Time for better masks - you need to be wearing quality snug fitting masks that are either: N95 or FFP2 or FFP3
(they should all have head straps)
They do cost more BUT you can make them last longer
This is what I do at home
Each of us has our own colour and line
Hope this helps ImageImage

If you don’t know what to buy here is a great thread on the type of mask I wear (the 3M Aura) - worth reading the whole thread as it explains what makes a mask good.

1/93 Dismantling health resources and infrastructure is not a solution to the pandemic

OzSAGE calls for strengthened Public Health Measures and coordinated COVID-19 care in the community
30th December 2021
2/93 Background -
OzSAGE is deeply concerned about COVID-19 in NSW, which is already affecting all of Australia. We commend the NSW government for reinstating mask mandates and QR code check ins. The decision to remove restrictions just as Omicron surged has cost us dearly.
3/93 We now have over 11,000 cases a day in NSW, a testing system that cannot keep up with demand and a health system so burdened that citizens are being told they may not be able to access healthcare. All models to date assumed good testing capacity and adequate contact tracing.

Kid. Aus. Vaccines. Want to know why you can’t get an appointment ? Different dates, different instructions, zero confidence we won’t have to reshuffle. How hard it is to get the logistics sorted???? This CREATES stress and work for all. ImageImage
Some comments from Practice Managers trying to crescent the national. Again.
“I got this one….. does that mean the stock I ordered Monday now won’t be here until the week of the 14th and not the 7th like originally told??? So why do we plan and forecast????”
“But wait I have had two notifications with two different dates sent two hours apart🤪🤪🤪. Not confident to plan any clinics until the stock arrives now.”
