Much as I despise Morrison, his being at a hospital would not help one patient, or the staff for that matter, a whit.
As someone replied at that Twitter feed: “it’s also Jane McGrath Day which raises millions for [the breast cancer] foundation. The PM attends the Pink Test every year irrespective of party lines.”
No doubt, had the PM snubbed Jane McGrath Day at the cricket for any reason, let alone a publicity stunt and photo opportunity at a hospital, he would have been condemned for that too.
He can’t win either way.
Why are the medical staff stretched to the limit? Because the unvaxxed ones have been let go? Because the hospital is full of vax injury patients? Because every time a staff member has a positive test they have to be sent home for two weeks?
I’d be betting all of the above I think.
Not only that, but close and casual contacts also get sent home.
Right or wrong, justified or not, anyone who kicks ScuMo is fine with me.
I’m kinda with Shy Ted on this one.
Anyway, the nurse shortage has been traced back to too many off rehearsing Tik Tok dance routines.
California Department of Public Health is pushing for healthcare workers who test positive to come right back to work in hospitals, don’t bother wasting time in isolation … because hey there’s a staffing shortage.

But they are very strict on their mandates to never allow any unvaccinated healthcare workers in the door, when they do NOT test positive … because hey don’t you know we need to protect people?
Somehow I think perhaps it’s not really about health. It’s become a religion. A weird and desperate religion, without the attractive artwork and music.
