What do you do when a little kid called Lyra gets told 'girls don't like creepy crawlies'?
You call your friends, like @TanyaLatty @Yiing @graciegliu @DJJosieStyles @pbeasleyhall @jodirowley for backup. #girlsDOlikespiders

Quick thread on the ANU modelling being reported this morning that has some scary numbers of deaths being projected if we 'open up' at 70% vax coverage.

It looks very scary.

But it's not a model that resembles the reality of what any authority in Australia is proposing. 1/

[Catherine Luckin @cluckin]

@ServicesGovAU I’ve been trying to get a Medicare number for my newborn for more than 4 months - filled in the online form twice, emailed and called - phones too busy and always say call back later, I never even get into the queue. Any suggestions of how I can get this resolved?

@jjbw Don’t question the meritocracy

[Catherine Luckin @cluckin]

Just heard a bunch of kids in the park arguing about whose parents had been vaccinated first… that’s the spirit! 💉💪

[jonathan jb webb @jjbw]

How good is this? They know.
This is a country where they've had 3 long periods of lockdown and >120k deaths from COVID.
Without vaccines, they wouldn't be sitting (standing) in that stadium.
