Yes these definitely are challenging times

I also feel we are finally making the hard decisions - but can't resist saying that if we went more strict earlier we would be in a favorable position

Also can't resist saying I feel Scomo shafted WA with the cruise ship issue - expecting us to find room for such a big flood so quickly. On the flip side, I understand putting people on planes back to their home states is risky.

The hospital situation is also a problem - with Hollywood Hospital one of the private hospitals supposed to be taking the ship passengers.

Having been inside their ICU, its pretty small, without enclosed rooms. Additionally, Ramsay Healthcare should be ashamed of themselves for many reasons - amongst them the food is atrocious.
I took food each time I visited my mother after surgery because there was stuff all food. One lunch was 3 pieces (maybe 2 in x 2 in) of Pumpkin Ravioli, a small piece of bread and a small tub of yoghurt - thats it.

Staff were stretched to the limits - and this was in 2018

Yet when she had to be rushed to King Edward Memorial Hospital (predominately a Maternity Hospital, but also womens oncology) a week later with sepsis, it was the best hospital. Great staff and tonnes of good food (as she was signed in as private health cover they would even bring around a visitor meal alongside hers). Over about 1.5 weeks, there was only one bad meal - shepherds pie haha.

Only time I had to bring food in was some chocolate, and she really wanted a pizza one day, so I smuggled 2 in haha.

So thats a WA perspective on our hospitals

I see the Donald has finally conceded his 'over by easter' claims were complete s***. And what the hell was he on when he was at the CDC visit https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/09/politics/trump-cdc-coronavirus/index.html
