CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

A kid at the kinder our daughter goes to tested positive two weeks ago (28/7).  We just got our text from DHHS saying we need to isolate until 12/7 (yes - before the test - we are assuming they mean 12/8) and have a test on or after 8/7 (we are assuming they mean 7 August).

Good thing we were proactive and told families that were going that they should get tested.  As for what to do about a deep clean - that's a debacle - Call DHHS - no call DET - no Call DHHS...

(Kid is fine, all that have been tested that I know of are negative)

Becoming more and more apparent the monumental c0ckup by someone or a group within the state's health dept.

The upside is that this situation will demand and cause all state health departments to be far better prepared for the next pandemic. And FFS states, get the military involved from the get-go, they have folks trained in managing this stuff PROPERLY and any pr1cks who want to be smart@rses might just wear some no nonsense treatment.

If you think thats bad, I know of an Ambulance Patient Transfer driver who tested positive, and never got a call re contact tracing.

After 7 days he proactively called them, and thats when his contact tracing commenced.

meanwhile, anyone he had been in contact with whom he hadnt contacted himself was walking around happy as larry.

Extrapolate that out to potential other passengers he had in his truck between getting Covid, and then feeling symptoms, and testing positive.

lucky he did the right thing the second he started feeling unwell.  His co driver took a few days to show symptoms, and tested negative on the first go, then tested positive only after symptomatic too.

I get the idea they really are working through it as they go.

Oh, and the ADF have been doing the contact tracing for anyone who is interested in slinging mud.

Oh dear. The more we learn about the 2nd wave in Melbourne the uglier it gets. Was/is there anyone involved in this who actually knows what they're doing!!

If you watch that video I posted, those imbeciles were saying how much experience they had.

Doesn't matter what political party we support, the situation in Victoria was entirely preventable.

I should mention that I have a dog in this fight. My father is in a retirement home and although he was and is a pr1ck, he's my dad and I care for him. He has bad emphysema but is otherwise healthy with a good few years in front of him... I've been informed by BaptCare that if he gets C-19 he's had it.

How many fathers/mothers/grandfathers/uncles/aunts/nonnas/nanas etc., have and/or will cark it due to embarrassing poor management?

Andrews' claim that he did not know of the ADF support call (the offer was made by the feds in April, May and June) was an utter lie.  That is not politics.  It's a 'effin disgrace.  >

Yes, I lost a bit more respect for him there. No bloody need to out and out lie at this point in time.

There's a  little bit of 'not so subtle' politicking going on.
I think some of them realise there will be a reckoning once this is done and dusted.

Scomo and Andrews are almost at pains to assert how closely co-operative they are but....

Andrews (who I credit for fronting up each day) will constantly make the point that Aged Care is a Commonwealth responsibility.
That may be the case, but he frames it like the state is actually coming to the 'rescue' of the Commonwealth in coping with the issues in this sector.

For the conservatives.... Morrison is staying above it while letting his attack dogs like Hunt and Frydenberg loose to make the attacks.

The right wing commentators are also laying the boot in.

The last thing we need at the moment is political point scoring...even subtle stuff.
Folks will eventually be held accountable, but now is not the time for political games.

Have you seen how flaky some of the bureaucrats are that have been involved in this just to get their hands onto the gravy train?

I suspect one or two politicians might well fall on their sword at the end of this, it probably won;t take much encouragement at all, but that is a long long way from done yet. If they walked away mid-fight they'd be scum for all eternity.

However, I suspect those OH&S type stair climbing megalomaniac bureaucrats are in for a hell of a shock when the audits are done, a bunch of them are going to the wall, that seems to be already in motion!
