In the intervening years, climate change has raised the average temperature 3.24 degrees Fahrenheit. So the flowers have been blooming progressively earlier each year, which has necessitated moving the festival back. The last pre-Covid show in 2019 was on March 23-24, a month earlier than the original. Let s use this as a metaphor for shifting conditions in your world. I invite you to take an inventory of how your environment has been changing, and what you could do to ensure you re adapting to new conditions.
Share on Twitter The Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Sector (ACCHOS) has been widely lauded for its success with managing the spread of COVID-19 in Indigenous communities - its approach has even been said to be ‘leading the way’ in how to deal with the virus. Out of 28,000 COVID cases recorded in Australia, as of September only 145 of those were Indigenous Australians - or 0.005%. Multiple leaders in the sector have cited autonomy and the connection its services have with their local communities as one of the key reasons for its success. But they also acted fast - in many cases, ahead of the federal government, and used common-sense and effective approaches involving face-to-face contact and bringing rapid testing into remote areas to prevent, rather than patch pandemic issues.
