For example, not once in the ABC NSW article you linked to, does the word "ramp" appear...It's also a bid disingenious to try to prove your point about ramping by linking to an article that discusses issues at
Griffth hospital, which serves a catchment of around 35,000 in the local area or
Wee Waa- that doesn't even
have a hospital and instead relies on a GP as does the vast majority of other small, regional areas, and trying to compare them to major metropolitan Perth or other metropolitan hospitals that have a catchment of several hundred thousand to nearing the million mark...
And in other news...We're over the 1,000 mark today, with
1,029 new cases...
