What’s the point in QR code check ins?

Nada. I’ve stopped now.

Did she later find she wasn’t an Ambulance member?

Not sure of the state for this one but everyone who lives in Qld is covered for ambulance- no additional charge or membership fees. (This is just an aside … not condoning stupidity)

The government isnt using it to contact trace anymore or monitor where tracing new infections.

Just took my son to his swimming lesson and I reckon 10 families just walked in without checking in. I did (check in) but just annoying seeing that.

If a close contact is 4 hours of contact then why check in unless you are going to be there for more than 4 hours. I check in but I always think it is a waste of time.

They’ve stopped them as of midnight in retail over here. Common sense prevails.

[em2009]

Didn’t they say yesterday more deaths would be added after a new bunch was classified?

Stop being a spoilsport.

It’s useful for soap opera script writers.

[Chris_1993]

QR codes for big nights out are useful. Too many times I’ve wondered the next morning “where the fark did I go last night”, and now it’s easy to check.

But in terms of infection control - yeah, their utility is probably minimal at best now.

NSW ahead of Vics on hospitalisation and ICU numbers, but does not report numbers on ventilators?

Dad’s best friend was MFB and attended a house in Croydon with the Ambos for a potential heart attack.
Turns out the person (that he described as Jabba the Hutt) was just too lazy to get up and get their smokes off the top of the fridge.

I hope the ambo’s were decent enough to bring a pizza and a six pack of beer for the bloke.

[Aceman]

5 deaths in SA, cases have dropped again and still heading in the right way with hospitalisations.

12 deaths in QLD and CHO said a third of those deaths were unvaccinated

[em2009]

People I think are also starting to come out of their bunkers judging by the traffic today compared to last Saturday. It’s nice to see.

[bigallan]

Get your voucher day?

@handypoint

The nsw govt is now running condescending ads showing people calling 000 for an ambo for trivial reasons and basically saying save it for real emergencies.

This is what you get in a crisis. First time I’ve ever seen the need.

I’m pretty sure most people have that level of common sense Dom you dimwit.

I have a good mate who is an ambo here in Sydney. You would be surprised the number of people who are wasting resources with unnecessary calls out for ambulances - hence the need for the ad. Every day he is getting called out at least a couple of times for completely unnecessary reasons - ie non medical emergencies.

But hey I’m sure your attack on the premier is completely fair given you’re all over the circumstances.

[Aceman]

A lot of junior sport started again today too so traffic increased aswell. Going to head into the CBD for lunch so will see what it’s like in there

[handypoint]

@Odoyle

They run similar ads in VIC. Seems a necessary message to put out there

Yeah but it could be prefaced with, the Omicron outbreak of coronavirus has been mishandled by us in terms of public health settings.

As a result our Ambulances are under tremendous strain, Please consult your GP or after hours care before contacting where possible etc.

That’s not how it’s put on the NSW advertisements

[em2009]

What is this voucher you speak of and where can I get one?

[em2009]

Have fun. Beautiful day.
