From September 10, Denmark will remove all domestic restrictions related to Covid-19. In a news release, Danish minister of health Magnus Heunicke said the country’s high vaccination rate means the pandemic is “under control” in Denmark and is no longer a “critical threat to society.”

The move means Danes will no longer need to show a coronavirus certificate to enter restaurants, nightclubs or large events. However, the travel and border restrictions remain in place for now..

Actually, you may notice that instead of spending most of the day here posting rubbish with poorly formatted sentence structure and grammar like you do we're all probably out and about enjoying our Covid free lifestyle.

(The 28 currently active cases are from cargo ships, the 2 recently arrived truck drivers from NSW and, of course, the never ending stream of "returned travellers").

The only ones who are hiding under the beds at the moment are probably a lot of the people of New South Wales while they await the announcement of the daily tragic Covid case numbers caused by the incompetence of Gladys and her puppeteer, Scotty from Marketing.

"Its good to be in WA"

Western Australia will postpone about half of its elective surgeries from Wednesday despite its Covid-free status, amid fresh warnings that the state’s health system would be overwhelmed ­almost immediately in the event of a large-scale outbreak.

Perth public hospitals have been advised that some category 2 and 3 elective surgeries will be ­delayed for a month from Wednesday in an attempt to provide relief in a health system that has come under increased pressure even without any Covid-19 in the community.

The decision comes as WA Premier Mark McGowan faces criticism from doctors for underspending on the state’s health system even as other states have bolstered hospital capacity to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mr McGowan on Sunday defended his hard line on relaxing border restrictions, warning that hospitals would be swamped and people would die if the state opened to the rest of the country too early.

Dr Duncan-Smith said it would not take much for a Covid outbreak to overwhelm the state’s health system, noting that hospital demand had been increasing steadily well before the pandemic.

“This is not all of a sudden a problem. This is something that’s been brewing over the last four years due to chronic underfunding,” he said.

Frank, I'm sure the same hospital/health crisis is affecting everywhere in Australia, not just WA. Look at the unfolding disaster in NSW.

All caused by the same thing, of course. Decades of underfunding and cost cutting by successive State governments of both major parties.

"The chickens are finally coming home to roost" as the popular saying goes.

Not the same at all.

no

totally incorrect.

spending has gone up much faster then the CPI.

it is the overwhelming increase in expectations by an entitled community who expect more and more to be spent (usually to rectify their fat diabetic unhealthy lifestyle choices).

He probably thinks we're in Scotland.

Or maybe New York?

And, with that "awesome" post I do believe you've just handed over one of the many white flags you claim to have collected from members here.

Accepted!

Actually, make that two flags - one for me, one for Greg.
