We have a #diphtheria outbreak in Australia.

According to the Australian Centre for Disease Control (AuCDC - yes, we have one of those now):

Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection. It most often spreads through respiratory droplets, or direct contact with the wound.

If only there were some way of stopping spread through respiratory droplets.

If only.

Note that the outbreak is in Indigenous communities, and authorities are rushing to get vaccines into place.
