I was in hospital the week before Christmas for low blood pressure. I was tested and it came back negative - however the whole hospital runs on covid safe practices. Had I been positive I would have been treated exactly the same and my hospitalisation would still have been for low blood pressure.

People aren't very bright.
If this were really a dangerous infectious disease we'd not be allowed to wear cloth masks and be disposing of them in biohazard bins, not garbage cans.
Either this virus is being overblown, or our healthcare professionals aren't taking it very seriously.

 Only when all of those ailments become highly infectious! Staff do not normally have to work in full PPE for their entire shift treating such patients. But they do now thanks to the virus! Let me tell you that wearing full PPE for an entire shift makes for agonising work. I've done it myself through outbreaks of influenza and gastroenteritis. I knew exactly what we were in for. I'd already worked past my retirement age and was intending to keep working. But instead decided to retire at the start of the pandemic. Staff are now burnt out. They're resigning in record numbers. Added to those who are already isolating, it puts so much pressure on the staff who do turn up each day. I've been in exactly the same position - I remember a shift when there were only three of us. The RN who came from South Africa and was used to working with really sick people, myself and another staff member. It was the worst horrendous shift we have ever experienced. With 40 inmates, many of whom were very sick. Trying to keep them isolated in their rooms but of course with people with mental health conditions that is almost impossible. And of course you can't bring in other staff because we were in lockdown. Wake up to yourself Matte (and Occam)! |

Mark Latham is the ONLY politician in the NSW Parliament who is being level headed and sensible.

Stella, perhaps the protocols now need to be changed? If omicron is as mild as they say it is, perhaps they should go back to pre-COVID times?

"Mark Latham is the ONLY politician in the NSW Parliament who is being level headed and sensible." Level headed and sensible?  ?? - he has NEVER been level headed or sensible. |

And of course you can't bring in other staff because we were in lockdown. Wake up to yourself Matte (and Occam)! You are being hyperbolic. We spent all of 2020 with no vaccination at all! We were ALL unvaccinated. Remember that? People were still dying, albeit a few. WHO assured us despite this, that Covid for the most part, was survivable. That line of thinking is in contrast to our current mindset. Either they were lying then, or they are lying now! They only pushed the urgency for the vaccination, weaponized social media, and scared the shit out of everyone in 2021. When they could gain financially by it, and politicians could use it to bolster their platform. They espouse 'We are all in this together' while they promote social distancing, tiered segregation and division, in some archaic caste 'passport' system. And they pretend their vaccination is so damned impressive and effective they have to bully/bribe/shame/force you into taking it instead of allowing informed consent based on the vaccine's own merits. (*if any) Tell me I'm wrong. 'Cause that's how I'm seeing it. |

That's a separate argument as far as I'm concerned. |

Don't worry.
In a few short years I am sure we'll be seeing these vaccine mandates through very different eyes.
...Maybe even three. 😉

Dominic Perrottet is such a disappointment. Reintroducing restrictions on people standing to drink, dancing and singing.

Apparently seated people are resistant or immune to Covid while dining. idiots believe the vaccine was going turn their life around and because of that there is plenty of touching and slobbering over each other purposely trying to infect each other.... they couldn't care less about hospital staff when those very people are burned out right now. |
