Shouldn't they all be dead or on ventilators then? Isn't this a killer virus which needs lockdowns and isolations because it is so lethal?

everything they touch is spreading covid from pens PC n equipment lift buttons

Why the infection rate is so high in Victoria?

What you think a union premiers is going to care about workers? lol They are not as essential as the masked singer anyway! lol

And 100% of covid cases are Labor’s fault .

Unlike the ABC to use misleading headlines to grab attention.

But Dan said last week that more than 50% of health care workers caught it outside of work. Another lie.

So, what.....just means frontline healthcare workers will develop a very strong immunity given their constant exposure. The elephant in the room is Victoria government is ruling by tyranny & oppressive while destroying democracy under the false pretext of COVERT-19 COLD!

The Victorian Governments ability to state the obvious is remarkable. Next they'll tell you that they provided the spread too.

No. Really. How many months did it take them to work it out? How many thousands of Health Care Workers infected? That after the benefit of seeing the rest of the world dealing with a full frontal first wave. Sorry but no jumping of joy here.

And 90% of them were asymptomatic in line with world data and, being asymptomatic were, according to several newly released studies (and our whole history over the last 100 years of understanding how viruses work) were almost completely incapable of spreading.

Misleading ...70 to 80% of healthcare workers who contracted the virus contracted it at work.

These 'health care heroes' have been pretty useless infecting each other and even non-covid patients in non-covid hospitals must have all skipped infection control 🙄

Isn’t it interesting that there are tens and tens (if not a hundred) of thousands of front line workers like nurses, docs, police - who are in the absolute thick of the public... yet none of them have died of C19. 🤷‍♂️ just sayin.

How many of them died? 🤔
