40 odd people die every day in WA. Covid may see this increase to 42 at maximum? just by looking at the current case fatality rate for Australia.
There is always going to be a whinge from AMA, as doctors and nurses might not be able to take leave when they want it, or may be forced into overtime in 2022. Sound familiar??
What exactly is happening over east? And don’t tell me case numbers because that’s irrelevant now. The number of ICU patients are actually less now than what they were months ago.
What’s happening over East? Well let’s have a look today. Most elective surgery cancelled in NSW, along with singing dancing. QLD is thinking about delaying return to school dates and asking people to stay inside for the next 6 weeks ( a lock down when your not having a lock down.)
Shops running out of food because there are no staff to deliver it or stock shelves because they are sick or isolating.
It’s all going so well.
