federal government just released the covid-19 response package.
management need to be in canberra begging to get in on this!
how else are they going to diagnose respiratory disease via video/phone conference.
end of the day whole management team need to go as they have proved time and time again they are not capable or trustworthy enough to run this
PLAN TO TACKLE CORONAVIRUS OVERALL
• $2.4 billion to deal with health impacts.
• Medicare item so health services can be delivered by audio or video to people with symptoms at home
• Respiratory clinics
• National communications campaign.
FEVER CLINICS
• Up to 100 ‘pop-up respiratory clinics’ set up across Australia at a cost of $205 million to test those concerned they may be sick
• Will divert people with mild or moderate symptoms away from emergency departments and GPs.
• Clinics staffed by doctors and nurses will be able to see up to 75 patients a day over six months.
MEDICARE ITEM
• A new item will be created at a cost of $100 million, so people at home in self-isolation and quarantine can access health services and reduce the risk of exposure to others. Will start Friday and be fully bulk-billed
• If someone has a chronic disease, like a lung condition, and is at risk if they contracted the virus, they could consult their GP via Skype or FaceTime
COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN
• $30 million campaign to start this week, using television, radio, print, digital, social media, public transport, shopping centres and doctors’ waiting rooms.

People in the public were complaining about this health expert and it was all over the news. There is no way on earth in this current climate, that US, let alone other countries, would allow an app where people who have potential lung issues cough on a phone.
my sentiment is actually None and not held.
