"OK, so now I have to admit I'm at home because I do have symptoms and after I finish this I'm going to get tested," he told ABC Radio this morning.Dr Swan is the presenter of the Health Report on Radio National and is a multi-award-winning producer and broadcaster.
Dr Swan's career has been highlighted by his desire to keep the Australian public informed of health developments as they happen.What the experts are saying about coronavirus:
Is it forced?!
Wishing you all the best for recovery. Thank you for the work you have done so far. P.S. Be kind folks! Stay safe.
Would he be one of the few with cold symptoms but no known contacts getting a test? Most have to just hope a cold is all they have.
The most sound and sensible voice so far. Take care of yourself normanswan so you can come back and look after us!
I do hope he’s well and back at work soon! I know he has advocated for more widespread testing... What qualified him for a test, seeing as symptoms alone are not enough?
Get well soon Dr Norman Swan 👍
Tell them to also look for his brain if they can find something that small
This is very sad.
Maybe he should have LISTEN to the EXPERTS.....Real Experts
EvacuateAssangeOZ Canberra is colluding in his torture.
Thinking of you normanswan I hope you test negative or get through 2 weeks quarantine with low level symptoms. You have been a calm, reassuring, expert voice in this crisis. Thank you
I thought I heard a cough or two this morning onnRN ~6am. Get well normanswan
Why does the ABC need a their own medical expert
Those piling on Dr Norman Swan and saying the response to Covid19 has been alarmist seem to be the same who reckon Climate Change is a hoax. What a surprise! brainworms sickbot 👾🤖
I don’t like this tweet...
Why is this news? If he tests positive that might be news.
Many thanks to Norman Swan for his straight talking and his cut through with the real information required by us in this crisis. Take care of yourself.
Good Norman, show people what responsibility is.
There goes the ABC budget again
Wishing him a full recovery. Lots of people acting on his advice to self isolate ahead of directions from government has helped slow the spread and save lives.
All the time the ABC has been demanding businesses shutdown, when it turns out the one spreading disease is their own.
Stay home saves lives
Idiots here having a go at Norman's projections of diagnosed cases he made a week ago. Clearly he didn't factor in the fact that the government would continue to limit testing criteria this far ahead. You'll all get a rude shock when they finally test the wider population.
He must have been shit at social distancing. Hope is ok, but I think he has been hyping ppl up and encouraging a full shutdown, disagreeing with gov medical team. Hope he takes a long rest.
BelindaJones68 Maybe the CMO coughed on him... (Here's hoping the test is negative).
What symptoms qualified him for testing?
Physician, heal thyself.
Wouldn’t be surprised if he got it from Peter Dutton. tongueincheek Speaking of which where is he?
Best wishes. I hope he'll still be ableto continue his amazing work in isolation. Video conferencing is an amazing tool.
The only bug in town lol . The rest have left !
He can practice his maths.
Best wishes normanswan for a speedy recovery, covid or otherwise
You can always trust this type of story to bring out the worst in social media, so many who think their ideology or opinion overrides just being a decent person and not a dick
that would be an instant second opinion then.
FakeNews NormanSwan on FakeNews TheirABC
Does he meet the criteria of being in contact with someome from overseas.... or is it due to being famous
A double whammy - the ABC has demoted him to be a mere 'medical expert'.
Hopefully he will self isolate including turning off his phone and the mic. TheirABC
Are they now testing for communuty spread! Or just politicans etc
Obviously didn't take his own advise. Typical ABC Socialist.
Oh no. Not our sensible voice in these times
Maybe listening to misinformation 😉😉, Tim Flannery hold Norman Swan's beer 🍺.
Does he fit the criteria for testing?
You would have to be a moron to believe this scam There are no tests for c19 only generic corona Which have always been with us and always will and most people have in their body to some degree
Could just be a cough & a cold.
oh no
Karma
Hoping he will be OK! We need his sensible voice in these dangerous times! COVID19Aus auspol
