Serious Qs for journalists working at newspapers publishing disinformation in UAP ads: 1. Has your newspaper covered this prominently as an impt story? 2. Has any action been taken by your house committee or whatever is your collective representation? 3. Will you take a stand?

@withMEAA

Also, a serious question for @withMEAA : What are you doing about this? As one of your members, I would like to know what actions you are taking?

@RealOzSAGE

On the eve of the federal election, @RealOzSAGE held a media briefing this afternoon urging coordinated national action to prevent COVID infections & reduce the toll. 999 COVID deaths reported in past 2.5 weeks; there may be 15,000-18,000 deaths from COVID this year, they warn.

@RealOzSAGE

They cite ABS data showing that of deaths occurring up to end of April this year, COVID was the underlying cause of death 89.8% of the time. Currently 761 active outbreaks in aged care. "We need to act to cut deaths" says @RealOzSAGE presentation today.

@RealOzSAGE

As of 8 May, at least 145 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have died due to COVID. Almost all these deaths were in 2022. The age-specific rate shows an increased risk of ending up in ICU or dying from COVID vs non-Indigenous Australians of the same age: @RealOzSAGE

New advice from @RealOzSAGE today: Based on present information, a 3rd vaccine dose could be given any time from two to six months after the second dose. ozsage.org/media_releases… cc @CroakeyNews

"OzSAGE is concerned that the newly revised 5 month booster interval will leave too many Australians vulnerable, and be too late to prevent a surge in Omicron in Australia, as is predicted in the UK. rotecting Australians and the health system...

"Rapidly achieving high third dose coverage is essential for protecting Australians & the health system. OzSAGE notes that as of 12 December, 19,262,415 Australians were double-vaccinated (75% of the population) but only 687,067 (2.7% of the population) had received a 3rd dose.

@AMSANTaus

@AMSANTaus is calling on NT Govt to take urgent action to address growing COVID concerns: “News of a likely positive case in Timber Creek & multiple positive wastewater results appearing in
numerous remote communities underscores the growing & urgent need for a stronger response.

@AMSANTaus

Calls from @AMSANTaus: 1. That the Big Rivers Region, including Katherine, is placed into lockdown with a mask mandate and the 5 reasons to leave homes, initially for 48 hours until the situation is clear.

2. That where cases are confirmed in a remote community a hard lockdown with the ‘contain and
test’ response is immediately applied.
3. That during the lockdown period steps are taken to introduce vaccine passports across the region.
