Will our health service let staff get infected?
Or will they follow best practice guidelines developed in Wuhan?
This image from the fever clinic in Randwick does not inspire confidence.

Now that we know what best practice is, infections amongst health staff should not be tolerated. We cannot let our nurses & doctors suffer repeat exposures to COVID19. Look at what’s happening in Spain & Italy. We can avoid this

Best practice? Look at PPE worn in Shanghai in this video.
See the PPE worn in testing clinic. But not just health staff: all officials dealing with the public are protected.
Video:
Compare with PPE worn at Randwick fever clinic.
I have 3 questions...

5/ Three questions:
1) Has NSW Health sought a briefing from Chinese experts on what was learnt in Wuhan re stopping infections amongst health workers?
2) Were reps from unions invited to such a briefing? (nurses, doctors, HSU)
3) Do PPE supplies match pandemic modelling?

Every single doctor, nurse & health worker is precious.
Now that China has shown how to stop infections amongst health staff, we must learn from their expertise.
As a community, we want assurance that health workers are getting gold standard protection.
