COVID-19 update 2 June 2023

WA Health is reporting a total of 3,767 new cases in the past week to 4pm yesterday (1 June 2023). As of 4pm yesterday, there were 2,101 active cases in Western Australia.

As at 4pm yesterday, there were a total of 231 people with COVID-19 in hospital, with three in ICU.

Sadly, this week’s report to 4pm yesterday includes 15 deaths, dating back to 17 February 2022, which were reported to WA Health in the past week, aged from 72 to 95 years.

This increase in reported deaths is the result of a number of coronial investigations that have been finalised in the past week.

Maybe we do not see the Wuhan Flu as much more than a mild inconvenience. One-third of Qlders have had covid since the year 2020. My entire family, including my nieces and nephew, have had the virus. They were all over it inside a week.

Dr John Gerrard, Chief Health Officer
BSc (Med) MB BS (Syd) MSc (Microbiology) DLSHTM DTM&H (Lon) FRACP

Dr John Gerrard will officially commence as Queensland’s Chief Health Officer in mid-December 2021.

Dr Gerrard completed his medical and specialist training in Sydney and London between 1980 and 1993 quickly becoming one of Australia’s leading infectious disease specialists. As a young doctor in 1993, Dr Gerrard rewrote Australia’s medical history by identifying the country’s earliest known case of AIDS.

Dr Gerrard moved to the Gold Coast in 1994 to take up the post of Director of Infectious Diseases at the Gold Coast Hospital. Like many other Australians, he first visited Queensland for Expo 88 and immediately fell in love with it.

The international threat of SARS in 2003 highlighted to Dr Gerrard the deficiencies in existing hospitals when it came to the risk of airborne infectious diseases. This led Dr Gerrard to help design the new Gold Coast University Hospital with the capacity to safely manage a pandemic such as COVID-19.

Throughout his time on the Gold Coast, he developed an international reputation for research in emerging infectious diseases and an organism called “Heterorhabditis gerrardi”, that glows in the dark, was named in his honour by American researchers in 2009. He is the only living Australian with a human pathogen named after him.

Since 2011 Dr Gerrard has been the principal investigator on a series of malaria vaccine trials in collaboration with Professor Michael Good from the Institute for Glycomics.

In 2014, he travelled to Sierra Leone during the West African Ebola epidemic. There, he formed part of a team that established Australia’s first Ebola Treatment Centre outside Freetown. Subsequently, he was awarded the Australian Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal.

More recently, Dr Gerrard managed Queensland’s first cases of COVID-19 when three families travelled from Wuhan, China in January 2020. Shortly after, he travelled to Tokyo as part of a mission to assist Japanese authorities in containing the outbreak of COVID-19 aboard the Diamond Princess.

These experiences led him to establish the GCUH as a COVID-designated hospital in 2020 in preparation for the arrival of the pandemic.

In April 2021, Dr Gerrard travelled to the Dutch Antilles as part of a Dutch-sponsored mission where he first experienced the full impact of COVID-19.

Dr Gerrard enjoys cycling and building and flying model aircraft. He is fluent in French. He and his wife, Anthea, have two adult daughters.

By the way - it's Belmont Forum, not Belmont Plaza.

Australian Covid deaths this week.

Tasmania still to report and another 20 -30 deaths would probably need to be added for Queensland this week.

If/when Dr. Gerrard finds his calculator.

183

deaths reported this week.

https://covidlive.com.au/

The 14 deaths for Queensland are calculated from the "7 day rolling average" - 2 deaths per day this week apparently.

Hospitalisations are way up (+216) from last week.

Oh, by the way... I was reading something rather disturbing earlier today where people who have never been infected with Covid (as far as they know) are being deliberately exposed to the virus by their friends (and in some cases their own families) because their friends and families believe it is their "civic duty" to make sure everyone is infected. 

They must be '"thinking" about that mythical herd or hybrid immunity we've been hearing about from people like aquascoot's hero in Queensland?

This probably also explains why the few remaining mask wearers are getting increasing abuse lately - the 'antimaskers' (i.e. the majority) believe the ones still wearing masks are prolonging the pandemic by trying to avoid getting infected.

Unbelieveable. So, if you're a 'Novid' (someone who has never caught Covid so far) it might be a good idea to keep that a secret - even from your own family.

It's like living in a zombie apocalypse.

I can just imagine aquascoot chanting "Go to the West Coast Eagles games Carl and get infected... and DO NOT WEAR A MASK... you must get infected or the pandemic will never end... Dr. Gerrard told me so..."
