... too many patients are catching the virus — and an alarming number are dying ...
... 5,614 people were suspected to have caught COVID in Victorian public hospitals between 2020 and April 2023, with more than one in 10 confirmed or suspected to have died as a result of their infection.
"These are preventable infections and therefore preventable deaths ..."
"What we're seeing at the moment is the 'Robodebt' of medicine," Dr Miller says. "The institutional turning-a-blind-eye toward a disease that we know is wreaking havoc within our hospitals — and the permissive nature in which we're allowing patients to catch it — will be regarded as a 'Robodebt' style failure of public health policy, in my opinion."
"We've been living with it for some time but we know that COVID is not a simple respiratory illness, it's a multi-system inflammatory illness that needs to be taken seriously,"
