Do you think you'll survive?

OK - isn't this the 2nd time you've had Covid?

NSW has 2.9 million hospital admissions each year along with 3 million Emergency Department presentations.
Yet according to the Media Scare Machine 1200 Covid hospitalisations are breaking the system.
When will this BS end?

Plus NSW Health now reporting that in some hospitals half of the so-called ‘Covid hospitalisations’ are people in there for other ailments who have also tested positive for Covid.
Plus overall hospitalisation rates in NSW are lower “likely associated with the Covid-19 pandemic”.

Compare the 1200 ‘Covid hospitalisations’ in NSW with annual admissions for other reasons:

44,000 alcohol-attributed
67,000 obesity-related
60,000 smoking
158,000 heart disease

Well - you'll have to stay locked up for 14 days.

Looks like you'll spend a lot of time on Ozpol.

The current hospitalizaton rate is about 2 weeks lagging behind the case numbers.   The number of COVID admissions had doubled over the past week. 

And Mark Latham is a politician with an uterior motive, he has lack of knowledge of Australian Health Care system, and medicine as whole.

How do you know even if the COVID infection is picked up on admission, its not related.  For example, an elderly lady can have a heart attack, but the reason for the heart attack is because she is sick with COVID.   Or perhaps another woman return to the hospital with fever, the staff thought it was post surgical wound infection, however, she has COVID as well.   Remember your usual fit young man with a broken finger usually do not get admitted to hospital. 

Hospital is where all the sick and frail people goes.  This is a fact.   If suddenly, you have suffered a major heart attack or stroke, do you really want to be treated in a hospital ward full of COVID?  What will be your chance of survival if you get covid AND the original conditon that landed you in Hospital?   So, there had to be two areas being fenced off from each other: COVID and non COVID, this means double the amount of staff required.   Which then creates a nightmare at triage. 

Even in normal circumstances, sometimes, an elective surgery do not happen because an ICU bed had to be taken up by someone just got injured from a car accident.  This is the state of our health care system right now.  So lets be realistic.   1000 hospital admission, at a ratio of 5 to 1 (should be 4 to 1), means you need 200 nurses x3 shift = 600 extra nurses PER DAY.   Now, where do these nurses come from?  They just dont conjure  out of thin air. 

Be real, and stop listening to ONE nation.  They have no idea.  The nation will be doomed if any of those lousy lot get to manage the country.

put all the covid patients in one room and get a nurse who has already had it (which will soon be every health worker) to look after them. problem solved

and lets not forget how fortunate we are .

maybe we can get some perspective
Today, victoria had 8,000 cases  and only 3 deaths. in 2020  700 people caught the virus and that same day, 25 died.

omnicron is our best friend
