Blame game won't help find a fix for the aged care corona crisis

There is a distinction between a manger and leader. A manager lives by figures and data, but lack intuition and vision. A leader listens and observes, but not necessarily takes the views of his managers and comes to the ultimate decision. Well, there are leaders like to be known as Consensus leaders.

Once the aged care homes were identified as hotspots, prompt actions and sweeping changes should have been made to curb the mounting fatality. This incident is not different from the Hotel Quarantine debacle, the meat works, compulsory wearing face mask, and silly romantic exemption.

Daniel Andrews has a lot on his plate, but he is really losing his grip, and the photo in the article depicted him as “I know better” body language.

How many more mistakes can Victorians tolerate before more lives are lost and the economy take much longer to recover, if it does?

This pandemic brings the ugly faces of our so called leaders in Australia!

Why so many countries still have high positive cases and deaths?

World Health Organisation reports largest single-day increase in cases

Why do so many countries still have high positive cases and deaths after many weeks or even months since the pandemic? Why is Victoria experiencing more community transmitted cases now?

Like what I have rewritten a few months back, the incubation period for some people can be a lot longer than a fortnight, and in one case, it took more than one and a half months.

Some infected people are asymptomatic in the early days, until their defence system happens to weaken due to various reasons. The virus will take the opportunity to multiply quickly. These are likely to be more aggressive and infectious. They build up stronger resistance after learning how to avoid destruction by the body.

Take care. I am advising you as a logician, not a medical professional.

Monday’s easing of restrictions postponed after alarming virus spike

I always suspect a second wave of Coronavirus attack would occur. My greatest fear of a big surge is when air travel resume ferrying inbound travellers from countries like US, UK, Sweden, Italy, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, etc. There are many infection hotspots around the world, but the number of travellers arriving from these places are not in large numbers.

So far the number of school children being infected is still very small, but that may not necessary mean that a surge may not take place. The recent cases that prompted the Premier to reimpose stricter rule dropping the number of visitors from 10 to 5 is a clear indication his and experts concern of a worse outbreak.

Most young people think that they are tough and invincible. They don’t believe they will die from the infection because statistics tells them so. However, they forget that if they become infected and display no symptom, does not mean that they can’t do a great deal of damage to the people they are in contact with, including their friends, spouses, parents, colleagues, and unknown people.

Please do take care and observe social distancing.
