The simplest, most useful #COVID19Aus resource I’ve seen yet. An assessment you can do on yourself.

COVID-19. Exponential infection curve in Australia. NSW hardest hit. It’s going to be a lot worse, soon, unless there is a miracle. We need more action on social distancing. Not in a month. Not in 2 weeks. Now. We can save lives. We can create a miracle. We can beat it. Do it.

So I’m now working from home and leading MDS from my dining table or breakfast bar! Feel a long way from them but planning some online coffee chats! These wonderfully committed colleagues don’t really know me fully yet and I’m immensely proud of each and every one. UniMelb MDHS

Halting funding for the World Health Organization during a world health crisis is as dangerous as it sounds. Their work is slowing the spread of COVID-19 and if that work is stopped no other organization can replace them. The world needs World Health Organization (WHO) now more than ever.

Check out New Zealand on this graph! Recovered cases are consistently exceeding new cases. Our country, as a team of 5 million, is working towards an ambitious goal of eliminating #COVID19 from our shores. I think we will.

We are pleased to announce the winners of our inaugural Future Leader Awards. These EMCRs are recognised for their hard work, achievements and contributions to the Institute. Congratulations to all of our awardees! #leadership #research #awards bit.ly/2K8JEml
