Just wait until the aged care homes come under attack by angry relatives who have lost loved ones under their care, then you'll see fireworks.Not just that but hospitals.
I worry that the administrative types will buck pass responsibility to the ward staff, There are lots of non-COVID related legal cases that will go forward where the current isolation rules, staff levels, or lack of resources have apparently contributed to a death. Several elderly COVID free people have passed due to pulmonary aspiration events in ICU, it does happen but the numbers are drastically up and it will be assumed by the lawyers that is because they are getting a lower level of attention than they would have normally.
A smart government would be putting some protective laws in place right now to stop the legal bastards profiteering. I've no problem with genuine compensation, but that shouldn't be funding someone's retirement villa in Portsea or Sorrento!
