Great summary of our co-EC Study, thanks @aidsmap aidsmap.com/news/oct-2020/… @BurnetInstitute @AlfredHealth @MargaretHellard @MonashUni @ECPartnershipAU
Another day of 00, with zero cases and zero deaths.
👏🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩👏 Well done, Victoria💓
Over the coming days, and as we head to COVID normal, heads up that there will be changes to the data reported in this tweet. twitter.com/VicGovDHHS/sta…

Yes, that's more correctly 3.2 million pairs of nostrils and throats. Thanks to all those that got tested, but a special shout out to the lab workers who have been working around the clock to process them all - an incredible effort.
3,246,852 nostrils (minus a bit of saliva) this year!
That's a great philosophy.

Ha ha... umm...
Well done Anne for all the work you've done this year under difficult circumstances, and for sending a group to DHHS to help out!
Yes, around then. There have been a few days where I had thought we weren't going to have any cases when I checked before going to bed before finding one in the morning.
Came out of retirement for this!
Ah, yes, you're correct.
There were no reported cases of COVID in Australia in the community yesterday. This isn't anywhere near over, but a whole lot better than where we've come from.
Could just dress up as reviewer 2!

Rhonda is a legend (and also needs a break!)
Time for a few days off! Thank you Victoria for all your efforts in suppressing this second wave, and please stay safe. I'll be signing out for a bit.

This year, I've felt like I've moved from curling to MMA!
It would be curling - furious effort to keep the rock of knowledge moving.
A community case is an infection acquired in the community (as opposed to in hotel quarantine, acquired overseas). A mystery case ("unknown source") is when it can't be established who transmitted the infection to them.
Not in Victoria (yet) - Shepparton and Kilmore wastewater went positive just as we found cases, and we didn't find any cases in Apollo Bay after a positive despite extensive testing. Not sure about other states.
Wonderful recognition. Congrats @edwardcholmes smh.com.au/national/nsw/v…
I got myself one this morning after dropping the kids off at school!
#BREAKING: Victoria has recorded NO new cases of coronavirus and no deaths overnight.
It’s the first official day of zero cases since early June.
Yes, that's correct for close contacts. They are getting daily calls/visits to reinforce what's required.
No, quarantine and day 11 testing only required if they have been called as a close contact by DHHS. (People who are not close contacts but are symptomatic should isolate until they are well and have a negative test result)
COVID deaths & hospitalizations always lag cases. The lag has been demonstrated, is often 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 than a month, and its timing can be predicted accurately (I have done it.) The #casedemic folks are just, well, wrong.
A thread explaining the lag with real-world examples.

Not looking good for you, Cam!

That's pretty much what the Premier reads off every morning.
Congratulations, Catherine!
What about "communicable diseases"?
How do we reconcile the conflicting remdesivir study results for treatment of #COVID19? Here I give it a try. h/t @AaronRichterman @EricMeyerowitz @mikejohansenmd @FranciscoMarty_

Well done, Nick!
A few reasons - modelling less useful when we get to these numbers; models haven't looked at unknown source cases which are the current concern; qualitative assessment now most important.
I use them all! twitter.com/simongerman600…
A special shout-out to our colleagues in occupational medicine, epidemiology, primary care and the army of nurses also contributing. And of course to our public health colleagues for patiently giving us a crash course in government.
Thanks Greg - there are many of us standing shoulder-to-shoulder (metaphorically) with our public health colleagues, all trying our best to get us all through this difficult time.
Happy Birthday, Peter! twitter.com/TheDohertyInst…
I am genuinely mystified as to why anybody thinks heaping abuse on me or anyone else on Twitter would change the way we do our job or our expert view of the science
