Whilst none of that has anything to do vaccination hubs we get all that regardless. In my case, whilst they don’t sound as impacted as you, I’ve got a niece that’s a senior sister in a major hospital, a friend that consults to Hunt, and another friend that’s nursing Covid patients. So I know the difficulties.
Everyone is under extreme pressure. Not just you and your cohorts. People who don’t even have a job to complain about. People in other industries that are at breaking point eg law enforcement or industries that are on their knees eg hospitality.
It’s a global crisis. Everyone is impacted. Everyone. Significantly so in many cases.
Exactly. How do you manage or police that ?? She just made a decree for ALL of those people - vaccinated or not. There’s no way of applying and managing rules to separate classes of people. Where’s the framework and capacity for that ???
You’ve missed my point. I am not saying health professionals are the only ones under pressure. What I am saying is that before criticising and saying things are easy understand that none of it is easy and that it is the same people being asked to make decisions and do things over and over.
I am always grateful I have a job and have been paid whilst this is happening as do all my colleagues, nor do I feel that we are the only ones. Compared to some others we are far better off, but none of that changes the relentlessness of what is happening and the difficulty of it.
There are diffferent pressures on different people and we shouldn’t minimise any of them because all are real.
Really not sure what any of that has to do with vaccination hubs and the drive thru variant of them. But again I understand the pressure you’re under.
Nothing much, as I said I was making a broader point
the only relevance is that if we are to set up more drive throughs vaccination hubs some poor bugger has to do it and he/she probably has 100 other things to do already. You can’t grab somebody off the street to do it because it needs a certain expertise and knowledge to do it
I am sure they are being looked at but as I already said I have no direct involvement
If anyone is in a “race”, it’s her and NSW. She must have some damn interesting modelling that shows the crossover point of cases and deaths beginning to retract at a certain level of vaccination. She better get to that point bloody quick.
No problem. I get it.
On the hubs, these drive thrus are being established and run by the major health care providers eg StVincents, Western Health, Monash Health. All of them already have walk in hubs so you’d like to think that between their resources and experience with walk ins that the establishment of drive thrus is seen to be more efficient, places less strain on resources. Like I said earlier, appears there will be a re direction of existing resources towards them.
The Federal Government is also working on a development and support program for more of them around the country - I suspect NSW will be the first recipients of any such program.
So it turns out my kid and her BF got Pfizer yesterday.
They booked AZ at Jeff's Shed. On arrival, they were offered a switch to Pfizer, but there was a huge queue for Pfizer, so they stayed in the AZ line. As they are young, in their mid 20s, they were approached again in the queue to see if they wanted Pfizer, but then another staff member said people already in the queue can't switch, they said OK no problem, we'll get AZ. Its their turn at the head of the queue, woman there says "I strongly recommend you get Pfizer so go straight in". So effectively they jumped the queue and got Pfizer even though they were more than willing to get AZ.
Bizarre.

It’s nice that Dud-mo has supplies flowing now - 6 months late - but now he needs the states to have the supporting infrastructure in place and be operating effectively and efficiently to be able to make use of it and meet these timelines that are being bandied about. And then there’s a whole heap of other issues to contend with in order to meet those timelines eg the laggard phase we’ll hit, boosters that we’ll need in a few months and so on. None of that is factored into John/Mary/Paul whoever they are in suburban Melbourne and their CovidBase projections. (They make a very discrete disclaimer around that if you notice.)

'It's a no-brainer': Queensland goes it alone to build regional quarantine hub
Queensland is building a regional COVID-19 quarantine facility near the Wellcamp Airport, west of Brisbane, despite the federal government repeatedly rejecting the proposal.

Niki nails it, as usual. The bungled vaccine roll-out is the biggest policy fail since Federation.

Morrison’s election plan? It’s as easy as A, B or C
The path to re-election for the Prime Minister has hit a few bumps, many of his own making.
Highlight the vaccinations at the start as being another incredible result, quickly gloss over the case numbers and deaths as an afterthought.
Rinse and repeat every day.

the only time ive ever experienced a Tote melt down has been the day after Richmond premierships.
As she said a few days ago, the only number that matters is vaccinations. Deaths, nah who cares. How many got vaccinated.
