Hearing now from @peripatetical at #RACS21 on responding to this unprecedented situation we’re in. Image
Australia effectively works as 8 different nations during the pandemic as the Public Health responses in each state differ.

Stopping bad ideas becoming policies is as important as progressing good ideas. #RACS21 @peripatetical
A single transmission resulted in the second wave in Victoria.

Outbreak settings in aged care, disability facilities, hospitals and high risk settings.

Social determinants of health and structural inequities provided a platform for the pandemic spread. #RACS21

We can love our leaders and still critique them. We can love our systems and still critique them.

We critique things not because they’re bad but because they can be better.
When we critique immigration policies, vaccine rollout, hotel quarantine, masking recommendations, etc, it’s not because they’re necessarily bad.

It’s because they can be better.
Maturity is the ability to see things as they are and see things as they can be.

You can disagree and still remain respectful and civil.

You can in one hand be supportive and on the other also be critical as well. Its helping each other to see better.

One year later, can we put this question to rest now?
Countries (Australia, New Zealand & South Korea) that carried out the elimination strategy (zero COVID) did better economically than those who chose the mitigation or “living with the virus” strategy.

institutmolinari.org/wp-content/upl…
Just to clarify to provide context, the Australian Prime Minister wanted us to open the economy and live with the virus (mitigation strategy).

But practically most state Premiers & Chief Health Officers went for elimination strategy.
So in essence it was state leadership not federal politicians that fought the virus, saved lives & livelihoods.

The federal government did play a part, but strong leadership was shown at the state level.

If you stripped away Santa Claus and the flying reindeers, the original Christmas story is much closer to us today than you could imagine if you scratched under the surface a little. (You don’t have to even believe it but just let the story, like any story, wash over you.) 1/
It was a time of geo-political unrest. The “king” was quite an icon. Historians have written about some horrible narcissistic character that was indicative of a poor leader somehow unfit to lead that region. I may be wrong. 2/
A big population census was being undertaken and people had to travel to their home towns. There was significant migratory human movement. In that context, a young peasant couple from a Jewish community had to travel to their country town. 3/

Just to be clear,

Many people are already infected and carrying the virus now, but they are not displaying any symptoms. Some will show very mild symptoms only.

You may be lucky. But you may pass on the virus to someone who might die.

Let’s protect each other.
The reason why this virus is difficult to control is that by the time you display symptoms, you would have passed on the virus to many people.

So please restrict people contact the next few weeks. You’re protecting yourself and others that way.
Contact tracing is one part of the big game. Do everything else too:

Masks. Hand wash. Social distancing. Stay home. Limit movements. Limit people contact to essentials. PPE for HCW. Ventilate ventilate ventilate. (Consider it an airborne disease even if some still deny it).

We had a Christmas party yesterday (Melbourne has had 50 days of #ZeroCovid).

The cardiologists, gastroenterologist, obstetrician, emergency physician had to go to take calls.

ID, ophthal, ENT, paediatrician & rehab physician ate & had fun.

They all lived happily ever after... Image
And in true subspecialty fashion, the Obstetrician had this in her oven and the ENT Head & Neck surgeon dissected this baby. Image
To be clear.

We followed local Department of Health instructions.

There were less than 30 people.
All doors and windows open.
Fans were on.
Hand hygiene and masks were available.
