CDC gave epidemiologists globally training, enabled the world to emulate the best of pub health/health service programs & guidelines. Now without CDC providing USA publicly available trustworthy data fighting this disease is impossible. abc.net.au/news/2020-07-18/u…

With the world in desperate need of authoritative information, one of the foremost agencies for fighting infectious disease has gone conspicuously silent, writes Erin Smith.

"Wearing face masks is something that should become a part of people's everyday lives." As #COVID19 cases in Melbourne continue to rise, @UNSWMedicine Prof @MarylouiseMcla1 says masks are with us for the foreseeable. 😷theage.com.au/national/masks…

Masks part of the Melbourne look for a long time to come

With elimination of coronavirus in the community unlikely for some time, Melburnians may have to keep their masks handy for years.

You don’t need super powers to be a #superspreader of COVID-19 as my latest ABC article with @ZtheTrain discusses #COVID19au @MarylouiseMcla1 mobile.abc.net.au/news/healt…

'Superspreaders' are real and we've had several in Australia. Here's what the experts say

What is a superspreader? Why are they important? And are we seeing many superspreader events in Australia?

Victoria's CHO can't rule out moving to stage 4 restrictions. Here's what that could look like

Face masks would be mandatory, more businesses would need to close and Melbourne could be split into self-contained zones — these are some of the ideas experts say could work if Victoria imposed...
