Coronavirus Outbreak

[Snake]

Listening to a representative of the aged care providers earlier and couldn't believe that there are still allowing some staff to work at up three centres. This is particularly unacceptable during a pandemic and should have been stopped months ago!

As I wrote weeks back, no great problem with previous policies from much earlier in the response both here and elsewhere, but the industry and governments should have learnt better lessons from the Newmarch disaster, along with other homes.

I can’t really blame the casual worker for working at multiple sites to make a living. It’s the systematic casualisation of the workforce that has come back to bite us in the Pandemic. It needs a major re-think.

Certainly does and months into this pandemic it is time to be getting angry about it in relation to aged care. This is not a matter of individual wrongdoings, rather a federal policy area. Mistakes resulting in unnecessary deaths have already long been made and they should have learnt from them, so no excuses from now on.

I agree with you but good luck in getting this federal government to make positive changes to their IR policies

I can assure you there will be a lot of IR policy changes in the not to distant future !

2 Covid19 cases in Qld today from two women returning from Melbourne via Sydney. They have been back in Qld 8 days mixing with the community while unwell. At least one school and shopping centre are closed. As they will discover, it will have been passed on in the community. Irresponsible as I thought as per NSW they had to isolate for 14 days?

These two need to be made an example of 6 months jail !

I wouldn't vote for her and I am a. Labor voter. She should have offered assistance to Dan Andrews. Copping the GST revenue from the Vics.

Undoubtedly there will be many changes but i have very little hope with the coalition in power that they will be positive and protect the people who need protecting

Completely agree

with qld closing borders to sydney maybe the three qld teams and Melbourne need to come into nsw to play

Too late. I would speculate the 2 cases today are the start of the ongoing battle.

Just me but Vic and NSW need all their GST revenue now to fight off covid. If the smaller States lock the borders, then the GST revenue sharing should be scrapped for now.

I like that idea

Ana P might be in for a close race at the election. The woke and twitter verse might be challenged by the silent majority

How's the GST carved up atm? It wasn't long ago WA were only getting 27% of what the feds collected from WA.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

i think QLD recieve 21% gst

 

[pawsandclaws1]

In view of the spike if Covid cases in Qld, Gladys please close the border now to keep us safe in NSW.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

States return in cents to the dollar in GST revenue

NT - $4.26 for every dollar collected ($2.7b in distributed funds)
TAS - $1.77 ($2.4b)
SA - $1.47 (6.8b)
ACT - $1.18 ($1.3b)
QLD - $1.09 ($14.4b)
VIC - 98c ($16.8b)
NSW - 85c ($18.0b)
WA - 47c ($3.3b)

WA and NSW carrying the can for the rest of the country.

Cheers CB. I'm happy with McGowan keeping the border up until we (WA) get a better proportion of the GST

Six months is pretty steep punishment, but they certainly need to be dealt with strongly if they have been dishonest when questioned.

Stunning news in Vic that 95% of all cases of Covid19 in aged care has occurred in private aged care facilities. The Commonwealth has asked for Vic help and RNs are being redeployed to private aged care facilities. Vic Govt hospitals to assist. Most non urgent elective surgery is cancelled. Vic Health Minister. n tears at oress conf. ADF nurses deployed to assist.

Hardly stunning - most privately run aged care facilities are run by penny pinching organisations who go out of their way to cut corners.

Dr. Ezike: 90% of Illinois' COVID-19 deaths had underlying condition
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0afdBUzis

In a previous post I made regarding death statistics from Italy, it was reported upto 6 million people were effected by regular Influenza just before the Covid pandemic.

I noted the authorities did NOT differenciate the cause of deaths between Influenza & Covid.
Doctors were also reporting that around 90% of the patients who were put on ICU or reported as death by Covid had a history of severe underlying health issues and most were eldery.

It may be more contagious then regular influenza, but I wouldn't rely on flawed statistics to make a conclusion that Covid is some death flu going around.

Covid isn't airborne yet people are forced to wear masks now?

There's an agenda behind Covid.

What would that be?

 

[CocaCola]

I can only speculate on agenda.

1 - Monetary & social balance. Alot of poor & middle class will need to take a step back from the economic damage that has been caused, while the rich continue growing their wealth.

2 - Push for future vaccines or meication. No one will be forced to take a vaccine but you will most likely be restricted in your choice of occupation & future International travel.
There is no money in cures, bandaid solution is where they make the money.

It will lead to a vicious cycle.

Man you are speculating WILDLY. There is no way this benefits ANYONE financially. All economies are tanking.

So the WHOLE world takes a bath, rich, poor and govts, so BIG PHARMA & Bill Gates can make a buck?

Be careful, the ones who have been conditioned by the system will call you a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.

Notice how people just choose to ignore this.

I've posted a video on here of a New York nurse talking about the same thing and explaining how they're killing people because they're treating them incorrectly and putting them on ventilators but nobody seems to care.
