There are only 43 COVID patients in ICU today in the whole of Australia.

You don’t have to call us heroes because we haven’t seen a real tsunami.

Call our Public Health Officials and Medical Leaders heroes. They have saved us from an unprecedented disaster. So far.

The job is not done. Small outbreaks can still occur. But the system is now better prepared. Supply lines created. Capacity increased. Staff mentally and physically trained. Systems ready from the entrance of the hospital to the ward/theatre/ICU.

We’ve been training.

But we know that many in the community are struggling due to loss of work, etc.

Please refocus your attention and help from the hospitals to the community. We’ve got masks & scrubs donated and secured. What about getting food and clothing to those who may need them desperately.

Support local charity organisations who are busy helping the needy. Local community organisations and teachers. Support GP practices who have not stopped working in their limited resources.

Our hospitals have received a lot of attention.

Luckily we’ve done well. Let’s now help the needy in the community.
