I haven’t heard of any updated vaccines for influenza “clade K”, anywhere.

Most doses are given to Australians in our autumn which was 6+ months ago - protection will have waned a lot by now, adding to the problem.

As we head into the new academic year in Australia, I'd like to reshare this document of #neurodivergent study tips that I compiled.

It's based entirely on tips by neurodivergent people, and I have had learning advisors tell me it was very helpful and had good info.

Sadly, that seems unlikely in any Australian jurisdiction, leaving the most vulnerable in our society to bear the impact into December.

Some encouraging news from Japan, where their wave of "clade K" looks quite short and sharp. Note they did pre-emptively return to masking in healthcare settings, well before the wave peaked.

"Activity" (patients in the ED) has been in the “white” zone (off the charts) continuously over that period. The peak on Friday night was around double capacity.

South Australia’s fragile hospital system looks to have been smashed by this second influenza wave. Here’s the Emergency Dept dashboard for LMH in northern Adelaide showing the last ~48 hours.

Here’s the picture for Australia, comparing to the last few years to highlight how unusual this season is. In recent years, we hit the bottom of the inter-season trough in October.

With "clade K" featuring 7 new mutations and evading the 2025 vaccines, I expect many relying on immunity from their earlier 2025 infection are getting a second influenza infection for the year.

The latest Australian Respiratory Surveillance Report confirms my earlier speculation that the new "clade K" (H3N2 clade 2a.3a.1, subclade K) is driving the "unusual" second wave of influenza in Australia.

Western Australia had been spared the worst of this second wave until the last week or so. But now there’s a signal of a sharp change in case momentum there also.

Australian Influenza update:

It became clear during November that a unusual second wave of influenza is underway in Australia, driven by the new "clade K" (H3N2 clade 2a.3a.1, subclade K).

Tasmania, New South Wales and South Australia are currently the hardest-hit.

Oil and gas giant Inpex has admitted to srsly under-reporting its cancer-causing pollution (incl. benzene, sulphur dioxide & hydrogen sulphide) just days before a major oil spill at their Darwin gas plant. Inpex is a major gas exporter. Last year they paid no royalties and no resource tax! #auspol

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) will restore the previous colour scheme on its rain radar and weather map.

It comes after the BOM's new $4.1 million website received a wave of backlash.

kind of annoys me when people use the aesthetics of graffiti to show they're edgy and cool while also calling for more punitive laws, which punish the graffiti artists who give that aesthetic its cultural meaning
