As it approaches midnight in Australia and the rest of the world will awaken soon.

A terrible reminder of Cøvid... And it's not over any time soon.

For my many damaged and struggling patients 😔💔

We stand in support of everyone who has experienced or continues to experience long COVID, this long COVID Awareness Day. We’re researching the impacts of COVID infections to help find answers and solutions to tackle long COVID. www.burnet.edu.au/knowledge-an...

Today, March 15, 2025, is #LongCOVIDAwarenessDay.
We stand with those affected, advocate for research, and raise awareness for better care and recovery. 💙

#LongCOVID #COVIDisNotOVER

It is #LongCOVID Awareness Day. At least 10% of people will experience symptoms for many months, even years after COVID. These can be debilitating & impact everyday things we all take for granted. We hear you! Our lab is studying the causes behind LC. We hope to find better diagnostics & treatments.

Did anyone see on Q&A that:

Aust Health Minister @markbutlermp.bsky.social announced the “END OF COVID” on the show this wk?😳 🤬

Ongoing deaths, ongoing LC chronic disability, ongoing repeated infections, ongoing waves, ongoing pressure on healthcare, but 4 Butler it’s ended 🤦‍♀️

Disinformation

Australia: The latest COVID booster will soon be available. Should I get one? Am I eligible?

"Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has recently approved a new COVID booster. The shot was developed by Pfizer and targets the JN.1 sub-variant of Omicron."

Australia won't get a pass.

Our Long C-19 numbers are racking up with speed. Zero interest from Albo Pty Ltd. If we know this, then Treasury and Finance have modelled it. Albo Pty Ltd must have seen the data?

Insurance has baked it in already.

Doing nothing will be unaffordable

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Going out on a limb here: I think we are at the start of a new Covid wave.
