Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne advises families to seek alternate care amid 'unprecedented demand'The hospital says there are 90 patients in the emergency department and it anticipates some children with less serious conditions could be waiting 12 hours this evening. That's what happens after 2 years of limited human contact. No immunity. I won't delve into the conspiracy theories that the patients are due to covid vaccine. Imagine if this was a headline 10 days ago, would family's abandon their children for Dan Andrews? Suffer Victorian Mugs Much worse is to come! Suffer you victorian fools, Andrews has appointed a minister for dogs. So you now know where you sit! Be good to know what type of illnesses are being treated!

Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital advises parents to seek alternative careThe Royal Children&x27;s Hospital (RCH) in Melbourne have warned patients there may be a 12 hour wait for less serious cases tonight due to "unprecedented demand". And the person who got Victoria into this mess has just been reelected for a third term. What's the deal Victoria? Why are you such suckers for punishment? Why won't you hold these people accountable? What parent takes their child to the emergency department for 'less serious' cases? What a failure of government you have Victorians, are you really okay with this? drkerrynphelps Mask up, Melbourne. Canada is overwhelmed with sick kids needing admission to hospital. Covid weakens immune systems, making it harder to fight off other infections. Most people get infected by breathing it in. Masks prevent transmission. N95 or better is ideal for kids & adults.

More delays at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital as expert slams government 'pro-infection' COVID policyThe RCH says it could be days before waiting times fall amid a surge in demand. An infectious diseases expert says COVID-19 policy could be behind the surge. Nothing to do with covid and they know it. It's been like this for over 10 years! It's as simple as 'Have a Xmas break but don't travel and stay where you are familiar' Strange that the Vic Gov that was pro-lockdown for the longest time of anywhere in the world, is now pro super-spreader events (e.g. World Cup Football at AAMI etc). Good thing they have a loud cult following that will forgive them in any situation.
