Primary care is the one thing successive Federal governments steadfastly refuse to invest in
It’s inexpensive, and proven highly effective
Go figure

Unnecessary hospital visits cost around $540 per presentation.
That’s it. That’s the Tweet.

As a citizen of one of those Cwth members that’s not a republic, it felt intrusive to wake up one morning two weeks ago with a new HoS and no say in the matter.
why did @qantas scrub all the frequent flyer points off its customers during Covid whilst @VirginAustralia did not? My alligiance is now to Virgin and my recent flight to Darwin 5 stars
Voting for a new @RACGPPresident starts today and the field is large and interesting but we need someone not in the existing RACGP committees and councils as we cannot negotiate with a Covid headwind that got us huges changes under Dr Karen so now we need a savvy negotiator

I don’t appreciate being interrupted while speaking on serious risks of repeated covid infections.
I particularly don’t appreciate being interrupted by shouting LNP MPs who refuse to wear masks.
We all have a duty to look after each other. Here & everywhere.
Put your mask on! – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

A mask is a small price to pay, to protect those around me and reduce further transmission. Along with vaccination, distancing and ventilation — I’ll be doing my part. I thank everyone doing theirs, too.

The NSW Premier is saying the opposite of what every decent doctor and epidemiologist and scientist is saying. The opposite. He says Covid is nothing. It's less worrisome than the flu. We need people to keep working.
We are all being sacrificed to the rich. Do you see it now?
John Crimmins retweeted
It's the behaviour of people that maintain pandemics. Perfect way to keep it going

Since Long EBV => multiple sclerosis, long HIV => AIDS, long HCV => liver cancer, long HPV => cervical cancer, What is #longcovid going to turn out to be, especially after multiple reinfections/and for kids ? #covid19 #CovidIsNotOver #auspol

Any discussion of suppressing #covid19 transmission? Anyone?

If you are publishing a family doctor's gross billings, without acknowledging his or her astronomical overhead, you are part of the problem, not the solution to the doctor shortage. #doctors #physicians #supportdoctors #healthcarebc #doctorshortage

Australia will reach a total of 10,000 COVID deaths this weekend, a little over 2 years since the pandemic hit Australia. By comparison, a bad flu year would have ~1,000 deaths.

Anyone else notice a shift in who you are following on Twitter?
I am now mostly following/listening to people who believe that the pandemic isn’t over, that we’re on the brink of a second pandemic, and a vaccine only approach won’t save us.
John Crimmins retweeted
The @RACGP welcomes @Mark_Butler_MP announcement deferring planned telehealth compliance rules until September. However, we strongly believe Medicare rebates for longer telehealth phone consultations should be a permanent fixture of the nation’s telehealth system. #telehealth

Dear @DanielAndrewsMP a negative RAT doesn't exclude covid, and if you are unwell you need to rest and not infect others @msanto92 @9NewsMelb
