Covid19 continues to rule all our lives for the foreseeable future unfortunately, though we in Queensland have been less restricted than our southern neighbors. We really feel for those on the border who have far more complications to deal with. The unpalatable truth is that we are not like;y to defeat this virus for some time, even IF a vaccine is developed capable of giving long-term immunity. Meantime our economy has suffered a terrible blow which will take many years to recover from.
Interesting that vitamin D3 may offer some lessening of the severity of Covid19 infection which is slowly gaining a degree of validity with more and more conservative physicians as the limited trial data is presented.
Also some better outcomes for those who receive high flow oxygen via nasal prongs rather than positive pressure ventilation (less trauma to lungs). Similar result to that previously noted with ARDS patients.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) meanwhile is taking full advantage of the Covid19 distraction to further their agenda, which doesn't fare well for Australia (or any other country for that matter). Please be kind and considerate towards our Chinese Australian citizens and visitors; they are not the CCP, and are not deserving of any blame for the actions of that dictatorship. Our economic recovery will be damaged no doubt due to the deteriorating situation, but may be aided in the long run by the reduction in international trade with China if our manufacturing industry can be resurrected. It will mean higher prices so we may have to forego non-essential commodities, but I'm sure we will survive.
Our video productions have had some success, and we have resumed some events with reduced numbers which has worked OK.
Our plans for New Zealand work late 2020 are going to need a big change due to the restrictions on travel between Australia and New Zealand. It is not going to be feasible to undertake any work across the Tasman until well into 2021, so we may be able to do a few more events at home.
Keep well everyone until we meet again.
