Australia now 1-month into easing of restrictions. Chief Medical Officer (CMO) notes...
-more than half of the past week's #COVID19 cases via travel
-only community transmission in 1 State in past week
-Aus well prepared for more via returning travel, pockets of local cases, small outbreaks
-everyone needs 2b tested
-protests create risk and make contact tracing very difficult ("these sort of events really are dangerous")
-please don't attend further events - "you cannot make them safe"
-"Please express your genuine concerns about issues in other ways"
"We have not seen a clear case of [#SARSCoV2] transmission on a domestic flight in Australia"
--implying because of good air handling
--not a very high-risk environment

This is crap. Don't listen to me over the @who (alongside... maybe)
These guys do their job FOR A LIVING. All the time. No one gets everything 100% right 100% of the time.
Dial this anti-WHO BS down. You're playing into the hands of dusruptors and morons.
When I whinge about the @WHO, it’s about a specific issue. Something that could be done differently – or IMHO - better. I’m never saying the Organization has failed. To say that is to fail to understand the sheer scope of what they try to do..
.., how much dancing on eggshells around fragile, despotic and disparate egos they have to excel at to get things done and to be funded on any given day, how many lives they have/do save with that funding (despite often the wrong-headed & petulant reasons for..

What is a false positive coronavirus test? How is it possible? abc.net.au/news/2020-06-0…
"Usually due to a lab being contaminated with the virus or with product from a previous test"
-or clinic
-also sometimes due to quirks of the test; which is why we try to validate well
And to clarify
"Certainly at the moment there was no active infection present, but what may have happened is that it was the end of a previous infection — the test may have detected a little bit of that going on,"
- certainly is too strong a sentence starter.
Just to be clear, I don't have any inside info on the autopsy. It was reported that the deceased "did not have the disease after all" (news.com.au/lifestyle/heal…)
