Cancer in Wimmera: A discussion with Peter Mac’s Dr David Speakman
Horsham Rural City Council will host a Cancer and the Wimmera online Q & A Session with Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre’s Chief Medical Officer Dr David Speakman on Wednesday night.
Some 139 people are diagnosed with cancer in Horsham Rural City and 53 locals lose their lives to the disease, each year.
During the height of the pandemic last year, patient referrals to Peter Mac dropped by as much as 40 per cent for some cancers, as people statewide delayed seeing their GP or getting tested.
Dr Speakman is a leading clinician working in the breast and melanoma and skin units at Peter Mac.
As boil water mandates continue across Texas as a result of the winter storm, a Baylor College of Medicine infectious diseases expert discusses why it's.

Earlier studies have demonstrated that the virus lingers on aerosols and surfaces for between several hours and several days, depending on the nature of the surface and environmental conditions
Researchers at Tel Aviv University carried out a study to show that ozone, which is widely known for its antibacterial and antiviral properties in water treatment, effectively sanitizes surfaces infected with the coronavirus. The coronavirus can be destroyed after short exposure to low concentrations of ozone.
Earlier studies have demonstrated that the virus lingers on aerosols and surfaces for between several hours and several days, depending on the nature of the surface and environmental conditions.
