@PropertyCouncil @ABCaustralia Great to see migration in the news. Note that 145,980 people migrated to Qld from interstate in 2021. 95,820 people also departed to other states and territories.

@NickP1963 Awful.

@filipebatsilv @RPanczak @GeogDave Not yet Australia unfortunately!

[Elin Charles-Edwards @elinched]

@RPanczak @filipebatsilv @GeogDave It would be great to have access to similar data in Australia!

Take a look: @Julia_Loginova and @PiaWohland have put together a dashboard of COVID-19 cases in Queensland. https://t.co/Rzi3M4zZ74

@NickP1963 The sex differentials are really interesting. Are young men less likely to get tested?

@mountaintina This feels like death by a thousand cuts. A complete shut down is coming let's just get it over and done with. Once its contained within the country then we can at least resume domestic consumption.

Why are we giving up on eradication in favour of flattening the curve? Surely being an island is a massive strategic advantage.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

@DemographyOz @DrDemography @NickP1963 @Elias_Hallaj @sanj971 @ACTINOSProject I think (hope) it will be minimal in MDRs. I have serious concerns about e0 in indigenous communities as well as in places like Syria. Younger age structures will help, but will not make up for under resourced health systems. We have a duty to protect vulnerable populations.

@DemographyOz @DrDemography @NickP1963 @Elias_Hallaj @sanj971 @ACTINOSProject As long as I am not teaching future first years about the impact of COVID-19 on e0 I will be happy.

@AppliedDemog I have gone with Africa by Toto.

Overall its a thumbs up from me for The Australian Government's Planning for Australia's Future Population. I hope the proposed Centre for Population will provide a foundation for future policy and will attract bipartisan support.

Let us not forget that, according to John Graunt's Bills of Mortality (for London in 1662), 51 people died of a headache.
