"It is already difficult for our hospitals,He says hospitals – which have been battling COVID for more than two years now – are already experiencing high levels of patients, and absenteeism due to illness in staff."Due to the number of cases,, particularly among those who are at higher risk of severe disease, most notably people over the age of 80 and those who have not received all recommended vaccine doses," Professor Kelly said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon.
"These variants are highly infectious and have an ability to evade the immune protection from either previous infection or vaccine," Professor Kelly said. "Although three or four doses of vaccine remain very effective at providing protection against severe disease from BA.4 and BA.5,from person to person.""Yesterday reaching 5,200 hospitalisations with COVID is very close to our peak throughout the entire pandemic, and it will be more," he told RN Breakfast.Professor Kelly said the AHPPC had called on employers to allow work from home if feasible.
"Employers should review their occupational health and safety risks and mitigations, and their business continuity plans," he said.
flags are in incorrect - arrangement
We need to learn to live with it like the rest of the world has.
Yeah switch off the media
Sweet...so no more masks, restrictions and lockdowns at least
Staying out of it would be an excellent start.
Until AlboMP and CMOKelly get on the same page with ALL State Health Ministers and provide ONE National source of messaging on this current outbreak of 3 variants, it's confusing for many. Sort it out and get serious, quickly 😕 CovidIsNotOver OmicromVariants
Look at the current facts. The vaccinated are 3x more likely to get covid and die than the unvaccinated. If you as a health professional don't know this then what the hell are you doing in such an authoritative position?
for a start model wearing a proper P2/N95 instead of a surgical mask COVID19 auspol
To hard for most denialism is rife due to piss poor messaging from those in charge got live with or not , it post Covid it a winter wave oh wait we had a summer one did we not ware mask don’t ware mask. But but but if only it was 30% CRF maybe it would be different or not !
Who is the 🤡with the mask 😷?
Where am I wrong? - Most Covid deaths are in highly vulnerable categories. - 80%+ vaxxing leads to strains that don't care about vaxx status. - With vaxx effectiveness diminished, the most vulnerable are not protected. - Resulting in more death.
I wont be changing a single thing.
No shit Sherlock 🥴🤦♀️🤷♀️
Get tenth shot
Shuddup u face 🍕
My family turned the tv off and completely ignored the government, it worked really well for us so we won’t be doing anything differently.
Hospitals are empty. This is all lies - how many people in hospital Australia wide, how many tests are taken of those already in hospital for other things, and what percentage of those tested positive ?
RachelBSYD2 By 'do things differently' he actually means more of the exact same things that didn't work the first few times
What a genius! Has he realised Australian's trust the government to tell them what they have to do. Not the recommendations, we are constantly recommended to not get drunk, but look how that turns out. MaskMandates are needed along with strong education campaigns.
Yes, stop discriminating and stop ruining your immune system with endless shots that don’t work. Sun, exercise and improve your health.
HEALTH FIRST and Staying Safe!
Superficial meaningless propaganda.
Let's do things differently by going back to the same thing we've already done, that doesn't work.🙄👎
For almost 2 years we kept getting told that all the things getting put in place was on the health advice. Now the health advice is saying one thing and the pollies are going against it.
Massive antiviral prophylaxis, therapeutic nutritional strengthening ( as per the data ), stop vaxing, sleep, sunlight, unstress. As per vaccinologist / virologist Prof Geert Vanden Bossche's forecast and advice.
BS. What we need to do is exactly what was done before, mandate masks. WTF is the bug issue when we've all been there before and it's 100% proven to be a very effective 1st line defence. Hand-balling this decision to politicians is as weak as piss and medically irresponsible.
Let's do nothing. That's working fine in most of Africa
People will follow their leaders, so if no masks on leaders no masks in supermarkets and schools. Leaders need to get with the program.
No kidding 🙄
We need to stop listening to you. That’ll be a good start
So the vaccines they sold to us that would get us back to normal, aren’t working ? Ok got it .
You mean like get a fourth Booster 😂😂👍
We can never forget both Federal and State Labor demanded and built quarantine camps that don't get used whilst ignoring our health systems during a pandemic, people are dying and it's because your bad decisions.
All of his advise so far has been incorrect, based on inaccurate models.
