CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

All the numbers about who is hospitalised and the death rates always ignore this fact - the hospitals themselves say they are stretch to capacity at the rate they’re getting now - we are seeing the Royal Melb have a case that infected a health care worker and now X amount of hospital staff have to quarantine for two weeks so now your workforce is down X amounts - health care professionals aren’t an infinite resource.  In fact I have read somewhere along the way that nurses are quitting in droves, sick and tired of watching people actively work against their own best interests and these poor workers then having to pay the price.

So we open up and let it rip - are you happy to gasp for oxygen at home or watch your loved one go through the same, because there’ll be no room for them? Add in if you’ve unfortunately got a medical condition that requires you to have Drs and nurses look after or your loved ones does, are you happy for them to have to make do at home with what you have on hand because there is no room/drs/nurses to help you?

Until we’re all vaccinated and they find a better way that this horrid thing can be treated from
Home, we can’t just let it rip.

Honestly - let’s listen to the medical people - I don’t see what they have to Gain - most are exhausted and just trying to do their job!

Re: the latter, shortage in ICU/ER nurses, they are leaving the job and the system is stretched..
