Drones are popular, but most fatal great white attacks are described as sudden surprise attacks occurring from below.

Drones cannot spot sharks who pop up out of the deeper water.

Good reasonable advice from Chaz here.
One thing to consider: People tend to want to run into the water to swim with dolphins, seals, and schools of fish when they see them.
Sharks feed on dolphins, seals, and schools of fish and they think the same thing too.
Experts advise caution when swimming amongst shark food.
You don't want to get mistaken for an injured, slow-moving seal, or a baby dolphin; both are #greatwhite shark snacks.

Are we in a health crisis? Certainly.
Is it new? No, it’s been brewing for a long time.
What we’re seeing is the end-game of four decades of neoliberal policies feeding on the corpse of civil society. Finally it seems to have played itself out.
We’ve reached a point in time where the common man actually thinks taxes are bad. The same taxes that pay the surgeon who performs his gallbladder surgery, the teacher that educates his children, and the firefighters who protect his home.
People have been conditioned to not see taxes for what they are: the means by which citizens fund a functional and democratic society.

I'm going to give @AndrewLittleMP the benefit of the doubt here. I did not hear his quote or read its context.

I hope he's not suggesting it's "totally safe" for any patient in an ED to wait 8, 12, or 24 hours for admission.

In fact, it is deadly.

i.stuff.co.nz/national/polit…
Australasian researchers have shown beyond any reasonable doubt, that prolonged bed block and boarding in EDs (being stuck in an ED when there is no inpatient bed available upstairs) kills patients.
As the emergency doctor I may see you within a few hours, But if you then spend 18 more hours waiting in the ED because there is no empty bed upstairs, your care will suffer and your death rate will be higher.

Check this out, a techie emergency doctor made it.
Crowdsourced CO2 levels.
Would be great if it could be automated.
@KashPrime said he's working on it.
Have a browse and you can get a feel for levels.
What I found is that shops are definitely not our greatest worry; nowhere near it.
If you want rank filthy air if you want to rebreathe other people's breath, there's nothing finer than a bar full of people talking, a restaurant, or a lunchroom.
But if you add just a little bit of cross ventilation problem usually solved quite quickly.
If we were not so easily misled, we would crack a window on one side of the room, open a door on the other, and keep it that way. Magic.
