I hope for everyone's sake they don't hit the tipping point, because that will trigger the Federal Health system equivalent of an SOS!
The side effects of the vaccine grow linearly not exponentially, our hospitals can far more easily deal with the side-effects of the vaccine, provided they aren't overrun with COVID-19 patients. You don't have to isolate people with vaccine side-effects, they won't infect the staff, you don't have to put anywhere near as many of them into an ICU and in most cases they'll recover with no long term side-effects! Further as each week passes, the health authorities are getting better at detecting and treating the vaccine side effects, so we see the serious case number dropping.
I feel for friends and associates in the State and Federal Authorities, some of them are currently policing borders, it's not something they want to do and not something they signed up for, but they are forced into the chaos unleashed on Australia by the inaction of the NSW State Government. I've heard the armed forces have war gamed the setup and placement of field hospitals, they are seriously considering getting COVID-19 patients out of the public system so they keep the public system as sterile as possible, the armed forces have the kit, it's basically the same kit they use for chemical or biological warfare defence.
