Despite underfunded services, early Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership saved hundreds of lives – this is what is possible when we are listened ...

The initial Indigenous-led response to a major health threat that has impacted so negatively on so many populations around the world is a major achievement and clear evidence for a voice. The result is a model of how, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leadership, an expected disastrous pandemic result was prevented. There were no cases in remote communities and no cases associated with the Black Lives Matter marches in major capital cities. In North Queensland, Dr Mark Wenitong brought in the measures that started the national response for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Based on the known risks and previous serious flu epidemics such as H1N1, we knew that many more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were likely to become infected and to have more serious disease. As epidemiologists and medical anthropologists, we were concerned about how coronavirus would impact on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations in Australia.

COVID Cases in SA There have been 3179 new cases of COVID-19 reported in South Australia in the past week. As of 11:59pm Thursday 30 March, there.

Boosters have been administered to 70.1% of eligible South Australians. Other recombinant types made up 38.2% of the total variants (of which 27% were the XBF recombinant variant and 73% are the XBC variant). In the past week, 10,348 people received a PCR test in South Australia, an 11 per cent increase on the previous week. You do not need to register before collecting free RATs but will be required to show your eligible concession card. Deaths may not have occurred in the week in which they were reported. If you are living with disability or immunocompromised, you or your carer need to advise at the Collection Point.

It’s possible many health-care workers in the early days of the pandemic contracted covid, developed some level of immunity and then were better protected as a result. If the test is negative, you have not had covid, and if it’s positive, you have had covid at some point. You might be referring to the readers who write in with questions about what mitigation measures people at high risk for severe illness from covid should continue to take. There are also some online health-care providers who can order the test for you to obtain at your local laboratory. The result needs to be interpreted with caution. They went to a different pharmacy than the one they went to for previous shots and claimed they were seeking their first bivalent vaccine. Your primary-care provider can order the test just as they could order a cholesterol check or a thyroid hormone test. “Are there labs where a vaccinated person can, without a physician’s order, obtain a nucleocapsid antibody test for covid-19 that enables them to determine whether they have already had it? Patients shouldn’t have to jump through so many hoops to get the additional protection they desire. Some physicians interpret the federal guidance differently; even though the “off-label” use of boosters is technically not allowed, they believe in tailoring medical recommendations to their patient’s specific circumstances. The delay by the Food and Drug Administration and CDC is reminiscent of what happened a year and a half ago, when the United States lagged Israel, Germany, Britain and other countries in recommending initial boosters to high-risk groups. I recommend speaking with your physician first to see if they agree that you are particularly vulnerable to severe outcomes from covid-19.

But ultimately, we just need a message to the people of Western Australia that COVID is not over.” Alongside an increase in the severity of cases over the past seven days, there was a slow climb in overall infections to 3,246 from 3168 recorded the previous week. “Basically, we’re in the first part of an upswing,” Dr Duncan-Smith said.

There were 26,531 new confirmed cases across the country this week, up from 23,661 last Friday, while the number of new deaths reported from the virus increased ...

Western Australia and South Australia also both reported more than 3000 new infections. [Hospitalisations](https://www.9news.com.au/hospitals)remained relatively steady, rising to 1508 from 1467, but the number of people in intensive care actually dropped, down from 35 to 33. There were 26,531 new confirmed cases across the country this week, up from 23,661 last Friday, while the number of new deaths reported from the virus increased from 76 to 90 today.

I'm afraid to go to the hospital because I fear contracting COVID-19 again.”

All of the senior living and retirement communities and all communities have dropped masking requirements, and the emergency declaration ends in a few weeks. The current reality seems like we are living in a dystopian Orwell novel that is stranger and more disturbing than fiction. This is the world we live in because of Biden and Walensky. When he was running for president, he chastised Trump for the high COVID numbers, and now he is doing the same thing as Trump. So, I went to the emergency room and was traumatized because I was there for 14 hours, just in the waiting room, a high-risk patient next to COVID patients. When I finally got into the bed provided for me, they told me they were out of Tele-Pack units, a system that combines a monitor, a light source and a camera, so they couldn’t treat me. J: We have anti-mask Republicans in one camp, and in the other, the Democratic Party has gaslighted the public into thinking that if we get COVID, it’s somehow our fault. The second time I contracted the virus was at a Target Optical center a couple of months ago. That was the only contact I had. I was living there at the time and taking the subway back and forth to work. I remember it because it was St. Jennifer’s experience is being submitted as testimony to the Global Workers’ Inquest into the COVID-19 Pandemic, which seeks to break through the lies, cover-ups and misinformation spread internationally by capitalist governments and the media.

Another case of measles was also reported in South Australia this week – the sibling of the three-year-old who A woman in her 20s contracted the infectious disease, bringing the total number of tuberculosis cases to 11 in the APY Lands. "Unfortunately there was only one toilet at this facility for staff to use, so there's about 70 staff that we're in the process of contacting this afternoon," Professor Spurrier said. Professor Spurrier also said a case of Hepatitis A had been reported in South Australia with a young fast-food outlet worker contradicting the disease after returning from an overseas holiday. "That doesn't mean that we're going to have a really bad season, it's too early in the season to tell," Professor Spurrier said. A new wave of COVID-19 has hit South Australia, with updated modelling predicting the state to record up to 7,000 cases over the next four days.

Influenza database GISAID says it was the first to publish it, but many virologists disagree.

[the forum virology.org](https://virological.org/t/novel-2019-coronavirus-genome/319/2) early in the morning of Jan. Still, this apparently banal disagreement could end up further eroding trust in GISAID—and perhaps even in genome sharing, a critical aspect of the scientific community’s response to deadly viruses. [The World Health Organization (WHO)](https://www.who.int/news/item/27-04-2020-who-timeline---covid-19), too, does not mention the Jan. But while the agency reports receiving the genome sequence from the Chinese authorities on Jan.

The genome went live on Through it, scientists have been able to access genetic information of the latest strands of flu, including bird flu, and collaborate on responses. Among such information, it described its role in contributing to covid research, saying that that in early 2020, “the China CDC made the first whole-genome sequences available to the world via GISAID shortly after midnight on 10 January 2020 UTC.”

The argument has been made that zero-Covid would "flatten the curve" of the pandemic. This has not happened in countries following zero-Covid policies.

What is less certain, but – to speak coldly about human tragedy – more important, for the rest of the world, will be the extent of the economic impact. We will examine some of the answers to that question in future columns. “Flattening the curve” proved to be illusory. This implies that there will be millions of Covid deaths in China in the coming year(s). Flattening the curve was widely touted in the early stages of the pandemic, as the smarter way to manage the pandemic, slowing down and spreading out the impact of the disease. Actually, “curve-flattening” had been a trope of the public health industry prior to Covid. Flattening is a simple (and perhaps simplistic) policy model, easy to communicate visually, free of the elaborate statistical arguments typical of most epidemiological models. - “Flattening the curve was already a well-understood concept in public health circles. But ending zero-Covid means exposing the population to the full force of the pandemic. It is possible that more lives are lost at the end by this process.” That is the key to the logic here. It continues to circulate widely in the 175 countries not following an “elimination” strategy.

Advocates ask the US biomedical agency to rethink the design of its RECOVER initiative, citing possible harm and funding waste.

But patient advocates still worry that the trials are a waste of time and money. All of this has advocates concerned about the inclusion of exercise trials in the RECOVER initiative. The NIH did not make the representatives available to Nature for an interview by the time this story was published and said that the full protocols for the trial would be released publicly only after they have been reviewed by an institutional review board. Advocates want to see the RECOVER exercise protocols because they are concerned that trial participants will not be adequately informed about the potential risks; that participants will not be properly screened for PEM; and that researchers will not sufficiently monitor people for harm in the hours after the exercise regimen or after the trial concludes. They argue that a large proportion of people with long COVID have reported experiencing post-exertional malaise (PEM) — a worsening of symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty regulating body temperature and cognitive dysfunction, after even light exercise — and worry that putting certain RECOVER participants through exercise trials could cause them harm. Patients and patient advocates are calling on the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) to reconsider its decision to include exercise trials in its RECOVER initiative, which aims to study and find treatments for long COVID.

New COVID-19 cases have jumped by 18 percent nationally – the highest week-on-week increase since the start of December.

There’s never been a more important time to explain the facts, cherish evidence-based knowledge and to showcase the latest scientific, technological and engineering breakthroughs. Deaths: 0 (0 last week) More than 26,500 new cases were reported across states and territories this week.
