Victorian mask supplies fell to 'alarmingly low' levels

Throughout the pandemic, many health workers have said they haven’t always been able to access adequate personal protective equipment, including high-level, properly fitted N95 masks.

"After arranging our own PPE, we were told we were causing hysteria," the nurse said. "Sadly, these people got it wrong and now over 1000 healthcare workers are infected with COVID.” “The department is also supporting local manufacturers to modify machinery for production of small-sized respirators,” the September 10 memo said.

Previously, some nurses had reported using surgical masks while working with suspected coronavirus patients, and subsequently becoming infected. Dr Whitelaw said people had questioned if it was because of equipment shortages, though she had been reassured to hear from the Health Department recently that this wasn’t the case.

4)here in Australia, UK, and USA wearing these N95 masks while our nursing and hospital staff are deprived of them! No time for politically correct games anymore! Call it as you see it else be prepared to pay for it a with an irreversible economic and social costs!

3)original working N95 masks from and claimed diplomatic victory! Now we find most of these N95 masked being hoarded mostly by chinese origin people in our countries than any other nationality or ethnicity most of whom wear ordinary cloth masks! So how are these Chinese people

2)that makes us deliberately vulnerable in the medical and health emergency that we find ourselves in! The Chinese planned to make us vulnerable by taking away our medical supplies! Then the Chinese govt supplied fake/defective N95 mask to all these countries they stole the

1)Most of these N95 masks were first shipped out shiploads out of our country and several countries round the world by Chinese foot soldiers of the Chinese govt hiding within our population! So let’s first begin addressing this issue by calling this out and stopping such theft

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Abysmal.

Absolutely shambolic.
