CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

800 or so Australians have died of COVID in the last 7 weeks.  It's fashionable to pot Dan and all things government ATM, but after having a family member go very close recently thank f### for our public health system is there.  It ain't perfect and it perennially struggles but it does help people.

Problem is the health system is near collapse and even to the point wannabe Nurses are going to be getting a free education and 5k payment as inducements to attract them and stick it out for a couple of years. Dont like or trust Andrews but I'll give him a tick for trying.They will stick the 2 years then leave and thats going to be the problem, GP's are another story and bulk billing was a great idea but its not going to keep GP's in the system or going to remote locations.
The whole system has relied upon good will from Nurses, GP's and Ambos to keep it running but thats worn thin with CoVid and Private Insurance has become a necessity like it is in the USA and maybe we need to look at the tax system being raised in levels like in European countries to provide the necessary funding to prevent us going down that path which only leads to inequality and sub standard care for the poor.
