Some countries have started administering third doses of COVID vaccines, or booster shots. But we’re still learning about how long immunity lasts from the first two shots.
Revenue fell by more than $2 billion in 2020 – less than feared – but universities are increasingly vulnerable to worsening conditions, with losses of international students accelerating.
While there are plausible explanations for why this occurs, we can’t be certain of the effect of temperature on SARS-CoV-2. Being indoors in poorly ventilated spaces plays a big role.
The government is paying childcare services in hot-spots 25% of pre-pandemic revenue. But without parents’ fees, the sector is still in a tough position.
In the aftermath of the Tokyo Olympics it’s worth reflecting on just what kind of meaning the games still generate.
COVID-19 has impacted an important moment in many people’s lives: grieving the loss of a loved one. Here are some things that can help if you’re far away.
We should move rapidly to reduce fear, improve vaccination rates, improve treatments and reduce complications as we do with other diseases we can’t eliminate or fully protect against.

No sightseeing, cheering, singing or (at least officially) sex. This is what an Olympic Games during a pandemic could look like.
Only about 1% of the population was vaccinated against COVID when this outbreak started.
Our analysis suggests the Morrison government’s child-care subsidy changes won’t do much to improve the affordability of child care for many families on low to middle incomes.
First the fires, then the pandemic. It’s not just the damage to infrastructure, houses, environment and farmland that makes recovery difficult; the emotional and physical toll is often gruelling too.
Our current quarantine capacity would take six months to handle the return of 150,000 existing students, but 70,000 new students every six months would also be needed to halt the fall in enrolments.
