@UniWestLondon Well done Martin!

[IPS @IPS_Infection]

Ass Prof Alison McMillan Aus Chief Nurse makes a call to arms to @ACIPC to influence creation of the CDC in Aus. Don’t wait to be asked, seize the moment. A learning moment here for @IPS_Infection

On the new Centre for Disease Control, here are 28 questions requiring your attention https://t.co/FaHq7vrfg8

@PeteUK7 I think this to too simplistic, although the concept has merit. Most respiratory infections are spread by a various methods, and to give one means of transmission a higher priority might reduce the likelihood of compliance with prevention strategies against other means.

Is this appropriate communication about masks? @MackayIM

@MackayIM Even CostCo in Australia seems to only have Glad Wrap.

@MsahWu I don't care if he is the PM. He is in a hospital with sick kids who are at risk of severe disease if they get a respirarory infection, including COVID-19. Wear a mask, please, out of respect for these kids - or at least keep your distance from them if you won't wear a mask.

There exists a lot of misinformation regarding Danish COVID-19 numbers. On this page, we are answering some of the most typical ones. https://t.co/1ytMYn6x3R

@anika_gauja @ramonshaban @Sydney_Uni Well done Ramon, and well deserved!

Now this is so cool!

The rise of drug-resistant pathogens threatens to undo more than a century’s work of health progress and undermine the very foundations of modern medicine. Spread awareness and stop #AntimicrobialResistance. #WAAW #AMR #HandleWithCare

This is why I'm pretty lukewarm on boosters and doses for kids. Absolutely of individual and Australian societal benefit, but the developing world needs them way more than we do.

Also include a focus on making sure remote living Aussies are vaccinated before boosting the cities.

@IPCPau @GriffithNursing No zombie references? 😁

[Michael Wishart @mickwish]

This is the sad reality in Australia. Not recklesz antivaxxers getting disease by their choices, but those from low socio-economic backgrounds who have missed out on vaccination for a myriad of reasons.

@suemillward1 @MattM_RN Absolutely. #ACIPC

[Sue Millward 💙 😷 @suemillward1]

We need to expand our vocabulary from IPC nurses to IPC practitioners and include our professional colleagues in other areas of healthcare who contribute so much to #infectionprevention #IP2021
