Today one of our Physicians tested positive for #COVID.

We are now in OUTBREAK STATUS.

@Scienceisnotopinions
How many ppl know that you have to wait 6 weeks post covid b4 having general anaesthetic, to allow your lungs to recover.
It's a bit of an issue for anyone needing a procedure under general anaesthetic to see if they have cancer, or not, and remove it.
Time can make a difference.

I am very happy to share this article with you today. I was interviewed by the Brimbank & North West Star Weekly about the lack of disability inclusion provided by Brimbank City Council.

Today marks the beginning of #disabilitypridemonth.

I therefore thought today was a good day, to launch my new advocacy group for Brimbank residents who are disabled, neurodivergent or still coviding (and their allies).

It is a brand new group, so don't worry that there are no members yet (I literally just launched it)! It won't take long for our community to start rallying together for what we need.

The group is aptly called The 'Brimbank Disability & Neurodiversity Advocacy Group'. It is a private group and a safe space. You can join the group here 👇

#TopicTuesday Long Read: Disability Inclusion within Brimbank.
My first question raided at this months council meeting was as follows:
“Brimbank's 2022-2026 Disability Action Plan was released around 4 months ago, yet there is no reference to Neurodivergent people (other than reference to a symbol identifier), let alone any planning to ensure their inclusion in our community. Neurodivergent people should not need to wait until 2026 before their barriers to inclusion in Brimbank events will be considered, so what action is Brimbank City Council taking, to ensure their inclusion is possible at council run events?”

(continued in replies.)

Today I received a call advising that I was not successful in my application for the Brimbank Disability Advisory Committee. Although this is not the outcome I hoped to achieve, the very lovely Lisa Frost at Brimbank City Council has agreed to keep me connected to Disability Network Groups and other key stakeholders in Brimbank, to ensure inclusion of all people with a disability within community programming and events.
I very much look forward to being a voice for those with physical disabilities, inviable disabilities and neurodivergent communities within Brimbank.
One of the first things I am advocating for (and have been for about 6 months) is more outdoor and online events for those who are immune-compromised, COVID cautious and neurodivergent. I will continue to push for greater inclusion of disabled and at risk people in all areas or our community; whether that be in the arts, sport, cultural activities and events or mental health initiatives.

Time for a fresh #introduction!

My name is Sean and I live on unceded territory of the #Wolastoqiyik, #Mikmaq and #Peskotomuhkati peoples. I detest colonialism and strongly support #landback.

I run the sound department at #nonprofit #imperialTheatre, an 850 soft-seater built in 1913. I'm in #union #iatse local 680 Ia

I do lots of projects from programming and studio recording to carpentry a week long solo hikes.

I have #longcovid #mecfs and a host of other fun. #wearAMask #covidIsStillHere

Still tired and feeling like I've smoked a few packs of cigarettes. My fever came back and went away again last night. Hoping it stays away now. But on the plus side I'm the only one in the house who is sick so small blessings and all that. #mastodaoine #covid #CovidIsStillHere

Word from Health Dept - no more masks at work - medical facility. Except for unvaccinated staff.......

People now wearing masks here - THE VACCINATED!!!!

We aren't COVID free because we do what everyone else is doing!!!

@corrosivedream so true that #CovidIsStillHere my bestie caught it for the first time a few weeks ago, while she's over the worst the fatigue is awful. Though I did nearly cry when she said how awful it'd be if she was like this forever, because I've had #ChronicFatigue for the last 7yrs and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

China faces a new #Covid wave that could peak at 65 million cases a week #CovidIsStillHere

@ottsatwork Only a political cost. #COVID #COVIDIsStillHere

Wow. Just did my first "diy" qualitative fit test for my high filtration masks, really interesting results for my face and head.

The 3M v-flex 9105 (super easy to breathe) N95 only leaked a little under my chin when talking. The 3M "Aura" 9205+ N95 (trifold like kf94) actually had a small continuous leak on the sides of my face. (I felt like the straps aren't quite tight enough on that model.) The traditional cup style 3M 8100 N95 I could not make leak at all on my face.
