ALT A red graphic. Text: Chief Health Officer Alert. Measles case from local transmission. A new locally-acquired measles case has been identified in Victoria. 4 April.
I missed the news that Dr Clare Looker has stepped down as @VictorianCHO.
As well as Prof Ben Cowie. Both have been excellent public health advocates 🙏
👏I welcome the wonderful @tarunw filling in as CHO while recruitment for the new CHO is underway.

Dear @vicemergency Twitter team,
Please make & post your very important messages to a @bluesky account.
Many feel just as I do that using this platform has become unconscionable, and have moved to BlueSky.
Please ensure the thousands there also get your vital messaging 🙏

Dear twitter followers, I have found another home at bluesky. I can’t stay much longer feeding the Musk/Trump/Billionare Bro machine. I despise them & all they are doing. If that’s you too you can join me there @janecaro.bsky.social. It’s like the old twitter used to be.
#LuvYaGuts @sammyjcomedian

I’m very sad to report that @gemcarey has died.
The family has asked me to release this statement.
“Gemma passed away on 17th November 2024 after a long battle with illness. Her family ask for privacy during this difficult time.”
“The majority has spoken, and researchers are moving en masse to Bluesky”
