we don't know how long she'd been there
About a week if I recall correctly.
Aren't hospital workers tested regularly or in isolation if a family member tests positive? Was the hospital worker vaccinated?
Valid questions I dont know, and think no one should be allowed to work in a hopistal in a patient facing role if not fully vacinated. Nursing staff in 1A have had vaccine access since February, and 1B since late March and are given booking prioity at hubs over general public. Simply no excuse to not be fully vaccinated by now.
So you are wanting visiting and not care giving then
Yes, because attending to cognitive health is just as important as giving someone a shower, and I never claimed otherwise. You just gave a lecture on care giving (despite me never mentionining being a care giver) which ironically comes up short if someone's physical health is stable but not their mental health.
When people with demmenture dont interact with people their conditions worsens rapidly.
Can you imagine the rorting if just social visits were allowed?
You fail to recognise that those inclined to flout the regulations are already doing so. Adding an allowance for fully vaccinated family members to visist other isolated fully vacicnated family members is no more or less likely to be rorted than the existing regulations but will alleviate much mental anguish for many without creating a greate risk of spread.
Do you truly believe the Police will throw the book at you and consider you to be flouting the rules for delivering groceries and distributing medication for your elderly parents, one of whom is suffering a very sadly debilitating illness and the other who is presumably of a similar age caring for her?
Yes because my Dad does their grocery shopping and buys and adminsters the medication (not to mention those deliveries can be done contactlessly).
I wouldnt be doing those things, I would be talking with my Mum and getting her to do puzzles etc to exercise her brain and give my Dad a break and NSW Health told me that doesnt qualify care giving.
Believe it or not no one on this forum has authority to approve my visit, I have contacted NSW Health and they have said no. I am today writing to Gladys calling for a rethink given our vacicnation status.
If on the other hand this is a stunt to keep promoting the bizarre views on vaccine products you have, then that's up to you but a solution for your problem is there I would think.
I find it bizare that you feel expecting eligible people to get vaccinated is a bizare view. I believe people should register to get the recomemnded vaccine for their cohort as soon they are eligible to do so, then keep that appointment and actually get jabbed. Making endless excuses for why people arent doing that is far more bizare imo.
Opting for the recommended vaccine is far more prudent, than taking AZ when Pfizer is available to you and has a shorter time to full vaccination.
