Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update:

The risk estimate was flat at 0.4% β€œCurrently Infectious”, or 1-in-271.

That implies a 10% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30.

In Australia we have lots of GPs (FM) with special interests sometimes working with other non-GP specialists to help with that shortfall. Rheum, Derm, Allergy, Psych, Neurology ask difficult to get into so need this sort of support.

'Whole of society discussion': Peak specialist medical body issues demand for drug decriminalisation Australia's largest specialist medical society has called for a number of illicit drugs to be decriminalised across the country.

Great to see @theracp.bsky.social announcing a new position statement around illicit drugs and advocating for decriminalisation. Stopping the cycle of harm through keeping people out of jail and supporting them in improving their health makes so much more sense.

"Long Covid has dramatically changed my life”

2. All bodily systems change and adapt as we move
3. Pain, stress and performance are outputs of the person in a unique context
4. Knowledge and movement are the greatest pain, stress, and disability liberators
5. Biological plasticity gives new hope

Many long COVID patients adjust to slim recovery odds as world moves on.

"The best window for recovery is in the first 6 months after getting COVID-19... People whose symptoms last between 6 months and 2 years are less likely to fully recover"

More something in line with the statement. I’ve been actively trying to switch people from pMDI for quite a few years now, but I imagine a succinct guideline would help prescribers.

For those in the Northern Hemisphere wondering what we are talking about here…
Australia seems to have settled into a pattern of 2 big Covid waves a year, with the summer wave just as big (if not bigger) than winter waves.

And summer in Australia starts in 2 weeks…

Naplan scores remained stable amid Covid school closures: new study

New research from UNSW and the University of Sydney suggests that Naplan scored remained stable during Covid-related school closures, while other countries reported learning losses.

The research, published earlier this year, analysed Naplan test scores across Australian states – comparing differences in student performance based on varying periods of remote learning between 2020 and 2021, with school closures ranging from nine days to 157 days.

Dr Nalini Prasad said students in schools that operated remotely for an extended time β€œperformed similarly to students in schools which were closed for a relatively short period”.

Australia adopted a zero-Covid policy which used lockdowns – and other non-pharmaceutical interventions –pre-emptively to eliminate the transmission of Covid-19.

Per capita Covid case numbers and deaths were considerably lower in Australia. Low Covid case numbers meant that students did not have to miss school due to contracting the virus.

Researchers used Naplan test scores from 2013-2019 as baseline data, comparing them with scores from 2021 and 2022. The data also suggested remote attendance rates were comparable to, and sometimes exceeded, typical in-person schooling levels.
