So disappointed to hear this “joke” about #longcovid on @Channel10AU #HYBPA Long Covid is no joke, it has disabled millions.

[Vicki Barmby @vbarmby]

@VictorianCHO Yes I have noticed. As someone who is immune compromised and suffering from long covid it. I do all I can to protect myself, bringing masks back in medical settings would go a long way to help.

Long COVID Support Australia has released the below statement in response to recent comments made by Queensland's Chief Health Officer, Dr. John Gerrard, regarding Long COVID. These comments have overshadowed International Long COVID Awareness Day, causing distress for sufferers.

Must,must listen for everyone…

“…infectious diseases don’t allow us to only think of ourselves..”

Brilliant message from @VictorianCHO to those that think more of themselves and ignore their collective responsibility to the rest of the community

Last night on behalf of Melburnians, our Councillors declared a climate emergency.
Since 2003, we’ve had a strong record of reducing emissions, restoring and conserving biodiversity, and preparing our city for the impacts of climate change.

[City of Melbourne @cityofmelbourne]

We’re planting trees, creating rooftop gardens & connecting the urban forest across Melbourne to turn the city into a sea of green. Greening the city is one of the ways we’re acting on climate change- helping to buffer the city from extreme weather.

With #waterstorages at a new all time low you may be asking why severe water restrictions aren’t being introduced. We've been planning for our future & learned lessons from the #MillenniumDrought that took a great toll on our daily lives: https://t.co/n0n80ifrCC

Melbourne Water storages fall below 50% today. Inflows to dams now one third lower than historical average as result of Climate change. Need to save water, use non rainfall dependent sources like stormwater and desalination. ⁦@MelbourneWater⁩ ⁦
