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.
The laws to protect workers will change, but it will be slow. Everyone that can should spread the word on how to protect yourself from airborne disease.
Use all your connections and your social media. Write letters to MP’s and write often.
Don’t give up. Pester power is proven to work.
Organise yourselves into parents groups, worker groups, and give yourselves a voice.
We can’t stop the train wreck they are causing, but we can try to reduce the harms.
For example, if we can get even one school to allow parents to crowd find HEPA filters for the classrooms, that’s hundreds of families saved.
Push.
Don’t give up. Be annoying. Be as annoying as I am and then some!
Write to @safe_work_aus and @SafeWork_NSW . Food it and keep their inboxes flooded until large companies are forced to provide clean air and better masks for workers.
Get names. Get reference numbers.
Tag @zerocovidaus to promote your efforts and we will amplify.
If you can afford it, carry a CO2 monitor and bring us news of places that are doing well with their ventilation. We can get the fresh air movement started.
If you are a worker and you are trying to effect change at your workplace, you can let @zerocovidaus know and we can amplify your voice (anon if needed).
Yes Australia, we are going to get pandemic fit even if it means bursting into sweat and going red in the face.
We might not be able to win without help from the government, but we can make killing people a darn sight more difficult, noisy, messy, and leave a paper trail for history.
Who knows,if we can make a difference get workers the things they need, a life might be saved.
Are we going to die without a whimper? I don’t think so!
Let’s fight this together, and help each other where we can.
@CO2Guerrillas is the place to send your CO2 readings to!

@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.
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. #TargetingZero🦠mississippifreepress.org/15715/in-missi…
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!
