😷 Modelling data suggests consistent mask use over a 12 month period is more effective at reducing COVID-19 infection, than waiting for a spike in cases. The findings highlight how the practice can significantly curb the spread of infectious diseases.

New studies suggest faces are considered more attractive when wearing protective masks - especially the blue, surgical kind.😷 "...the ways that we demonstrate that we're attractive have adapted to the current context,"- Dr @KhandisBlake @Psychunimelb .

Face masks can make you more attractive — especially the surgical variety, study finds

Researchers suggest that the pandemic may be changing our perception of mask-wearers, after finding women perceived men wearing surgical masks to be the most attractive.

General Practice is the foundation of our world-class primary healthcare system & right now it's in crisis. Workforce shortages, an ageing population, increased chronic disease, & the limitations of current Medicare settings all have flow-on effects to the rest of the system🏥
