Oh, no. Hope your mother is OK, Greg.

The WA government has just scapped all remaining Covid protections including masks and testing in hospitals from what I've heard.

I believe it's also the same for the rest of Australia (or most of it). Totally insane.

Some of us are trying to work out exactly how does mandatory masks and testing in hospitals affect business and tourism?

Maybe I should take a trip into the city and ask a coffee shop owner (or Basil Zempilas)?

They removed the guy with COVID from the ward, and now everybody will have to be tested every day (not sure for how long).

They've shut the door and put up a stand outside with masks, gloves, aprons, etc.

Everyone has to put on every single piece of PPE before they can enter.

Mum was coming home on Monday, but now she could be stuck there for another week - I'm not sure Undecided

And, there's no checking when you visit a Perth hospital now.

You just fill in a short survey on your phone - what hospital are you visiting, what ward, do you have COVID - and wear a mask. That's it.

They don't check vaccination status anymore - anti-vaxxers like lastnail can just walk right in.

Speaking of tourism.

Someone was asking in the letters to The West Australian last week if Mark McGowan could let us know exactly how many Italian tourists have visited WA after the first Qantas Perth to Rome direct flight in June with Mark and his new best friend Alan Joyce on board?

My guess would be that you could probably count the number on both hands (not including thumbs).

Just spoke to a nurse, and she said they're putting her on anti-viral medication and closely monitoring her.

She has a fever of 39 degrees, and a cough.

Otherwise in good spirits and doesn't sound too concerned. Quite upbeat.

She's in her mid-eighties and has heart and lung problems - I'm pretty concerned Cry

Already lost Dad this year - couldn't handle losing Mum right now.

The good news is, she's in an excellent hospital with an excellent team so hopefully she'll be okay.

Has to stay in for at least a week, so they said.

Another sleepless night for me Sad

Commiserations Greg. Hope she beats it!

Thanks Monk.

The odds are against her, but she's a real tough old chook.

I actually think she'll get through this.

I've decided to quarantine myself for the next 5 days, seeing as I was with her and the other two infected patients yesterday.

There's a good chance I've got it myself now.

Netflix, wine, and guitar playing for the next week

Get well soon, Mum Smiley

A hospital should be one of the safest places to be, especially for the elderly and other vulnerable members of society. No one should be going into a hospital and catching Covid.

No one should be going into a hospital and catching Covid.

Just got off the phone to the doctor in the hospital, and they're about to give Mum her the first dose of anti-viral meds.

She's still very upbeat and doesn't have any serious symptoms.

The doctor told me if I test negative with a RAT in the morning, I should be fine to go out in public.

I might self isolate for a few days anyway, just to be safe.

Fever has gone down, and she feels a bit better. Isn't coughing as much. Still feels bad, and didn't sleep last night, but she's alive and in good spirits.
