Overview:
• An online survey launched by Federal Health Minister Susan Ley coincides with figures that show 500,000 Australians who prepaid their health insurance premiums for two years to avoid Labor’s means test were now downgrading their cover with many buying “junk” policies of little benefit.
• The New England Journal of Medicine published a case study about a HIV-positive Colombian man who had tumours, the cells were definitely cancer-like, but were not human. The man’s weakened immune system made him particularly susceptible to the tapeworm’s cancer cells, according to scientists and the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which helped diagnose the man.
• The fifth annual National Stress and Wellbeing in Australia Survey has found Australians are faring worse than they were when the survey began, with higher levels of stress, depression and anxiety being reported. Flinders University senior social work lecturer Dr Mubarak Rahamathulla said FOMO was opening the door to more concerning feelings, like anxiety and depression.
