Progress report, Aus.

COVID-19 is not airborne

Fine you can have some PPE but only if you are scared. ->

OK #COVIDisAirborne but it’s really not the main issue.

We won’t move HQ to airgapped facilities because we have much bigger problems like people touching their face and breaking protocol!

(Worker blaming +even if it were a problem, less contamination would occur outdoors!)

Honestly, anywhere west of Concorde is too remote for staff to travel to… this kind of remote medicine is not suitable for returned travellers. There’s no health infrastructure out there. How would you even get there?

(This is true. Half of Sydney has underfunded health)

The above tweet was partly sarcastic. There is health infrastructure in Western Sydney, but it has been mainly new building at present. Some way to go in other respects… I am poking tongue in cheek at the strange phenomenon that ->

people in central and eastern Sydney do not like to travel even as far as Western Sydney, let alone go “remote”…

It’s quite incredible that we are managing to keep nose above water in such tempestuous times when there is so much resistance to simple, common sense, airborne disease control.

Part luck, part sacrifice when disease escapes, and part hard work.

We could work smarter instead.

It should be noted that although the “special health” accomodation may not have leaked COVID-19 (I don’t know) we do have clusters of unknown origin, and the normal hotel quarantine is not as tight…

We need to step up our game. #COVIDisAirborne

Is it possible that no one can be bothered to find a site for airgapped quarantine in NSW because we don’t like the M5? 🤷🏻‍♀️
