CV and mad panic behaviour

[Thryleon]

Do I get to select the 820 ? ?

Sadly they are departed and we can’t help them.

Again I ask you insurance… how much are you prepared to pay in premiums ?
More than you earn in income ? Half ? 5% ?

I understand what you’re saying and don’t disagree, I’m just pointing out that if these centers are to be properly built and fit for purpose AND ready to go then the bastards (politicians) won’t be trimming their salaries to make the budget work.

I think if we want a pandemic facility the NT one has provided the blueprint, but I’m not sure that one (or more) in each state is financially workable. Maybe one other, both federally funded and everyone (foreign arrivals at least) funnels through them probably doesn’t work for local cases though.

Then you also have to consider how well equipped are our health services to deal with a pandemic if it hit in earnest and inundated them.

A lot of the older hospitals around are extremely under equipped and service a large catchment.

Prevention is better than cure I agree, but this is to a degree a zero sum game.  The money used in quarantine could go a long way to service the community in a variety of ways and the shortfalls are enormous.

I understand what you're saying.  A quarantine facility purpose built is a luxury.  Thing is people need to understand that the risks of escape done dissappear because there is a facility.  They just decrease.

The few leaks we hear about are very incidental and coincidental.
