Not a fan of the Education Dept and especially its senior clerk posing as the Chief Executive, but this actually makes very good sense.

Yes should be named the Covid19 thread for endless posturing.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Agreed.

Yep

No surprise. What a shiftest.

There's far too much football talk on this thread. Should be removed from the Black Diamond Corner section. There are people on here that actually want to talk about Halthcare Failing, Murdoch press conspiricies, how sh*t Adelaide is and Hunchback Wet dreams.

Yep, all is sunshine and roses in Halthcare. I mean, who gives a stuff about the staff.

Pandemic triggers ‘mass exodus’ of critical care nurses

Australian hospitals are experiencing a mass exodus of critical care nurses as the coronavirus pandemic stretches healthcare workers further than ever, prompting medical colleges to warn of a pending workforce crisis.

Australian hospitals are experiencing a mass exodus of experienced critical care nurses as the COVID-19 pandemic stretches healthcare workers unlike ever before, prompting medical colleges to warn of a workforce crisis.

Australian College of Critical Care Nurses chief executive Rand Butcher said in the last year, critical care nurses were “leaving in droves”. He said those nurses had undergone specialised postgraduate training to work in high-pressure intensive care units and were essential in caring for COVID-19 patients.


There has been a mass exodus,” Mr Butcher said.
“They are not taking sick leave or annual leave, they are working extra hours, and at the end of all this we are seeing lots of senior people, who have worked in intensive care for years, leaving intensive care units at a time when they are so valued, and we need them so much.”

Australian College of Nursing chief executive Kylie Ward said roughly 20,000 nurses had given up their registration this year, a number that had shocked her during a global pandemic

TORONTO -- A U.K. company that developed a new COVID-19 vaccine intended to be delivered via a small skin patch with microneedles has been granted approval for human trials.

Oxfordshire-based company “Emergex” developed a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 that is designed to prime T-cells (white blood cells that are part of the immune system) in the body to rapidly remove virus-infected cells.

The vaccine may offer broad immunity from variants and provide long-lasting immunity that would not require booster vaccines,

Although current COVID-19 vaccines have made significant progress in reducing mortality and morbidity challenges still remain, especially with the development of new variants,” said principal trial investigator Blaise Genton in the release. “This exciting new scientific approach to developing a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 addresses the need to generate a T-Cell response to elicit long-term immunity. We look forward to evaluating the results as when they are available.”

So what are we going to call our cutting edge pharmaceutical company? Oh I know.

This time last year you could catch COVID off a pizza box. Now we can afford to open the SA border despite not reaching the 80% vaccination mark. SA sits at 73% of 12+ fully vaccinated and we would need to pile on 7% in 6 days to get to 80% by the 23rd of the month. Obviously Nicola Spurrier is a Public Servant and ultimately does what the State Cabinet says. The Liberal Party has a clear agenda both Federal and State and both are geared to an election in 2022.

Hopefully the COVID clusters that will inevitably arrive after the 23rd will spur the unvaccinated to get off their arses and take the jab. There must be thousands sitting at home in the City of Playford who are willing to inject any shit into their arms but will not take the COVID jab.

A few thoughts.

First of all, as this was a new strain of virus responsible for a global pandemic that had led to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide it is reasonable to say that the level of knowledge about how it mutated and spread was less than perfect, even amongst health professionals. Acting with an abundance of caution, especially in the face of people who had been infected being less than accurate about their movements, is understandable. That is what led to PizzaGate imho and a lot of knowledge and information has been gained and shared globally since then.

Second, you are right about the SA CMO being a public servant - she has this in common with her counterparts across Australia, if not the world. That said, no one can deny that the SA Premier has given both her and the SA Police Commissioner unprecedented leverage under emergency powers legislation to influence government decision making on what is best for our state in terms of preventing covid outbreaks. I think the exceptionally low outbreak levels thus far in SA cf most other Australian states and globally show that to be true.

But - I think the time to balance economic costs and health concerns has now been reached, particularly as everyone now has had the opportunity to be fully vaccinated. This is why SA with all other states signed up to the national roadmap out of lockdowns.

I share your concern that the fact that vaccination rates across different population groups is widely varying and as a result the statewide vaccination target being reached is not necessarily the best indicator of whether it is safe for our state to relax its border controls.

There will be costs, in terms of sickness and deaths and increased stress on our hospitals, from lifting restrictions but those need to be balanced against the huge economic costs already endured by our economy on shutting out the rest of the world. I think the Premier has made the tough but right decision, regardless of when the next state election is. My main concern is that his Health Department has put the right protections in place to help our most vulnerable citizens, including those in lower socio-economic areas, to escape the heightened risk of infection that will be coming on 23 November.

There must be thousands sitting at home in the City of Playford who are willing to inject any sh*t into their arms but will not take the COVID jab.

Apparently the bright sparks at NALHN only recently realised that there are a ton of elderly, infirm, those with mobility difficulties, or don’t drive and can’t afford taxis/rideshares, who couldn’t easily make it to the designated vax hubs (and/or are confused by/unable to use the online booking system), which is contributing to the low takeup in the area — hence the belated pop-up vax centre at places like Munno Para Shopping Centre.

If only there was… literally months to identify and remedy this issue well before the deadline to open up.

Why don’t you just worry about yourself. If you’re vaccinated then you have nothing to fear.

Who could not see this coming? And a reminder that Aboriginal people are the group with the lowest vaccination rates in SA with less than a week before restrictions ease here.

COVID-19 reaches remote NT for the first time, as cluster grows

The pandemic has reached at least one Aboriginal community, forced the activation of drastic biosecurity laws, and jeopardised an already strained health system.

"Alongside poor vaccine acceptance, unchecked mobility loomed as a major threat."

This will be the big thing they need to get a hold of quick

Thanks for the unsolicited advice, let's all put ourselves first and not worry about others? Sounds like the sort of advice I could get from the civil libertarians who protest on the steps of Parliament. The problem is even if you are vaccinated you can still finish in hospital. The chances are greatly reduced but they are still there. On top of that if everyone who could be vaccinated got vaccinated the virus would probably not survive as it would struggle to find hosts.

At 100% vaccination rate the virus will not die, get that through your thick skull. Again I’ll say this, you’re vaccinated & protected right ?

Mass exodus my bottomhole, it is an extreme minority of people from a 'good riddance' crowd anyway. Nothing to see here.

Yesterday's frontline heroes. Who needs em.

tbh working at maccas is probably just as 'frontline hero' as anything. If we are to be a bit honest for a sec, a good amount of nurses spent a bit of time standing around at the nurses station enjoying a catchup. Definitely more hectic in the drive through.

If your breaks don't work, don't drive your car.

If you don't want to catch and spread covid, also don't do anything.
