“…person couldn’t find their father in his room, only to discover he was “sitting asleep in the shower chair in the bathroom of another resident’s room…”

“I showed up to one shift and there was just one carer per 45 residents.”

The way that older Australians are being treated by the government and certain sections of the community is dreadful.

The situation being described in this article must be so scary for people, and so undignified.

#AgedCareCrisis #auspol
The government #LetItRip knowing that omicron was significantly mutated and that the double vaccine cover may not be enough.

They knew this risk, and now older Australians are living and dying in what sounds like neglect and squalor.

Government should be ashamed!
I’m trying to imagine being alone in my room, no visitors, no way to call for help, no way to help myself and at some point getting COVID-19 and dying in this helpless and lonely state.

All the while the TV will be droning on in the background “We have to get back to normal”.
Hearing is meant to be one of the last senses to go… Perhaps broadcasters on MSM should be mindful of the dying aged care residents listening to their voices on radio and TV as one of the last things they will hear on this earth.

If the dead could speak…

Masks work. Respirators work better. Anyone saying that the public shouldn’t be given access to respirators is essentially saying either the government still aren’t ready 2yrs into a pandemic, or they think the public are too stupid to manage one.

#auspol
Here is evidence to show that the public benefit from using respirators.

Everyone should have access to a respirator that fits them. Governments should give out adult and child trial packs, and then people should order the one that fits them best online.
Employers of essential workers should fit test their employees and make available a supply of suitable respirators for those that can wear them.

I should warn you that there are many physiological and anatomical differences between adults and children… and although younger immune systems are stronger, there are many things that make children more vulnerable.
For example, babies and young children have small floppy airways. This can lead to collapse (closure) of the upper airways making breathing very difficult, very early.
I strongly suspect that this mechanism is involved in the change in presentation of omicron.

Next the heart compensates for increased oxygen demand from infected tissues by increasing the rate. Stroke volume increase is limited. Kids can de-compensate very quickly due to sepsis.

It’s called multilayered mitigation and harm reduction.

This works on an individual as well as population level.
For the individual, lower dose inoculation probably gives the best chance for vaccine mediated immunity to reduce organ damage. Dose to disease severity link shown in animals and other viral disease, so a worthwhile pursuit.

Fewer infections in a lifetime also worthwhile. ->
Currently we have kids reporting reinfections within weeks of infection. That’s unlikely to lead anywhere good whe the pathogen causes vasculitis and autoimmunity among many other long term issues.

Yes, I am.

Quarantine is not the same as lockdown.

To reduce the risk of lockdown, install airborne mitigations in the community. Legislate for safer air and deploy respirators to essential workers.
Standard troll tactic to reduce every single life preserving measure to lockdown.

Don’t let them fool you.

There is no choice but to #CutDownTransmission and one effective way to do that is that is to have proper quarantine and isolation periods based on science.
The alternative is *dire*.

Ongoing circulation of COVID-19 will cause a massive wave of chronic disease including heart failure, strokes, dementia, Parkinson’s like movement disorders, autonomic system messed up, immune systems shattered.

No choice.

I can’t be bothered getting into the “is SARS-CoV-2 HIV” debate.

It’s no more likely to be exactly the same as HIV, as it is going to be exactly the same as the flu.

Is some form of acquired immunity-deficiency possible… maybe. Keep getting infected and we may find out.
T-cells are being activated when they don’t need to be though. That means that they may attack the wrong things (autoimmunity) or be switched off because the are not required. When they are switched off, they become unresponsive. ->
Unresponsive means that if something (virus, cancer cells, other bugs) comes along later that might have been recognised by that T-cell, it is no longer available to participate.

We have also seen T cells being destroyed in COVID-19 syncytia. So some may be lost there too. ->

THE PRESSURE SORES!

There is no end to the cruelty of this government.

@ScottMorrisonMP @Dom_Perrottet

have FAILED as leaders.

#auspol
For people that don’t know what a pressure sore is… it’s when you sit or lie in one position for so long, that the tissues and even the bones erode away.

Starts off as red skin, and then becomes deep holes.

They are extremely painful. Agonising in fact.

Hell on earth.
That’s what the government has unleashed on the vulnerable.

Hell. On. Earth.
