“Infection does not produce long-lasting immunity,” says Dr Cassandra Berry, a professor of Viral Immunology at Murdoch University. “Antibodies will wane after a few months and are unreliable in neutralising the virus.” According to Berry – who is no relation to this writer – immunity from the vaccine, while not perfect, is more protective than natural immunity through infection.

Two years since first confirmed COVID-19 case arrived in AustraliaSince January 2020, almost 1.9 million infections have been reported nationwide. 9News Missed the point again most of the first infections come from a boat called the Ruby Princess full of hillsong cultists It would seem from that happening, that politicians are not judged on what they do day to day, but how they handle the inevitable crisis that might arise. 2 years of horror caused by GOVERNMENTS, 2 years of my life and millions of others wasted. For what? The politicians responsible should be charged with crimes against humanity.

Victoria records 35 COVID-19 deaths, hospitalisations at 1,089The state has recorded 13,507 new infections. Of the people in hospital, 113 are in intensive care units and 40 are on ventilators. You describe Vic's hospitalisation figures as 'hovering around 1,000 for past 6 days', but you won't describe that as a 'plateau'. Is that word exclusively for NSW use? You have used it twice in the past three days for NSW. COVID19Vic LOL Died FROM Covid? or Died WITH Covid?

Thousands of NSW children absent from childcare as staff shortages hit record highsThe Omicron wave has battered the sector, with closed centres and COVID-19 infections forcing thousands of children to miss out on care in January. lucy_carroll How good is Letting it Rip! lucy_carroll Decided to keep son home as day care reported 5 exposures that week. The risk too great as I'm pregnant and family members who care for him on other days have underlying health conditions. No support for workers or parents-no gap fee waiver this time, even though risk is greater lucy_carroll Low paid workers choose to do other stuff. Who would have guessed ? Maccas pays more than childcare work. Which wouldn't be so bad if you didn't consider the co payments the government makes or the training the workers have to pay for themselves.
