What started with just four coronavirus cases in Melbourne a few days ago has now more than doubled, as close contacts are tracked down, isolated and tested.While cases are being linked to each other, how they relate back to a hotel quarantine breach in South Australia is still unclear.The other big challenge facing health authorities will be making sure every case is tracked down, but that's a job that gets harder with every new positive case.So on today's Coronacast, what are we hoping for in the

Melbourne's outbreak and the coming winds of winter

2021/05/24

Several cases of community transmission of coronavirus have been detected in Melbourne, as authorities rush to identify exposure sites and close contacts. While we brace for more cases, much is still unknown, such as where the virus came, its genomic information and how many missing links there might be. Victoria's Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton says it's a concern as we head into the winter months, as people are more indoors where we know the virus is far more likely to spread. Also on

As the Indian variant takes over, some good news

2021/05/23

The so-called Indian coronavirus variant B617 is on a mission to take over the world, and it appears that it's slowly achieving that goal. According to recent data from the UK, it's edging out the local version B117 to become the dominant variant. So what does this all mean? Well, it means that it's probably more infectious and that might be what is giving it the edge. But is it more deadly or more resistant to vaccines? That's on today's Coronacast.

Congratulations, you're eligible to get a COVID-19 vaccine! Since you're over 50, that means you're going to be offered AstraZeneca.But as many Australians are asking, why aren't you being given a choice?How worried should you be about these blood clots we keep hearing about? Are you being treated as a second-class citizen?And if there's no COVID-19 in Australia and the borders are still closed indefinitely, what's the rush anyway?Also on today's show:* Could a second dose of Pfizer rather than a

While it's great to see that the number of Australians vaccinated against COVID-19 rises by the day, it's still far from the numbers needed to get it done by the end of the year. So perhaps a national advertising campaign selling the benefits, or maybe pointing out what could happen if we're not vaccinated is needed. Other countries have tried campaigns so far, including Singapore and New Zealand - is it time Australia joined them? So on today's Coronacast, a few ideas on what might work and why

Two doses, two different vaccines: Does it work?

2021/05/17

When you're scheduled in for your COVID vaccine, depending on your age you'll get two doses of either AstraZeneca or Pfizer. But what if you had one brand, and for your secord shot you had the other? Well, researchers have been looking at this for a whole bunch of reasons - a main one being it makes rolling out the vaccines simpler. And on today's Coronacast, early results suggest that mixing brands might also make the vaccines work better too. Also on today's show: * Do blood clots only

Why is there suddenly so much talk about the border...

2021/05/16

The transition from Australia being pretty much free of COVID to reopening the border and allowing it in, is a complicated and fraught issue.The country will eventually have to rejoin the world so people can see family, travel for pleasure or business and go overseas again - but according to experts, there's a list of things that have to happen before then.The most obvious is a very high level of vaccination, so that when coronavirus does arrive again, it won't result in an overburdened hospital

The coronavirus variant sweeping through India appears to be a stronger more contagious version than we've previously seen.While there is still little peer-reviewed scientific information on B.1.617 variants, health authorities are increasingly becoming worried about the threats the strains present.Australia has had two close calls with 617 over the past few weeks: firstly in Sydney then again in Melbourne after it escaped from a South Australian quarantine hotel.So on today's Coronacast, does the

Australia's borders are reopening when??

It seems that every time we talk about the timeframe of Australia's borders reopening to the world, the estimated date slips further into the future.In this week's budget, the government indicated that borders will probably remain shut until 2022 at least. And Qantas has also pushed back its plans to restart international flights by at least two months.So on today's Coronacast, what could be behind the reason for the slippages of border reopenings?Also on today's show:* Will we really need to get a

We've spoken a lot over the last year or so about coronavirus, and for good reason. But there are plenty of other viruses out there that can make us seriously sick or kill us.One is the flu, or influenza, and usually at this time of the year, we'd be seeing a solid rise in the number of reported cases.But not this year. In fact, there's so little flu around that there's actually been more COVID detected than influenza.So on today's Coronacast, what could be going on?Also on today's show:* Is there
