Summarization
Brendan Crabb argued in front of the House of Representatives Inquiry into Long COVID and Repeated COVID Infections that half a million Australians likely have Long COVID and that the government should be ambitious in funding for Long COVID research and antivirals. He emphasized the importance of air quality and risk assessment to reduce the spread, as well as investing in vaccination and testing.

- Vaccines & Uptake
Emotional Analysis
The emotions expressed in these tweets are mostly positive, with a focus on gratitude and reassurance. Brendan Crabb is praised for his efforts in the Long Covid Inquiry hearing, and his use of air purifiers and air monitors is seen as a reassuring sign. There is also a sense of urgency in the tweets, as there is a call for more support for long COVID patients and a need to be ambitious in research funding. Finally, there is a mix of frustration and desperation in the tweets, as the lack of recognition of airborne transmission and restrictions on antivirals are seen as "daft in the extreme" and a 3 year old child is unable to be vaccinated against COVID in Australia.
Trend Analysis
- Long-term health effects of COVID-19
- Role of air purifiers, masks and ventilation in COVID-19 prevention
- Importance of vaccinations
- Protest of governmental COVID-19 policies
- Testing and diagnostic capabilities
