Same for my parents - the public hospital my mother was in didn't allow anyone in. At all. I knew that - makes sense, particularly for an ICU - but I still didn't twig until she told me about a fortnight ago, that as a result she hadn't seen Dad since Christmas Eve. Must also have been their first Christmas apart since they got married 60 years ago. The funny thing is that for much of that time they were only about 200m apart because their flat is opposite the hospital.

2137 new reported cases in WA today and 21 people in hospital with COV19.
Out of 9660 active infections in WA nearly 9000 are in Perth metro area so it makes sense to limit visitors to Perth hospitals or any hospital in the State at this stage.
Hopefully the triple jab will limit the deaths and hospitalisations But there are still thousands of West Australians that havent even had the first jab yet which could result in tragedy.
Stay safe people.

It’ll be interesting to see how committed everybody is and how long they stick to it…..But the community eventually gets tied of doing it right.

We should be crossing the border in six or so weeks….

When mask mandates started in Brisbane I thought there was very good compliance…..

Always good for a light hearted take:

There is always someone who is wanting to make a quick quid.

Got sent home at lunchtime today as one of the blokes that I was on a course with last week has the covids, sadly I got a message to come in to work tomorrow as my exposure is low risk due to him doing his first positive RAT on Sunday and the last day of the course was Thursday. I had already worked out a schedule of jobs (unrelated to my employment) for my isolation time. Negative RAT this afternoon for me and I'll do one in the morning just in case.
