This arvo: woke up after another 4 hour crashing sleep. I go from being up for a while to not being able to open my eyes because my head has an ocean in it and my brain is incredibly sea sick while at the same time seem to lose capacity to concentrate on getting words … 1/ out of my mouth coherently despite them being clearly formed in my brain anything to feeling nausea amd making my way to bed with my eyes shut only to wake up hours later.

Omicron can smack you around & put you in hospital despite being fully vaxxed. As a reasonably fit 55 yo asthmatic who lives in NSW I can also state that you have almost zero chance of getting Paxlovid in time (5 days) to stop that happening, despite desperately trying to get it. Because I did not fit the guidelines for govt supply I tried to buy Paxlovid on a private script (properly assessed by an experienced Covid Doctor & safely prescribed) but I could not access it despite being willing & lucky enough to be able to pay for it. No supply available.

The most dangerous word of this pandemic has been “mild”

Mild is a minor inconvenience.
Mild has no lasting impact.
Mild is tolerable.
Mild is not debilitating.
Mild does not cause chronic disease.
Mild does not affect your brain, heart and other organs.

#LongCovid is #NotMild aci.health.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/criti…

More than 100 persistent symptoms of COVID-19 have been reported in the literature. Only commonly reported and emerging symptoms have been included in the living table.

OzSAGE advice (21 Feb 2022) against removing all preventive measures against COVID-19

In December 2021 we saw a surge in Omicron which resulted in preventable illness, death and severe societal impacts. 1/ There have been more deaths from Omicron in January and February 2022 than the whole of 2020 and 2021 combined. smh.com.au/politics/feder… 2/

1/14 As a human being and the parent of a child who is clinically vulnerable, one of the many things I am unhappy about is the current and growing narrative about who dies with COVID. 2/14 Every time there is an announcement of deaths, there are several qualifiers as to how many “were unvaxed” or “were of a certain age” or “had a chronic disease”, perhaps intended to explain why it was so severe in that individual, or perhaps to reassure the punters that…

Want to hear what Aus Doctors who run our Covid wards are gagged from saying ?

ICU patients are spilling over into ED and onto the general wards. Patients accepted by ICU are being managed with CPAP initiation on the wards with a pH of 6.5 and pCO2 of 100 plus creatinine of 330. Overnight had a COVID patient experience syncope in the waiting room due to a saddle embolus. Picked up another one with a creatinine of +600 just from vomiting/volume loss alone (baseline of 50 in September) causing hypovolaemic shock. But I guess death is "mild"

Survey: I am completely cool with babies being hospitalised with Covid. I am down with Covid hospitalisation of babies being called mild. Unknown long term implications are fine for babies. Parents worry too much about babies. I never worry about babies. Car seats are dumb. I want to know why a paediatrician would be more invested in convincing others that kids are physically ok, but not mentally ok, with just opinion pieces to support both concepts.

1/15 I am pretty sick of reading about Covid. I am pretty sick of advocating about Covid. I am a fu@ktonne of tired. But today is my daughters 13th birthday. So I have been up making her pancakes. Not out of solidarity, out of love. 2/15 She was going to see Hamilton for her birthday with her two closest friends. It has been planned for a year. I had to cancel it. She did not bat an eyelid. Did not whinge. She did not say it was unfair.

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.

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????”

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 Here is some good advice on mask types from @PPEtoheros Image

I don’t know who needs to hear this but there is no slack in Aus hospital systems, each resource / ICU bed allocated to a COVID Patient comes with denial of access to other patients. It also requires staff (a limited resource) who in-turn require PPE which remains in short supply When PPE is exhausted, HCWs are at increased risk, furthering resource pressures. If recently expressed political and self appointed Med Guru messaging reflects the strategic thinking of our leaders, then I hope which ever deity / higher power / universe you call upon help us all
