While
someone is still being "invigorated" by "personal responsibility" (careful, don't make a mess of your phone screen)
, the disgrace that is Covid deaths in Australian Aged Care continues.
Only 11 days into the New Year and already
40
deaths reported (13 more last week).

When I last encouraged her to get vaccinated (mid-year) she told me: “I’ve had it before, so I’ve got good immunity - even the Government says we all do now!” 🤦♂️
This is Public Health failure…
UNNECESSARY DEATH 😔
Yes, it is. All as a result of deliberate public health messaging failure by our governments.
Truly disgraceful stuff.

Cases are up again (for the States and Territory that are reporting but cases would be up
