It should'nt come as any surprise it was an epic fail given it was left to pollies and department heads to manage it. I remember when scomo announced we are prepared. The girls retorted straight away "no we're not, we haven't even started to prepare". Since then largely as an unaffected state much prep has been made, there are still some weaknesses around PPE, decontamination and disposal procedure, which obviously Vic hasn't got right yet either. Changes are being made almost on a daily basis as we learn from VIC
There's not too many (medical staff) putting their hands up to go help VIC for fear of infection. For you turnleft, dying is well down their concern list..
