @GladysB @JodiMcKayMP @normanswan @ScottMorrisonMP @billbowtell @CollignonPeter @JohnRHewson @MJA_Editor @jennyleong @johaylen #get2zero

The govt continues to downplay the risk to young people- who benefits? The industries who think they’re protecting their bottom line by preventing stronger actions. But, the economy is tanking despite business being allowed to stay open. #covid19nsw #auspol #get2zero #elimination
ā€œThat is why we have been pushing from the outset to control community transmission. Not to stop it spreading in the fit young people who don’t get very sick but to protect our elderly, that’s what our focus has been.ā€ Young people get very sick - they even die #auspol #COVID19

More #MMT with @AlanKohler. What a champion! If you want to understand how our government can do a better job of managing the economy to ensure an equal opportunity for all to thrive, be sure to tune in. #learnMMT #JobGuarantee #fullemployment #covid19australia #get2zero
Tonight - what is ā€˜Modern Monetary Theory’ and what could it do, post COVID? Alan Kohler is with us to discuss. #TheDrum

Is it any wonder teachers are claiming WorkCover more than other professions? Schools aren’t safe while there’s community transmission #get2zero Victorian teachers lodge more WorkCover claims for impacts of coronavirus pandemic than any other profession abc.net.au/news/2020-08-10/w…

It’s clear schools aren’t safe & as the Tangara cluster demonstrates are ideal environments for super-spreader events. Schools should be closed while there’s community transmission, especially with ā¬†ļø cases of unknown source. #get2zero #endcoronavirus #elimination #covid19nsw

We could achieve elimination, like NZ, within weeks and a safe, confident and permanent re-opening of the economy if we took the advice of this epidemiology expert, @yaneerbaryam - whose advice helped control the Ebola outbreak. #get2zero #elimination @billbowtell @normanswan

"Epidemiologists say, from a purely health perspective, reduced in-school learning should be considered" From a health & economic perspective closing schools makes total sense. C19 cases will rapidly decline allowing a safe reopening after 14 days of '0' cases #get2zero @GladysB

NSW has active community transmission, it is therefore unsafe for in-person teaching to be occurring. In the 3 weeks since the beginning of term 3 - correct me if I'm wrong - there have been over 30 C19 cases with 13 schools closed as a result #get2zero endcoronavirus.org/schools

C-19 is not a virus you just learn to live with, not unless you’re ok with a large swathe of the population suffering serious morbidity as a result of being infected- 55% of patients have neurological problems (brain damage showing up on scans) months after #get2zero #covid19nsw
Article cites multiple studies pointing to major impacts on brain function 55% of coronavirus patients still have neurological problems three months later: study marketwatch.com/story/55-of-…

No mention of the risk our students & teachers are currently facing. It’s unsafe & irresponsible to have schools open while there’s local transmission, as in NSW - lockdown now #qanda #learnMMT #get2zero

Businesses need not go under during the lockdown - the fed govt needs to guarantee 100% wage replacement for all non-essential workers #learnMMT #qanda #get2zero
