The Big Freeze winter continues across Australia but SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) is spreading all throughout the western world. On this week's Tim's News Explosion we dig deeper than just the tip of an iceberg lettuce price. The Big Freeze returned to the MCG after 3 years. It's an annual tradition started in 2015 before the Queen's Birthday AFL Match between Melbourne and Collingwood to raise funds to fight Motor neurone disease (MND). There might be a similar fundraiser in the future to fight Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) which is claiming the lives of fit young healthy people. Maybe as there is Red Nose Day for SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) maybe we all wear clown wigs to fight the medical mystery of SADS? Justin Bieber has been forced to cancel tour dates after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome which has paralysed the right side of his face. One of the causes can be a chickenpox infection from childhood. Bieber's collaborator on the song Stay Aussie rapper The Kid LAROI had to cancel several shows due to being struck down with influenza. While announcing the state government would fund a new $750 million Queensland Cancer Centre in Brisbane Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said the state was projecting cancer diagnoses to increase by almost 50 per cent by 2036. The pandemic lockdowns saw thousands of cancer screenings missed. On the Queen's Birthday every year more Order of Australia medals are awarded. Federal Health Department head Brendan Murphy and former Queensland CHO Jennette Young were awarded ACs while NSW CHO Kerry Chant and covid commentator Mary Louise McLaws were awarded AOs. Queensland and NSW could be facing power blackouts tomorrow as the electricity grids are reaching maximum capacity this winter and there is a shortage of gas. Anthony Albanese told Kyle and Jackie O that KFC using cabbage instead of lettuce to cut costs was a 'crisis' that would be on the Cabinet agenda. The cost of iceberg lettuces has been of concern for Federal Labor since Bill Shorten went shopping with a Queanbeyan family in 2016. Dan Andrews' Victorian Agricultural Department has put out a fact sheet to dispel fears that his new Agriculture Amendment Bill could seize lettuces from people's private vegetable patches. But the new legislation could imprison game hunters from sharing meat with people outside of their household in a social setting.

Epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws is a leading scientific and policy voice in the pandemic. We talk about the importance of vaccinating younger Australians who make up such a large portion of the hospitality industry, the community impacts of deciding not to get vaccinated, what rate of vaccination will avoid the need for lockdowns, rapid testing, ventilation and whether it should be a focus, and the burden of compliance on hospitality that may be extended to monitoring vaccination status. It's a privilege to have such an accomplished and respected scientist answer some of the burning pandemic questions in the restaurant world.https://twitter.com/MarylouiseMcla1?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorFollow Dirty Linen on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcastFollow Danihttps://www.instagram.com/danivalentFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/Follow Huck (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/

Epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws examines the federal government's COVID-19 vaccination modelling and targets. She tells us whether the nationally agreed targets of 70% and 80% of the eligible adult population are high enough in order to reduce restrictions and open up safely.

There are now five cases of the highly infectious delta strain of Covid 19 confirmed. One of them is a nurse at Auckland City Hospital, where internal lockdown measures are now under way. The first case detected in Auckland yesterday is a 58 year old Devonport man, who also travelled to the Coromandel. It's still unclear whether the cases are linked to people coming over the border, and genomic sequencing is underway. The entire country is at alert level four. But is this hard, fast lockdown going to be enough to get on top of the virus? Susie speaks with WHO advisor and Professor of Epidemiology at the University of New South Wales, Mary-Louise McLaws.

One of Australia's most respects epidemiologists Mary Louise McLaws joined Jonesy & Amanda to chat about the pandemic and vaccines.

On the podcast is Mary-Louise McLaws. Mary-Louise is a professor of Epidemiology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and an Advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO). Her expertise includes Infection prevention and control, surveillance, hospital infection, outbreaks, and patient safety. Mary-Louise performed the first national prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections. She developed the first standardized surveillance and analysis system for HAI on behalf of the Australian Ministry of Health.On working for WHOYou meet lots of people and appreciate all of the challenges they have around the world. On preparing for AMRI think it is a very salient reminder, but sadly, the world often doesn't take these reminders seriously until we are on the precipice of disaster. 

There are calls for vaccine generosity as New South Wales records two more deaths from the Delta outbreak. Infection control expert Professor Mary-Louise McLaws says that Pfizer doses should go to NSW and Victoria because their outbreaks represent more than half of all Australian cases to date, and says this would also benefit other states and territories.

With infection numbers in Sydney refusing to budge, the head of Australia's top medical body has warned that the NSW capital could be facing an "indefinite" lockdown - with only one clear pathway out.President of the Australian Medical Association (AMA), Omar Khorshid, said the city was looking at living with restrictions for the "foreseeable future until everyone is vaccinated", urging Sydneysiders to obey health orders."Of course, we don't have enough vaccines to vaccinate the whole of Sydney communities so the only option is to get on top of this virus right now," Dr Khorshid said. Australian PM Scott Morrison with Dr Omar Khorshid. Photo / Getty Images"Vaccines are doing their job, we know they are doing their job and we are seeing a number of young people in hospital in ICU, rather than the huge numbers of older people we saw in Victoria."That is a sign that the vaccines are working. Vaccines are our way out of this in the longer term but for right now, for today in Sydney, the only way to stop this virus spreading is to stop people talking to each other, people coming close to each other, people breathing on each other, coughing on each other."We know this from the lessons we have learned throughout the lockdown, throughout the pandemic and our only option is to do what needs to be done right now here in Sydney."Adviser to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) Covid-19 response and UNSW epidemiologist, Mary-Louise McLaws, had a similarly grim warning about the length of Sydney's lockdown - currently pegged to end next Friday, July 30."We still need another three to four weeks because we need to get that proportion [of cases in people who haven't been in full lockdown] to zero," Professor McLaws told The Project last night."Once we've got that zero, then we need that to continue for 14 days to ensure we've mitigated everything."Now, you could lift some small restrictions off, but you wouldn't be able to lift all of them off until 28 days after that first zero of anybody out in the community that hadn't been in full lockdown."It's a long duration: "Expect another two months before we've absolutely eradicated it … but we don't have to stay in lockdown for that long."As NSW reported another 98 cases this morning, chief health officer Kerry Chant once again revealed exactly why every Australian should be desperate to get a Covid-19 vaccination.Of the 82 Sydneysiders – across a range of ages – currently in hospital with the virus, 24 are in intensive care — and of those, only one has had a single dose of the AstraZeneca jab."Vaccination is critical," Dr Chant told reporters."Can I just urge everyone in the community who is eligible for the vaccine to go forth and make an appointment. Go on to the eligibility checker and access the vaccine. I would urge anyone, particularly over 60, to go and get an AstraZeneca vaccine from their general practice and remember I have also said that GPs are working very hard and they will prioritise older individuals over younger in terms of bookings, because of the need to protect our elderly."Even one dose of AstraZeneca can have some effect, as well as one dose of the Pfizer, but two doses gives the optimal protection. And having two doses of the vaccine can really reduce your risk of hospitalisation and death associated with Covid."In a similar message to her state on Friday, the CHO said "it is essential for us to live somewhat normally with this Delta virus and any other variant we might get thrown out that we are going to have to be highly vaccinated as a population and also we are going to have to live with booster shots".While Dr Chant said she'd like for 80 per cent of the adult population in NSW to ultimately be vaccinated, former deputy chief medical officer Nick Coatsworth said lockdowns nationwide could no longer be needed in about four months — once 50 per cent of Australians are vaccinated.Speaking to The Australian Financial Review, Dr Coatsworth said "...

Epidemiologist Professor Mary-Louise McLaws explains how Australia can reach herd immunity against COVID-19 and when children should be vaccinated against the virus in Australia. She also discusses the Delta variant outbreak in NSW, the reality of Long COVID, and whether we will ever be able to treat this virus “like the flu,” as the Prime Minister suggests. Mary-Louise is a member of the WHO's Advisory Panel for Infection, Prevention and Control Preparedness and Response to COVID-19. Broadcast on 6 July 2021.

Australia's four phase pathway to transition from suppressing Covid 19 to living with it - once enough of the population is vaccinated.Prime Minister Scott Morrison outlined the general plan earlier this week, capping incoming passenger numbers in the short term, to relieve pressure on hotel quarantine, and announcing a trial of home quarantine for vaccinated travellers. Ultimately he says once vaccination rates reach the optimum threshold , Australia will open its doors and live with the virus and reduce serious illness. Meanwhile New South Wales has recorded its highest number of infections in more than a year - and health authorities are looking at recasting the definition of family to prevent the outbreak from exploding.

On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Mark Kenny is joined by epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws and head of ANU Australian Studies Institute Paul Pickering to discuss the pace of Australia’s vaccine rollout and how it can be improved.An international leader in infection control during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, Australia now seems to be falling behind other nations in its vaccine rollout. Why isn’t Australia hitting its vaccination targets? Is a return to politics-as-usual holding the country back? And given their high number of social contacts and thus greater risk of contracting the virus, should 20 to 39-year-olds be further up the list to receive the vaccine? On this episode of Democracy Sausage, Professor Mary-Louise McLaws from the University of New South Wales and Professor Paul Pickering from The Australian National University join Professor Mark Kenny to examine the rollout why it’s not going as smoothly as many had hoped.

In this final and tenth episode, we'll tackle some of the last lingering questions that we all have around the vaccines and how the future might look as we navigate these uncharted pandemic waters. Experts first discuss new interim datasets from Johnson and Johnson and Novavax, notably their results on preventing severe disease, hospitalizations and deaths, and how they might fit into the vaccine paradigm. We'll break down why some EU countries have made the surprise recent decision not to administer AstraZeneca's vaccine to people over 65. Meanwhile, Russia's Sputnik-V now has a lot more data and we'll see how this vaccine measures up on the global scale of vaccines. Experts discuss vaccine utility in the real world and the debate around infection and transmission, delaying the second dose to get first doses out quicker and mixing different vaccine brands under extenuating circumstances. Safety remains a big question as the media and social media continue to flag individual cases of severe side-effects and deaths, but we'll look at the data and statistics and how to critically think about the overall safety profile of the vaccine (and when not to panic). Finally, this episode will tackle important future questions such as the need to vaccinate children and how things might look as we attempt to get back to being a global community with travel.
