@WhatTimeDan No retirement yet 😂

You could be the difference between someone making it out to the polls or staying home. And many states could be decided by a handful of votes. Join me and make some calls for Joe in the last few days of this election: https://t.co/FZknijCx0E

@TimSmithMP Who looks ridiculous now?

[Monash Health @MonashHealth]

Monash Health’s Helen Richards had a surprise call with @rogerfederer, which aired at the US Open Women’s Final on @ESPN as part of the @USTA's Champion to Champion initiative, recognising those who have worked in the fight against COVID-19.

5-time #USOpen champion @RogerFederer met critical care nurse and healthcare champion Helen Richards ❤️

Academic peeps: I've lived through many disasters. Here is my advice on "productivity". First, play the long game. Your peers who are trying to work as normal right now are going to burn out fast. They're doomed. Make a plan with a longer vision. /1

@VictorianCHO @ruffety_deb @vanOnselenP @SteveGibbonsXMP @DanielAndrewsMP What is your opinion on your fan pages? Are you getting a good giggle out of them?

[jo begbie @jobegbie]

@TheOnlyJonty @VictorianCHO @Raf_Epstein @ruffety_deb @vanOnselenP @SteveGibbonsXMP @DanielAndrewsMP Most are nurses because most of the workforce is nurses

[jo begbie @jobegbie]

@kathylord2 @VictorianCHO @ruffety_deb @vanOnselenP @SteveGibbonsXMP @DanielAndrewsMP Maybe the journalists could try to represent the people instead of trying to sensationalize

[jo begbie @jobegbie]

@VictorianCHO @ruffety_deb @vanOnselenP @SteveGibbonsXMP @DanielAndrewsMP Please can you talk about face shields being no replacement for face masks. If you wear a face shield you still have to wear a mask 😷 #COVID19Victoria

[jo begbie @jobegbie]

@VictorianCHO @ruffety_deb @vanOnselenP @SteveGibbonsXMP @DanielAndrewsMP This is brilliant because the journalists seem to have zero concept of asking you the questions people want them to ask. #peoplesjournalism

[Chief Health Officer, Victoria @VictorianCHO]

@ruffety_deb @vanOnselenP @SteveGibbonsXMP @DanielAndrewsMP Alright, flag your COVID-19 questions and I’ll do my best to respond to them in future pressers. <awaits 2.3 billion questions>

[Chief Health Officer, Victoria @VictorianCHO]

So although it might protect *you*, it won’t properly protect others if you are infected. So please, no valves on masks for COVID-19. Thanks!

[Chief Health Officer, Victoria @VictorianCHO]

What’s the story with masks with valves? Well, they shouldn’t be used for COVID protection. It allows the wearer to breathe out more easily and stops moisture build-up, but the problem is that it allows you to breathe out virus if you’re infected.

[Dan Andrews @DanielAndrewsMP]

Twenty-six Victorians under the age of 40 are currently in hospital with coronavirus.

Five are in intensive care. No idea when – or if – they'll make it home.

To anyone who still thinks this only affects older people:

It doesn't.

[ANMF - Australian Nursing Midwifery Federation @anmf_federal]

If everyone does what they can to #FlattenTheCurve we can slow the affect of #COVID_19 on our healthsystem and it's frontline workers. Washing hands, cough hygiene, social distancing, self-isolating & staying away from elderly & immuno-compromised if you have any symptoms.
