@qldhealth If the case number is correct, that means the Omicron is becoming more and more lethal due to spread as you can clearly see the record of deaths😱

Such an interesting read to give us what we could see for the future, using tourism as an example to link #COVID19 & #climatechange, the common threats to humanity.

[Stefan Gössling @StefanGossling]

This was the earliest comment on tourism and COVID, now downloaded >300,000 times, and (probably) the most read tourism paper ever: https://t.co/dFzOD1beFl. For those still caring/coping, here is a 'two-years of' follow-up: https://t.co/4qrjIM7UwN

Prof Robert Booy, an infectious diseases paediatrician at UniSyd says taking a lackadaisical attitude toward Omicron is a dangerous gamble. Love the words "Your behavior is not about yourself, but about your community."

@AnnastaciaMP NSW and VIC have higher vaccination rate than QLD, if they are not prepared and under pressure, how QLD can be prepared with fewer resources?

[Michael Chen @uqmichaelchen]

It's so worth reading and hopefully listening to this research fellow, the top expert in biosecurity on the two pathways lying before us. #Covid_19 #COVID19au

This kind of research might prepare for the possible food shortage due to climate change and growing population.

A revolutionary technology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to convert Co2 to starch which will save cultivated land and freshwater resources! In the future carbon trading will be hot but we may need to buy as too little Co2 left!

China successfully sent three astronauts into its Space Station, another great feat of humankinds!

Tens of thousands of mourners flocked to Changsha to pay respects to Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice”, who helped save #China from hunger

[Michael Chen @uqmichaelchen]

Remember the hero behind the 1/5 world hybrid rice for higher yield and the rice species to address the common cadmium heavy metal pollution - Yuan Longping. https://t.co/RGKncf4mWm

China becomes the second country to put a rover on Mars and with its Rover called "God of Fire" successfully landed on Utopia Planitia.

The race for #mRNA vaccine is on to better cope with the new variants of #COVID19 virus. This ARCOV one could be stored at 2-8 degrees Celsius for six months, less logistics stringent than its predecessors.

Comparison of China's #tiangong Space Station vs #ISS after its core module #Tianhe was successfully launched to its orbit.

Looks like #UQ has two teams of #COVID19 vaccine development, one still trying the molecular clamp technology and now this team using #mRNA technology similar to #Pfizer. Hope is doubling!

[UQ News @UQ_News]

#COVID19 has highlighted the importance of building Australia’s #R&D capability in mRNA technology.

A pilot facility @AIBNatUQ could soon be producing mRNA vaccines and #cancer therapies.

Thanks @NCRISimpact @TIA_Aust for investing in #UQresearch.

China's EAST recently got approval for another funding to build an artificial sun without radiation waste via nuclear fusion.This part of a global initiative proves that human can really join hands. https://t.co/46QbvUnFk6

China has this ambition of a thousand year plan to build this exemplary city of future as a combination of New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

[Eunice Yoon @onlyyoontv]

A whirlwind couple weeks!🌪 This week Shanghai. Last week Hebei Province. As @POTUS tries to pass his massive infrastructure plan, #China is already plowing money into very ambitious construction projects such as President Xi’s model city of Xiongan. My report on @CNBC:

[Michael Chen @uqmichaelchen]

Chengdu Tianfu International Airport due to open in June 2021 with 3 runways first and expected capacity of 90 million people annually will become the 3rd Chinese city to have dual airports after Beijing & Shanghai.

Looks like we haven't seen the light yet for the battle with #COVID19 as the vaccine may not give us a full armour...

[HKU Medicine @hkumed]

Study in @CellReports by @HKUMed show human neutralizing antibodies suppresses #SARSCoV2 in lungs however "robust viral infection in nasal turbinate may outcompete the antibody with significant implications to subprotection, reinfection & vaccine."#COVID19 https://t.co/wSzMf4TtrC
