Everyone wants to go and have a glass of wine at a wine bar, and small businesses do need to open and these things are important. But there’s so much more that’s being lost because of what has been determined we need to get back. (part 1) 04:27

I knew that this night was going to be a super spreader event in households across the state, across this city. I know that Christmas Day probably killed a lot of people. 04:56

I actually resigned, but I was contacted by our nursing manager — and then again in a personal email and then again in a personal text message — asking me to come back and work overtime shifts because they were so desperate for staff. And that’s what I’m doing now. 02:53

I’m telling you because this needs to be told: Our health system is not coping. What that means is that if it’s time-critical care that you need, then you will not get it. 11:03

Our health system was overwhelmed. Let’s get that on the record. We did not cope. 08:16

I’ve been in the COVID unit in emergency today. And it was the worst shift in my entire life. I cried and broke down in the tearoom. 09:45

Because we’re in a locked area, if something’s happening, others can’t really see. A patient ran away and got herself all tangled up with all the drips and everything. A new grad nurse was trying to hold her down. She was screaming and she pressed the button for help, and no-one came. 05:56

I ran to help her, and while I was trying to help, I was screamed at by an unvaccinated patient. He was telling me COVID was fake and he wanted to go home... it didn’t click in his mind that we actually prevented him from dying. 04:46

about

On Monday, Australia's borders opened up to the double-dosed. Despite the fact that Australians are being encouraged to be at least triple-dosed. Despite the fact that cases of the nastier new Omicron variant BA.2 have started rising overseas, and we don't know how effective our previous inoculations are against it yet. Despite the loosening of mask rules and social distancing requirements. Despite the fact that our hospitals are already just not coping.

Despite everything, Australia has re-opened - so where the bloody hell are ya?

SONG TITLES TAKEN FROM THE ACCOUNTS OF ACTUAL DOCTORS AND NURSES ON THE FRONTLINES. READ THIS ARTICLE IF YOU THINK WE'RE "COPING".
