Australian COVID-19 weekly stats update:
The risk estimate fell again, to 0.1% “Currently Infectious”, or 1-in-1,625. This is a fresh “all time” low (since this analysis started in late 2022).
That implies a 2% chance that someone is infectious in a group of 30.

People who recovered from mild–moderate COVID-19 still show persistent lung and vascular inflammation. This ongoing inflammatory response suggests COVID can have systemic, long-term effects that may raise cardiovascular (CV) risk even after symptoms improve.

First pass at the #SurvivorAU cast photo:
-While the AU alums are split evenly between the blue (Simon, Harry) and green (Brooke, Mark) tribes, it looks like the other RTV vets (Cat, Johnson, Don Rogers) are all on the green tribe.
-The word on the buffs is probably "Redemption," not tribe names?

Agreed. A natural merge is entertaining enough TV as it is without trying to shoehorn a ‘Probstian’ twist in there.
Probstian is a term I’ve coined: To shoehorn a redundant or regressive game-mechanic into Survivor.
The ‘hourglass twist’ being peak Probstian.

As a late diagnosed #autistic I rewatched the movie ‘Malcolm’ whose protagonist is *so* obviously autistic.
It makes so much sense now why I really related to Malcolm when I saw it as a child. Although I didn’t know what #autism was.

Slowly but surely the big institutions are catching up. C19 damage is making it into the medical mainstream. People have published it for a long time, now it’s turning up in teaching materials, public announcements.
