A comment on my blog about the culture clash in this Australian pandemic response from Dr Aileen Traves, GP. She

Op-ed : my view on why there is an obvious problem with management of the Aus #covid crisis response, and how we can improve. Why are front line docs not buying the plan from the boffins? How to fix this? A cracking read.

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.

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.
