@mike_honey_ @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 hmm winter in Tas. Hope the curve isn’t reversing so soon. Hospitals are full and at breaking point without covid. No communication from govt re improving ventilation, filtration, masking. Only pushing their stadium and football team. Shameful

@fdaily @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 The TAS cases curve looks very smooth, so I assume it is a fairly accurate reflection of the infection trends, unfortunately.

From my understanding, the protection settings in healthcare etc are among the worst across Australia, so it follows that the population will be hammered more by every new variant wave.

@mike_honey_ @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 completely short sighted. Still lacking appropriate health communication and unlikely to get anything regarding improving ventilation, filtration or meeting outside (particularly in winter). Stadium is the focus not health or housing or education
