I think he's back when Hawthorn and Centrals become relevant again.

Oh he's still able to post, it just the Daisy username that's been banned. UK Fan is still posting and there are others he could use to regale with his pearls of wisdom in this thread....

I said that?

If every Australian paid $100 that's only enough to build 1 hospital ( Fiona Stanley in Perth, nRAH here ) and that takes around 4 years from design to completion.

TQEH footprint couldn't be expanded, Lyell Mc was already tendered and a new ED getting built around 8 years after the last development, Flinders ED was already out to tender, this shit doesn't happen over night and in health terms 18 months is a mere blink of the eye.

Look at the testing clinics they've created, the contact tracing teams and infrastructure, so, so much has been done to help control this pandemic but to simply go "Here's more money make more beds" is so short sighted.

No I’m not saying they can build it overnight but give us a plan at least.
A vision.
Some **** hope at least!

If they started this plan 12-18 months ago we would have that vision at least and know what the future may look like.
We are no better off than we were 18 months ago.

I think the government have done an ok job holding the fort but they could have done a lot more here as well.

Extra beds aren't the answer on their own it s the human clinical resources (Medial officers, Nurses, Allied health) that where the spend is required to support community services so we don't rely on hospital beds

Oh and people doing the right thing to protect ourselves, getting jabbed, social distancing, adapting to the new normal.

On the weekend, chatting about people doing the right thing and staying home if they're crook, remember the "Soldier on with Codral, soldier on".

Not any more.

Socceroos World Cup Qualifier in October to be the first 'major' sporting event held in Sydney since the latest lockdown laws.

To attend you must have had both of your vaccinations and players will be required to wear tracking devices at all times except for playing when in the country.

Be nice if they could just play the match in a COVID-free city such as Adelaide or Perth, but whatevs.

Well firstly rule out Perth. Nobody is getting in there, the People's Republic of Mclown is closed.

Secondary Adelaide and miss dodge the ******* ball? Come on nobody is looking to take that chance.

I think Sydney would have went hard for this as they have pretty much thrown the towel in on Covid and would love to showcase how they plan to move forward despite thousands of cases.

They would have wanted this bad whilst Adelaide couldn't care less about a low key soccer game.

Sydney’s peak still predicted to be 2-3 weeks away and could get to 3k per day according to the experts. Let’s hope they are wrong

I think the Vics numbers are slightly down today but over the next month we should really be seeing the signs of vaccinations.
In NSW something like 75% of those in ICU are unvaccinated and around 20% with 1 shot.

245* for Victoria yesterday.

246 today.

A former state pollie I know suggested to me recently over a drink or two that one of the issues was staffing costs. He pointed out that when nurses trained on the job in the hospitals, instead of at independent training centres, that kept the cost of keeping beds open down, and so it was easier to clear out the ED and prevent ramping, while at the same time it was affordable to hire more senior nurses to teach and supervise the training student nurses.

A couple of nurses I knew in the past, who had trained in the new college system, volunteered that the trained in the hospital staff also were more of top of procedures and practical things than the new college graduate nurses like themselves for the first year of nursing.

An interesting speculation.
