First time I've heard Mark McGowan say the word "Covid" for a long time (the last time was probably when he was still pretending to care about people getting sick and dying before he finally caved in and opened WA's border last March).
COVID WA: WA Premier concerned about fourth COVID wave as cases hit almost 12,000 Quote:Almost 12,000 new COVID cases and 14 virus-related deaths have been recorded in WA over the past week, with WA Premier Mark McGowan voicing concern over a fourth COVID wave.
Driven by a variety of Omicron sub-variants taking hold in the State, new COVID infections hit 11,762 this week, hospital admissions reached 185 and four people were admitted to ICU.
The deaths reported to WA Health in the past week included people aged from 75 to 96 years and dated back to November 19.
Quote:WA Premier Mark McGowan on Friday admitted he was concerned by the impact staff furloughing due to COVID infections was having on the State’s health system.
Concerned enough to bring back mandatory masks on public transport and all health care settings for starters, Mark?
I doubt it.
I hope I'm still around in 20 or 30 years (or however long it is) when all of these 'secret' National Cabinet meeting minutes are released for all to see then we might finally find out who's been pulling the pollies' strings and getting them all to take their 'vow of silence' regarding Covid (I could probably have a couple of wild guesses right now and I'm pretty sure I would be right).
Especially the absolute silence about the 16,223 deaths (and counting). And not a single word of condolence for the grieving families from
any politician .
But, I'm sure most or all of these documents will be mysteriously 'lost' or find their way into a shredder long before we get a chance to see them.
Quote:“I just urge people to take precautions, particularly, if you’re working in the health workforce. Take precautions, take care of your health".
Yeah, that's exactly what some of us are trying to do, Mark. But without any more help from your useless government. Which, like the rest of Australia's useless governments is now too afraid to mandate masks and bring back other Covid
protections like isolation for positive cases to save lives.
