1627967898454200320 | @BurnetInstitute @liammannix The imp point is not what individuals do, it's the need for governments to take breathing clean air out of the realm of personal responsibility & act to ensure it is clean for everyone. Just as clean water gives us less diarrhea, so clean air will give less respiratory disease. | 65 |
1627765949746249729 | @BurnetInstitute @Globalbiosec @CrabbBrendan @AboutTheHouse Excellent work Brendan and Raina. It was a year ago when i caught #COVID . Since then I have been hospitalised twice for stents and have had many investigations and seen many specialists. Sadly no one yet has any answers. | 11 |
1627561946429149184 | @BurnetInstitute @CrabbBrendan @AboutTheHouse Your clarity is very much appreciated March 15 is International Long COVID awareness day At least half a million Australians would appreciate a strongly worded statement of support and commitment to practical action, despite the unknowns, on the 15th @AlboMP @Mark_Butler_MP | 9 |

1626169590345764864 | Excellent poster by @kaitlinpekin from @BurnetInstitute on defining the mechanisms of action of antibodies against Plasmodium vivax malaria. Very excited to see what comes from your PhD, good luck! #LorneIandI @The_VIIN https://t.co/VUIENyVDpy | 6 |
1627508275800600577 | @BurnetInstitute @CrabbBrendan @AboutTheHouse Thank you! I was infected in Nov. I'm still so ill. Can't get into long covid clinic until June. Can't work. Can't study. Can barely manage to shower some days. We need help asap. I'm lucky to very slowly getting better but may be another 6-8mnths. We can't keep doing this. | 6 |
1626715312073871361 | I reckon if he bothered to look at past 5yrs of pubs by authors with @BurnetInstitute affiliations, he'd see this Institute can more than walk, juggle & chew gum at the same time. But I suspect that amount of consideration b4 speaking is too ambitious. https://t.co/mYaHH4hQT6 https://t.co/ba1eJNFEwt | 5 |

1627757783759360000 | Insightful presentation by @michael_traeger from @BurnetInstitute @DeptPopMed @harvardmed on opportunities for optimising efficiency of #doxyPEP to prevent new #STI diagnoses. Need to look beyond those on #PrEP & #PLWH; to consider periods of higher STI risk. #CROI2023 https://t.co/604R2UqYqA | 5 |

1627526464202743810 | @BurnetInstitute Prevent infection? Very achievable? Seriously? Not a country on the planet managed to achieve that despite some of the harshest restrictions. What exactly do you want to do to achieve that?? Do you ever state what restrictions you are calling for? | 72 |

1627551873812303872 | @CatherineOrr73 @BurnetInstitute No restrictions, just precautions. The first precaution is clean indoor air, provided by improved ventilation where possible, and the provision of HEPA filters where not. Next we need to provide and train people in the use of P2/N95 respirators for hard to ventilate situations. | 43 |
1627512276797521920 | @BurnetInstitute @CrabbBrendan @AboutTheHouse Definitely - I've seen several GPs for help, and was told the heart issues I'm now experiencing are a co-incidence or was otherwise dismissed. I hope the inquiry will help GPs understand this is a real condition we are experiencing. | 42 |

1627515917348536322 | @BurnetInstitute @CrabbBrendan @AboutTheHouse Please provide evidence that 500,000 Australians have long COVID. I'll wait. And why is it that your estimate of the prevalence of long COVID keeps on dropping? Thought you were claiming that it was 20% or more initially. | 39 |
1627508275800600577 | @BurnetInstitute @CrabbBrendan @AboutTheHouse Thank you! I was infected in Nov. I'm still so ill. Can't get into long covid clinic until June. Can't work. Can't study.

1627969118946365440 | @CrabbBrendan @BurnetInstitute @liammannix Exactly, there is no personal responsibility when the air is shared. | 32 |
1627751625841381416 | Fabulous presentation by @michael_traeger on impact and efficiency of different DOXY-PEP strategies for the prevention of STIs. Important work v. likely to guide future policy in the US and elsewhere 👏 @JuliaLMarcus @khmayer1 @FenwayHealth @harvardmed @BurnetInstitute https://t.co/YXfYJn32p9 | 31 |
