If the war has changed, as the CDC states, so has the calculus of success and failure.

The extreme contagiousness of delta makes herd immunity a more challenging target, infectious-disease experts said. https://t.co/XjehxPdrf6

This tiny pygmy possum has been found on Australia's Kangaroo Island despite bushfires devastating animal habitats last summer

It has given hope to ecologists who feared the species had been wiped out

Are you concerned, like me, that so many people in our rural communities have risk factors for poorer outcomes from Covid-19? Diabetes and chronic lung disease are over-represented in Australian fatalities. What’s working in your town to make a difference? https://t.co/BtWavqwUsp

I annotated @StevenJHarper1's timeline on the US response to #COVID19 https://t.co/2mOTrpImgu
w/ some important lapses on testing and our missed chance for getting ahead of it.
My summary and its impact on the #healthcare workforce: https://t.co/c3Wmb3Rxw0

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

What will go down as the biggest breakdown in the US response to #COVID19 is the lack of test kits. South Korea and the US had their 1st patients on Jan 20 and Jan 21, respectively. Look at the difference in daily testing. By March 4th, SK was ~18,000 per day.

Plant based fake meats are not derived from plant parts of the vine, but from their isolates and other ultra-processed ingredients. @LA_CHEFs compares fake meats vs regenerative farming products on health and the environment.

On every single table at GP conference I’m about to deliver keynote lecture at is a full sugar bottle of Coca Cola. Not exactly sending the right message in the middle of an #obesity epidemic #NHS

[Darling Downs Health @darlingdownshhs]

Did you know Australia’s first appendicectomy was carried out in Toowoomba on a kitchen table (!) in 1893 by Dr Herbert Nolan. The patient was 30-year-old, mother of four Emma Webb. The main building at the hospital is now named in Emma's honour (and bravery!) #throwbackthursday

[Dr Shawn Baker 🥩 @SBakerMD]

These are humans displaying the health that we are evolved to have- this is what a diet prioritizing meat looks like- embrace your place among the apex predators to which you belong and free yourself from disease! #yes2meat

This week we welcomed 14 graduate midwives who will start their careers with Darling Downs Health! Part of their orientation was face-to-face sessions as well as some simulation training in the birth suite.
Welcome to the team!

[Qld Clinical Senate @qldclinsenate]

Our new Chair, Dr Alex Markwell, has been out and about meeting members of the Senate Executive. Today she took a trip to Toowoomba to meet Annette Scott (pictured left), ED of Allied Health for @darlingdownshhs. Thanks for the hospitality! #clinicianengagement

[Caryn Zinn PhD @CarynZinn]

Serious impact- hope they take this back to Aus and question current “best practice”

[Peter Gillies @sirmunkel]

@almarkwell Well done Alex
