April 2, 2020 COVID19

Today’s media : Twiggy Forrest changes the game; Border closures great; tests need to start in private pathology like Q, Vic; stop restrictions on PPE for HCW & more.

AMA WA has been working alongside Government with Dr Andrew Forrest & Prof Peter Leedman from the Harry Perkins Research

Today’s media : there is no disaster that cannot be made harder to handle by the arrival of sick patients into an under prepared facility with no notice to doctors & nurses. Preposterous.

A health problem cannot be solved if there is political interference in placing the patients in the most appropriate facility

How to make a cruise ship #Covid19 problem worse by sending them to unprepared private hospitals where HCW will get sick & spread the disease. It is madness.

My initial response from yesterday, Sat 28th March to cruise ships patients bringing #covid19 into Perth PRIVATE hospitals. On first

Trainee doctors don’t want you, or themselves, to die on covid front line. They should be starting their careers fighting with the right masks & gowns & prep – pls buy them some TIME by going to lock down soon & test test test. Haircuts can wait. Tick tock.

I received this from an anaesthesia trainee : the future of our profession. I am an ANZCA trainee currently working

Today’s media conference : reduce number of cases, test, prepare. Clear govt strategy & communication might stop strangers from abusing me on the street… Let’s be more Canada than New York. Cruise ships contain humans. Lock it down, test test test in private pathology.

Watch today’s media release here (finally with ASL interpretation).

Frontline news : from Canada, where docs get tested in 5 mins, texted result in a few hours, vs Perth GP who still can’t get staff tested tho the Health Dept says they can. I reckon the GP is telling the truth. Can’t implement = system failed.

Had a chat to a good friend who is an Anaesthetist too, works on the front line in Canada. Canada

Today’s media conference. Lock Down. Test. Prepare. Tell us all. If we avoid overwhelming the hospitals this way, we can save many lives that otherwise will be lost. We know it’s hard but we want you to do it.

I outline in more detail the reasons why we respectfully need from the Government now– transparency – all data on

Today’s press conf : Front line doctors tell the WA Premier to slow interstate arrivals & use all other measures eg partial school shut down NOW, cos they won’t be ready for huge #covid numbers in April. Premier says “Yeah Nah”.

Front line not ready for #covid. The curves don’t lie. We either have tight social controls & interstate flight limits now, or much worse – overload & lock down later. Warning : contains graphs that ruin Easter.

WA is missing out on the natural isolation advantage we have, by allowing open air travel from interstate and being

Press conference 16/3. WA goes from 18 to 28 cases overnight. Schools will close anyway if case found, so let’s start reducing attendance where we can to delay spread, avoid sudden shock. If health wins, economy wins.
