Just when you think the Covid insanity cannot get any worse.
And especially when the next 'wave' has just started.
WA hospitals dump mask requirement, but not all medicos are smiling Quote:Mask wearing in clinical areas of WA hospitals has been dropped as a requirement, prompting an angry response from some WA doctors and nurses, who claim COVID-19 remains a lethal threat to patients and others.
Despite recorded infections increasing in WA for the past month, the authorities are continuing to relax protective measures.
There were 3168 recorded new cases in the week up to Thursday, a 20 per cent increase of the previous week and 39 per cent up on one month ago. There were 64 people in hospitals with COVID, just five more than last week.
In the past month, 50 deaths have been recorded, though not all occurred in that period.
Someone please tell me this isn't a deliberate attempt at infecting everyone (repeatedly) in pursuit of that mythical herd/hybrid immunity as well as a continuing deliberate culling of the elderly and vulnerable to save money on pensions and healthcare costs. Not just here in WA but Australia wide.
i dont think its a deliberate culling but we have to face facts.
you could spend the entire federal busget on looking after the health needs of the diseased and the frail.
and you still wouldnt make much of a dent in it.
hospitals were designed for people with appendicitis, with broken bones from football, with a car accident or a heart attack or a new cancer.
they were never designed for the prolonging of life by extraordinary means of the very old and frail.
if every old frail person demanded their right to gold medal standard health care , to a spot in ICU, to drips full of exorbitantly expensive drugs then the system falls apart.
governments answer to unsustainable health costs is to limit the availability to beds.
hospital beds will become like social housing.
more and more demand and less and less supply.
are governments going to tell you this?
no.
but as ambulances get ramped more and more and there simply are no beds, you just miss out on treatment
england is experiencing this as we speak
Patients face SIX-MONTH waits for rescheduled appointments due to three-day junior doctors' strike that's crippling NHS hospitals
Half a million appointments are expected to be cancelled this week due to the walkouts, coordinated by the British Medical Association (BMA),
ive already told you carl that my wifes hospital in a burgeoning outer urban town is running at 60 % capacity.
heres how sneaky governments are.
they told her hospital they need to make 8 of the 36 beds available for children to be admitted,
but they have no paediatrician or even a visiting peadiatrician
so any kids that come into cas get bundled into an ambulance and sent to the closest big hospital because the cas doctors wont admit them .
so with 8 beds empty, the government can cut nursing staff, cleaners, bed expenses and try and get back into budget.
a budget that was blown due to covid over expenditure,.
now the nursing home patients are NOT admitted.
period
everythign affects everything else,.
you want hospitals to pay 3000 dollars for acourse of paxlovid for covid, they will close beds
you cant get blood out of a stone
