Oral treatments help stop your #COVID19 infection from becoming severe and can prevent hospitalisation & death.
You can get #COVID19OralTreatments each time you get COVID-19, if you test positive and meet the eligibility requirements.

"EACH time you test positive."

Way to normalize re-infection.

Each infection takes a chip off your health. If you’re lucky it’ll be a small chip but sometimes it’ll be a bigger chip.  At some point, after a number of infections (which will vary between individuals) your life will be over, figuratively or literally. This is just maths.

Fixed it for you.

What do you mean COVID-19 positive again? I’ve never had it, and plan to keep it that way.

Best thing about private practice is I don’t wear a mask to see patients anymore and haven’t done for quite some time.  What’s the end point for the public hospitals that still require masks?  They are not, and never have been, a cost neutral intervention.

Who remembers when a Royal Commission was called because a government decision ended 4 lives? Good times.

Unforgivable.
It has been said often but warrants repeating: "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members."
We have failed badly for so many vulnerable groups in our community but none moreso than our elderly.

Australians are concerned about any “living with Covid” strategy that would lead to a significant increase in hospitalisations and deaths – and a majority in the latest Guardian Essential poll think governments should not end current lockdowns until a substantial proportion of children are fully vaccinated.

While senior Coalition players such as the treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, have declared elimination of the Delta variant is impossible, saying Australians must learn to live with the virus, 44% of Guardian Essential respondents (including 37% of Coalition voters in the sample) believe the current strategy should be getting Covid-19 cases down as close to zero as possible.

The same percentage of respondents (44%) say they would be comfortable with a reopening strategy that involves living with a few cases of Covid-19 in the community, as long as there were “very few hospitalisations and deaths”.

Asked to nominate the number of Covid-related deaths that it would be acceptable for Australia to live with once restrictions are eased, 61% of respondents say fewer than 100 deaths per year, 25% say between 100 and 1,000 deaths per year, 10% say between 1,000 and 3,000 deaths per year, 2% say between 3,000 and 5,000 deaths per year, and 3% say more than 5,000 deaths per year.
