The quality of journalism seems to be at an all-time low right now.

Headline: "Chief Medical Officer says no 'sufficient public health rationale' for COVID testing of Chinese travellers"

Me: That's an interesting take, let me read the article to find out why he thinks that.

The article: Professor Paul Kelly said any additional measures on Chinese travellers would be "inconsistent with the current national approach to the management of COVID-19 and disproportionate to the risk".

Me: That explains nothing, unless he's admitting that the "current national approach to the management of COVID-19" is to do absolutely nothing whatsoever, in which case, yeah, I guess that makes sense.

To be sure, Kelly's beeen a strong backer of inaction on #Covid in Australia. He's the worst CMO since Brendan Murphy, who wasn't even an epidemiologist and, yes, was worse.

State public health officers have been better, but are now effectively muzzled. #auspol
