Told to go to the RCH who duly saved the child but it was close..
If we open up in crazy fashion and get a mass uptake in cases it's going to result in non covid fatalities as the health system will be over whelmed..
I can't think of a better argument for being vaccinated than that little girl and others like her, I suppose some don't care because she's not their own, so she is not their problem!
It's never just been about COVID patients, it always been about what the system can handle in total, relative to the potential exponential growth in COVID cases.
