the warnings about hospital overload have been clear.... they haven't invested in new, or even temporary, health care facilities as they were indeed thinking that all would be well once we had the vaccines.
the problem with the reasoning is that they forgot to consider the health system being flooded with unvaccinated people ill with omicron and needing advanced life support.
If Morrison, Hunt and State leaders had any foresight they would have started improving quarantine and health services when the original alpha virus began killing off older people as well as younger. Delta reinforced the dangers of not preparing but still they didn't do the necessary upgrades.
Now they, Fed and States, should be rapidly developing plans for at least temporary health facilities as they did in the US and elsewhere.
