Concerns mount over Victoria's face mask shortage | Sky News Australia

Throughout the state’s fight with the coronavirus pandemic, many frontline workers reported being unable to access necessary PPE.

The shortage prompted the Andrews government to encourage local manufactures to modify machinery in an effort to keep up with demand. Nearly 3500 health care workers across the state contracted the virus.

again due to complete government Scaremongering, total incompetence & over the top bureaucratic red tape there is no Australian based Aussie owned company who make masks for all medical personnel services. People Never vote for a 2 party government system, independents only.

Darn, no more medics making tictoc vids then🤔🙁

Buy some more filthy ones easy fix.

More scaremongering from SkyNews no wonder people are fast losing interest in your so called news

What happened to the millions of masks we stock piled?

Health care workers are responsible for 18,000 deaths by Medical mishap every year in Australia. auspol COVID19VicData They're also spreading misinformation relating Covid19 stating it can cause long term effects when in fact it's the drugs they administer doing this.

The PPE number goes down, the infection number will go up, the curfew will be extended. Nice work.

Only in Victoria. laborfail auspol springst DanMustGo

Good!! SCAMdemic!! 🇦🇺💪 Although masks are manufactured in Victoria so calling BS on this.

So now maybe the state can revert back to how it was in March when they explained there was no need for public to wear a mask as there was not enough for medical staff.

Ok I call BS on 3500 health care workers contracting the virus - the China tests are unreliable & the tests pick up anything - human DNA, dead cells etc. There is NO COVID-19 SPECIFIC TEST. It’s the FLU, same as last year. Look at 2019 influenza/flu stat’s then look at 2020 😱😱

Maybe all chemists, supermarkets etc should send all PPE/masks etc to hospitals. As we all know the W.H.O. have stated that HEALTHY people should not wear masks. Masks were only ever for doctors/surgeons so they didn’t spit in open wounds when conducting surgeries etc.

Exactly - there is an abundance of equipment available however government dealing with Their own preferred 🏦 suppliers - Corruption COVID19 PPE

2014 study confirms the harmfulness of masks

I respect our healthcare workers. I want them to be safe. I have never worn a mask. I will not take ppe from those that actually need it. DanMustGo DictatorDan following science 😂

Restrictions on prescribing hydroxychloroquine must be lifted & the truth must be told about its effective treatment so that lives can be saved & crippling lockdowns lifted. Put people before politics. HCQworks 'I'm angry because...people are dying...”

Didn't Andrews say yesterday Vic has massive stockpiles

Embarrassing they are still in this position!

Come On!!! I just got out if hospital & there was NO shortage of masks or equipment..The only thing that was lacking was Hazard Bins to dispose of the used equipment that had such a 'Deadly and Contagious' virus on it! I asked the nurse & she said 'nah we just put them in the bin

Don’t need masks anyway , except for health workers

They can have mine!

DICTATOR ANDREWS SHOULD RESIGN. Thank you Vic. Health Workers. We always remember you as PPE HEALTH STARS to save human life regardless to your lives❤️✅👍. You’re now almost running out of PPE that’s not your faults but Andrews’s responsibility. He’s unfit KING of Vic InMyView

Not good to hear. Anybody else also noticed now that we wear masks surfaces are not being sanitizered as much especially supermarkets.

Ok, so when all this started they said 'don't wear masks, they're ineffective and it will create a shortage for health care workers'. Then it was 'everyone wear a mask'. Now it's 'hey there's a shortage of masks for health care workers'.😒

The public does not need masks anyway, they are as useless as tits on a bull. Absolute nonsense to be wearing a mask.

Use a scarf and shut up..

So ask what ScottMorrisonMP is doing about it then. Why hasn't the fed gov offered assistance? Oh, that's right....LiberalAus members don't actually WORK, they just complain all day.

DictatorDan can get his mates in the ccp to pump out a few more ..

Victorian health workers would be disposing these masks as Bio Hazard as per protocol. 🙄

They can always use panties😊 Dopey Dan said its perfectly acceptable

Victoria’s new ‘Stalinist’ legislation goes against all civil liberties | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rowan Dean says the Victorian government’s new “Stalinist” bill will give the same people who ruined hotel quarantine sweeping and unprecedented policing powers.\n\nThe Andrews government is expected to introduce the COVID-19 Omnibus Measures Amendment Bill which endows particular public servants with the powers of an ‘authorised officer’ to enforce public health interventions.\n\nThe bill – which will last until April 2021 – gives officers the power to detain people whom they perceive to be a high risk person (either with COVID-19 or a close contact) and who refuses to comply with health directives.\n\nMr Dean said the “mind boggles” at these new sweeping authoritarian powers, especially given that the bill entitles the same public servants who failed with hotel quarantine “the powers to run around arresting people”.\n\n“This is what happens when you have Lefty lunatics running your government and riddled throughout your bureaucracy; this is what you get, disaster after disaster”.\n\nSky News host James Morrow said it was by no means an exaggeration to label the new bill as an “absolutely Stalinist piece of legislation”.\n\n“It’s shocking that in the wokest, most Left leaning state in Australia, you would have this sort of legislation which goes against all civil liberties, against all due process,” he said.\n rowandean Bill has to be passed by the parliament before it becomes a law.
