Wise to be thinking now : Calls for Australia to consider the burden of long COVID

Share on Twitter Several health experts are warning the long-term impacts of COVID-19 could further burden the country s health system, and leave many Australians with possibly debilitating side effects.  As parts of the world continue to grapple with outbreaks of the highly contagious Delta variant, harder-hit countries such as the UK and the US are responding to the long-term effects of the virus as more evidence emerges. In February last year, the World Health Organization said that people with mild cases of COVID-19 should usually recover within two weeks.  But a WHO brief published one year later said some ten per cent of people still experience persistent ill health 12 weeks after having their initial infection, in what is being referred to as long COVID or post-COVID conditions. 

Transgender Adolescent Social Transition Not Harmful

Study Finds that Transgender Adolescent or Childhood Social Transition Is Not Harmful; Bullying Present In K-12 Experiences BOSTON A study published in the  Journal of Adolescent Health finds that a social transition during childhood or adolescence is not harmful to transgender or gender diverse youth, but experiences of harassment based on gender identity in K-12 school environments are. The study was authored by researchers at The Fenway Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard Medical School), and the Stanford University School of Medicine and is believed to be the first to examine mental health outcomes in adulthood of transgender people who experienced social transition during childhood or adolescence. It contributes important new knowledge to the growing body of research documenting the harm that transgender and gender diverse people experience when they are exposed to societal stigma and discrimination based on gender identity.
