South Australia: "Patients who went to hospital for one thing, then died of COVID will never be known according to SA Health as records were never kept" By Brad Crouch

@SAHealth @PictonChris @PMalinauskasMP @auscovid19

Source: https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/patients-who-went-to-hospital-for-one-thing-then-died-of-covid-will-never-be-known-according-to-sa-health-as-records-were-never-kept/news-story/e41dea2a57ded66c0ac3ee895e6594d1

However, SA Health says it is unable to say how many of these people caught Covid while in hospital, only that they were identified as having the disease after they were admitted. This is despite the vigorous focus on testing at the height of the pandemic. SA Health released only limited data detailing patients identified as having Covid while in hospital for other conditions who subsequently died. This was from the Central Adelaide Local Health Network (CALHN) which includes the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The CALHN records show in 2022 five patients who were identified as having Covid while in hospital for other conditions subsequently died, and two died in 2023. A statement from SA Health says hospitals undertake robust prevention and control measures to limit the spread of hospital-acquired infections to protect patients, visitors and staff. “Inpatients testing positive to Covid-19 does not mean that it was acquired from the hospital,” it says. “Patients may have unknowingly had Covid-19 before coming to hospital. Similarly, we freely allow visitors at our hospitals, some of whom may not know they are infectious. In response to queries from The Advertiser on how many patients caught Covid while in hospital and how many of these patients subsequently died of the disease, for the years from 2020-23, SA Health said there was no requirement to notify about patients identified while in hospital as having Covid.
“Regardless of whether you test Covid-19 positive or not, if you are sick, stay home and don’t go to work or crowded places until you are completely well to reduce the risk of spreading your infection to others.” The data shows the number of patients identified as having Covid while in hospital dropped in 2023 compared to 2022, including from 86 cases to 38 cases at CALHN which officials say may be due to the RAH having 100 per cent single rooms, reducing the risk of cross infection. SA Health’s tally of seven deaths over two years of CALHN patients identified as having Covid after being admitted is in stark contrast with Queensland Health data showing one patient dying every day after contracting Covid while being treated in hospital for other medical conditions. Its records show in this period, an average of 14 patients in Queensland hospitals contracted Covid daily, with one fatality recorded each day. The data was obtained by Queensland doctors using that state’s Right to Information law.

The “great” thing about England is that when these articles come out and you google the person who wrote them it’s not something boring like “their dad is a trust fund manager” it’s “their dad is a baron, their grandfather edited the newspaper this appears in, and their family founded the private Bank of England”

Let's remember if ballots had been hand counted in 2020, Al Gore would probably have been president.

Sorry for not being clearer, party scrutineers should be there, but shouldn't be out of the possession of a federal electoral commission [who also administered the electoral rolls].

Did I say I was Australian. ;)

PS Here voting is compulsory. Getting off the electoral rolls takes a Death Certificate or a Medical Certificate saying the voter is no longer compliant.

Tory MP calls for "all wild animals" to be culled:

“Because if they don’t their health deteriorates. They don’t have any predators in today’s world. Foxes, deer, badgers. We don’t want to wipe them out, we just simply want them controlled.

“This is just pure common sense.”

    Rejecting forced displacement has been Egyptian (and general Arab) policy since the 1960, when they realised Israel was using it generally as part of ethnic cleansing-genocidal policies.

    OK, so. My kids have a habit of opening bags of corn chips, and then they go stale.

    Today it occurred to me, while staring into yet another partially full bag of stale corn chips: "Maybe I could put them in the for a few minutes?"

    Yes. Yes you can. Maybe this one of those obvious things that everyone knows about and I'd just missed the memo, but in case not...
