although i don't doubt melbourne is worse with it's population density, QLD isn't that flash at times as well
Suspect its why people turn up to EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS for often in QLD, VIC or every where. Watched a few times over the decades as people with a sniffle or sore thumb demanded immediate attention. I don't recall exactly how long for me when bleeding and very very broken it in RMH last year. It was fast I think[biggrin]Quote:

Victoria's Government says only 10 to 15pc of healthcare workers with COVID-19 got it at work. How can that be?
A Melbourne doctor who is convinced they contracted COVID-19 while working a "93-hour week" in a busy surgical ward has waited nearly two weeks for comprehensive contact tracing.
"A surgical nurse tested positive in my ward and infected at least two patients and as many as 10 medical staff," the doctor said.
One of the patients who contracted the virus from medical staff was a teenager with special needs.
Key points:
- An expert and a doctor have questioned the Victorian Government's statement on the number of healthcare workers who contracted COVID-19 at work
- More than 2,000 healthcare workers are now infected with COVID-19 in the state
- One doctor who has tested positive says the complete contact tracing on their case has not yet been done
- Are you a healthcare worker? We'd like to hear from you
Must start a Prove it thread?
And that means those ambulances ramping up at Brisbane hospitals are having a slow day, not that there are no beds , you reckon. Supposition and hearsay, waiting for you to say something about Joh Bjelke. Tell you something about the Australian hospital system. Some years ago a review was done, recommendations made, and every state except Victoria signed up to the new system. They had their own way of doing things they said. Looking for the article that explains the folly of that. Will post it up as soon as I do.Quote:

It would be most unusual for a Qld person to be flown to Sydney.
So, if we're being parochial, Qld taxpayers are subsidising northern NSW residents for emergency medical care.
Here's a job offer you don't see every day - trial a Coronavirus vaccine.
I notice the trial takes 5 months, so we won't be seeing a vaccine this year.
