I will be 100% honest with you.

@ScottMorrisonMP speech today made me want to vomit. As in for real.

He is dogmatically preaching “live with the virus”.

There is an alternative, but it’s not on offer from this leader, and it never will be.
The reality is, the Doherty model is not the only model, and it certainly isn’t the best.

Not for health, economics, business, freedom, or anything else.
The Australian people have done everything the government have asked of them, to an exemplary standard. A few hiccups are to be expected.

The Australian Federal Government have not done anything asked of them by the people.

Quarantines/Green lane travel.
Vaccines.
They have wilfully neglected the work to improve ventilation/ filtration in workplaces and schools.

Workers everywhere remain deprived of respiratory protection (respirators) from this airborne disease.

Reports of prisons rationing PPE.
The denial of the work required in buildings to make them safe to airborne disease has left so many essential workers vulnerable.

Truck drivers have complained that they have no proper rest stops.

It is outrageous that the work hasn’t been done to solve this.
Instead of caring for workers, giving them the science based tools they need, and building the facilities and services required, we have a government that makes everything a punishment.

Now the same essential workers will be hit hard again with disease, after so much sacrifice.
It makes me sick. It makes me sick that every single ordinary person that has suffered and waited, has always been destined to be let down in the end.

Just a shot in the arm, and then infected. Doomed to take delta home from work to infect the unvaccinated kids too.
Mark my words, when the outbreak starts, people that can work from home, will, because of the fear of the unknown.

It will be the essential workers that have their kids in danger.

Supermarket workers, shelf stalkers, truck drivers, teachers, healthcare workers.
If this doesn’t stir your soul, if this doesn’t make you mad as hell, if this doesn’t make you want to fight for something better, I don’t know what will.

@shaz_harro There is going to be a honeymoon period as the high vaccination rate, together with ongoing mask use and school closures take effect.

A sense of confidence will return and further opening up. Preparations for Christmas will begin.
@shaz_harro Case numbers will increase slowly until the opening up occurs. For a short while even after restrictions are loosened all will seem well… and then the slow ramp of cases will begin again.
@shaz_harro If schools go back without adequate multi-layered mitigations, and it seems likely an attempt will be made to do this, children’s cases will skyrocket.

The pressure will fall on children’s hospitals.

The size and length of the outbreak is irrelevant.

Educate people and give them the resources and infrastructure to empower them to avoid disease.

All you need is R<1.

#TargetingZero🦠
There are diseases that have stalked humanity for as long as humans have recorded history that we no longer suffer from in many parts of the world.

Never give up.

#TargetingZero🦠
If you can’t save yourself from the first infection, you may avoid a second or third. If you can’t save this generation, you may save future ones from this scourge.

Small study, and half the patients in the COVID-19 arm also had antibiotics, but apparently even after you control for this…

COVID-19 moves in to the gut like a squatter, chucks out your friendly gut bacteria and hangs out with the bad bugs!
H/T @jmcrookston ->
No GI symptoms persisting to indicate the gut carriage of COVID-19 either.

Sneaky.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32442562/
Live virus is shed in stools by COVID-19 patients for many weeks, if it becomes a part of the gut biome, this could be an extraordinarily long time.

We will need to think about how sewage is treated and discharged into the environment, and safety of shared toilets.

A sensible leader would:

✅reattempt local elimination now vaccination rates are high. (the reduction in transmission afforded by vaccination should assist contact tracing).

Add

✅community medical mask/respirator use
✅emphasize ventilation at the daily presser.

#auspol
✅implement community home rapid antigen testing.

✅ use mass pooled testing

✅ use HEPA filters in apartment outbreaks and advise people to use HEPA when isolating.
✅ commence work on sourcing the equipment required to ensure schools have maximum airborne disease mitigation aiming for a solid start in 2022.

✅ procure vaccines for children and ensure all sections of the community have high vaccination rates.

@NSWCHO

Thank you for trying. We will remember forever who it was that infected Australia.

It was @GladysB who made the final call to let it rip.
Please know, that @GladysB did this without ever offering essential workers respirators so that we could get R<1. Never deployed rapid tests to the community. Never in a whole year sorted out ventilation in schools or workplaces.
Decided that all children under 12 and 30% of the eligible population could be left to sink or swim in their own having never even had a chance to access a vaccine!

Up until now, I have been on full sprint mode to try to prevent this disaster.

Unfortunately @GladysB @BradHazzard @NSWCHO @ScottMorrisonMP and @GregHuntMP with @smitchellmlc have now put us on a definite path to uncontrolled and uncontrollable disease.
Sadly despite what @NSWCHO might want, the resources for disease control will soon be much reduced.

There is however something that we can do about this, but it will require going into marathon mode. Stay with me…
We need to push to get work health and safety law to protect every worker in Australia from airborne disease infection with more than vaccines

and…

We need a grass roots movement to just do the work that the government should have done ages ago.
