Fly in fly out workers who were supposed to be isolating also going out to buy booze. Quite a few vectors for it to spread up thereI read somewhere in the last week that there was an overseas traveller that brought it to the Kimberly.
The government has already said it will take 20-30 years to recover economically . Just amazed at how generous and how swiftly everything has been implemented .
As a government there are times when you just have to act in a way that would, in normal times, be irresponsible and economic madness.Yeah it's pretty crazy, especially for a Liberal govt.
The USA are so restricted by their silly constitution.
It would have been unconstitutional to impose a travel ban from New York state for example but would've done wonders for the curve there.
It's because of that that the US will be new epicentre soon enough, if it isn't already.
The rising number of ICU cases is the big worry still.
Firstly, a good percentage of those ICU patients have come of the cruise ships, so that's not a big problem.Yes and on this metric WA is well behind, mainly because we have so few ICU beds per person.
Currently, 11. 1% of our beds are taken up by COVID patients. The next most in a state is SA with 4.7% of beds.
Maybe it's due to WAs recent economic woes but we're really behind other states in ICU beds.
Firstly, a good percentage of those ICU patients have come of the cruise ships, so that's not a big problem.
Secondly, you have to adjust number of beds for population. I think we're on par, NSW seems to have more per population than anywhere else, but this is probably partially because they have more population centers (eg syndey, Newcastle, Woolongon etc).
Hmmm, not sure the constitution is the primary factor here- to the Covid politics and Lizard people thread.The USA are so restricted by their silly constitution.
Apparently normal flu cases in WA are the lowest they have been for 5 years at this time of the year and people fronting up to ED with gastro are down 50%. It is possible that less people will die this year from flu/corona than the flu in a normal year. Social distancing and staying/eating at home is having a positive effect on our health.
The worlds a funny place.
Hopefully more and more of us will see the value in an annual flu shot.Apparently normal flu cases in WA are the lowest they have been for 5 years at this time of the year and people fronting up to ED with gastro are down 50%.
