Hopefully later today this will be ScottMorrisonMP. Not in another 2 weeks time when it will be too late and the health services will be in meltdown. That’s when people will die, not necessarily of Covid 19 but other (as of last week ) avoidable causes

Should NSW Government businesses, including privatised ex-departments close / move to majority work from home? Inquiry will show many are still chasing the $ brazenly. Pseudo ”safe distancing” at work ignores compelled closeness of p transport.

How many real cases would there be, considering you are told not to worry about getting tested unless you are really sick or you have been in contact with someone... Otherwise you are told just to stay home... How many cases are staying home... Like me.... 😩

A question or two. Of those who have tested positive, how many have been treated and discharged? How many have gone into ICU? How many have been put on respirators?

How many from the cruise ship? Directly or indirectly?

Hardly surpising with this sort of thing going on....

ACT coronavirus cases more than double in 24 hoursThe number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Canberra jumps from nine to 19 in 24 hours. The more testing we do the more likely the numbers will increase. Is this not, though, a good thing as the more we find the more we can isolate and the higher chance we can curb this? Who is the woman with the super annoying voice reading the news on the radio? She can't even say the word 'Aussies' correctly. shuttheschools now

Govt confirms order of additional 1000 ventilators to prepare for COVID-19 peak | Sky News AustraliaThe government has confirmed it has placed an order for an additional 1000 ventilators as the health system prepares for an influx of demand due to COVID-19. \n\nGreens Leader Adam Bandt asked during Question Time if the government had a plan to double intensive care capacity in Australia. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison said the first line of attack would be effective social distancing measures, to slow the expected health system strain. \n\n“The first line of attack in this is the social distancing and other measures that will significantly alleviate the pressure on the health system,” Mr Morrison said. \n\n“At this point we have a very low number of patients that are actually in ICU, but of course we expect that to change with the spread of the virus in the future.”\n\nHealth Minister Greg Hunt confirmed the second phase of the government’s strategy is focused on seeking to double ICU capacity. \n\n“We are seeking to double the capacity of intensive care units, if not more, including ventilators. \n\n“There has been a major order for an extra 1000 ventilators, placed with ResMed.”\n Australian care about peoples Should of happened months ago, the governments response now resembles this Seriously LiberalAus, healthgovau? From 2200 to 3200 ventilators for the nation? You bureaucrats are hopeless. Why only now when every muppet could see these were required two months ago. I purchased my own O2 concentrator because I knew the bureaucrats would make a mess of it.

NSW records 149 new coronavirus cases in biggest daily jumpNew South Wales has reported 149 new coronavirus cases in 24 hours, the highest one-day jump since the outbreak began. Not very lady like. All you idiots at the top were given one chance to control even had countries far worse than us to learn from and watch the results. Yet you still aren't learning from what is happening overseas! Some are calling for a complete shutdown, if that can be enforced obviously that will work. But people are ignoring authorities in a part shutdown, how will it being any different in a complete shutdown?
