No mention that it’s COVID, I would like to know what PCR test they are using and how many tests are being carried out, if it’s because of covid it totally debunks the cult strategy of zero covid and lockdowns in general, the ruling class globally have a lot to lose here particularly if we see a spike in deaths.
They are also vaccinating people, will deaths spike here? Is it possible that the vaccinations will release a different covid strain?
Worth keeping an eye on.
People are being treated in corridors, increasing numbers of staff are reporting burnout and wait times are becoming longer.
In the past 48 hours, Dunedin Hospital and Whangārei Hospital have reached capacity, asking people to keep ED for emergencies only.
Now, medical practitioners around the country say it is a nationwide problem that, without support, is only going to get worse.
Australasian College for Emergency Medicine president Dr John Bonning said the emergency department was where the stress was most visible, but the whole system was under increasing pressure.
"Patients are stuck. They're in corridors. They're spending six, eight, 12 hours in the emergency department where we're forced to try and provide them longitudinal care," Dr Bonning said.
Some ED shifts were functioning with only two thirds of their normal number of nurses.
"So it's about the sickest and most injured patients not being able to be admitted to the ward and us trying to look after them whilst we wait for those ward beds to become available."
It was easier to outline the hospitals that did not have a major problem than to name the ones that did, he said.
"Virtually everyone I have spoken to has issues with this. We've had the biggest January and February on record."
