“I wonder how the people at the top saying the system is coping would feel if desperate strangers started harassing them at work.”

An interesting thing happened last week. 

Here’s a brief 🧵:
While the media was fixated on freedoms and roadmaps, Australian ICU experts made an eye-opening call to the government:

Indemnify healthcare workers who’ll be forced to deny people admission to overflowing ICU wards.
Lots has been said about the fact hospitalisations have not yet peaked, and capacity “will be stretched” from Oct onwards.

But in many hospitals across Sydney and Melbourne, the situation is already dire.

935 new cases in NSW.

Four more people have died.

“While four is a great number I do think it will go up,” Casey Briggs observes.

“Great.”
Cowra is going into lockdown. I think Kerry Chsnt said a 9-year-old went to school and various other places while infected but she wasn’t clear. Source of acquisition unknown.
Dom Perrottet is up and he’s absolutely frothing re the WestConnex transaction.
“We know that it’s been a very difficult time for Western Sydney, particularly over the last three months, but today there are 5 billion reasons as to why things are going to get a whole lot better.”

Dr Richard Totaro, co-director of Intensive Care at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, is talking about the burden of Covid patients in ICU. They’re typically in ICU 3+ weeks rather than 3 or 4 days. #nswcovid19
By the time Dr Totaro sees the patients in his ICU they’re typically too unwell to speak.
He’s not being drawn on what kind of numbers hospitals can sustain.

Gladys chips in: it’s not so much the number of cases we have. It’s the number of cases that aren’t vaccinated because they’re ending up in ICU.

Reporter: What might happen post Aug 28?

@GladysB: “We are tracking well to hit our 6 million target. We are now in our 40s, in terms of the percentage range, in terms of people with two doses in New South Wales, or at least one dose.”

Umm what?
Pathological inability to answer a question.
So @GladysB is currently arguing that because NSW is in an outbreak that means they can ease restrictions earlier than 60-70% of full adult vax coverage. Bandying around 50% figure today. Talking of counting hospitalisations rather than cases.

Compare the pair:

“Is the hospital system overwhelmed?”

Gladys Berejiklian: Oh here in NSW we have the best medical care etc etc etc

Dan Andrews: “If any Victorian is unconvinced and comes to a conclusion that I am fit and healthy and won't get COVID-19: (cont)
“It is not just COVID-19 patients who will struggle to find the machine to breathe or a nurse who isn't furloughed to care for them or a hospital but is open to care for them.
“It will be people who have suffered strokes, people who have had premature babies, people who have cancer and need urgent surgery, people who have heart attacks.

“All of that part of our health system would be compromised as well.
