@AugersMonster Being the few that still wears a mask, I think I must’ve missed the news that covid is over or something?

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@AugersMonster There hasn’t been much absenteeism or cases lately, I think most of the kids if not all have had it. Our school had book week parade, elderly grandparents, parents, the lot crowded into hall & classroom - unmasked, with exception of a handful of elderly.

@somewherein84 I had something similar, an awesome mechanic resolved to sniff the petrol and said it smelled weird, as it turned out I had fuel contamination.

@bee_9260 @SParnis And just like that, our gov is too afraid to even mandate mask wearing!!!

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@BurnetInstitute @drkerrynphelps @Mark_Butler_MP @MaryAnneThomas @ama_media @theMJA @normanswan @Raf_Epstein @AAMRI_Aus The fact is, mask wearing won’t increase. The political pitch that people ‘should know what to do by now’ isn’t making a difference.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DanielAndrewsMP It would be great if you could make them available at schools too.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DrShaneRRR Sorry to hear. On the flip side, it’s exhausting hearing everyone tell me I’m worried about nothing. Apparently everyone that’s had it is perfectly fine…

Must,must listen for everyone…

“…infectious diseases don’t allow us to only think of ourselves..”

Brilliant message from @VictorianCHO to those that think more of themselves and ignore their collective responsibility to the rest of the community

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DanielAndrewsMP Thanks for your help to curb the pandemic, my 8yo is the only kid in his entire primary school wearing his mask like a shield. My heart goes out to him for acting responsibly, but it is unfair that he bears it alone.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@MaryAnneThomas How naive it is to think that the latest communication ‘encouraging’ mask wearing is going to do anything. You have explicitly adopted a model that has been proven to fail in terms of changing peoples health behaviour at a very critical time.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DanielAndrewsMP What about the part where you could mandate mask wearing to ease the pressure?

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@FerrierSteph A teacher told the class ‘anyone who has a mask, please put it on’ - not one child had one on them.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DrJaneMunro @VictorianCHO @VicGovDH @VicGovAu @SaferCareVic @VicHealth @SandroDemaio Mask recommendations are futile without any mandates in place.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DanielAndrewsMP Reducing transmission does not mean we have to have lockdowns. Proper N95 masks help protect healthcare workers in the hospital, why do you refuse to mandate it for other indoor situations - offices, schools, public transport?

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DanielAndrewsMP More than 1 in 5 adult Covid survivors in the U.S. may develop long Covid, a C.D.C. study suggests. https://t.co/9j7pf8VPNh

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@1CeliaGreen It is the norm now. Our kids year level had kids return after 7 days off with covid. They are coughing and unmasked. What can you do?

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@AugersMonster @Muminmelb I had to drop everything to pick up the kids so that they wouldn’t starve through wet/inside lunch - because they understand the risks of taking off the mask.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@AugersMonster @rivkhali5 @DanielAndrewsMP @VictorianCHO Ours has had most of this week off due to a close contact kid sitting beside him on Monday. Fortunate we did because cases were reported for his class last night. So whilst the close contact can go school and spread their germs, we have to iso to avoid them.

[Stellarescent @Stellarescent]

@DrShaneRRR At this stage it’s enough delight to even spot the rare mask wearer let alone a ‘good quality’ one!
