This week, while I continue to contemplate a life with restricted access to safe work (me), safe healthcare (my son) and safe life generally (both of us and so many others living with medical vulnerability, I dived into Australian legislation relating to the same.
I applaud you and I think you are right but I can see some issues which may not be sorted by law.
Mostly the fact that people do not accept the facts any more - ‘the facts’ have replaced them muddied by disinformation.
For the healthcare situation, for example, what would be a suitable change? I’d say much better ventilation so that the levels indoors are similar to outdoors. I’d also like that level to be visible in EVERY room/area. (They ‘seem’ to have the ventilation at my doctors, which is pretty amazing). I think I’d still wear a mask though.
I’m worried that the onus would be put on you - argued by ‘the facts’ not the facts.
In the simplest terms, we flipped the game to isolate covid patients from general patients during the beginning of the pandemic, we can do the same space wise for vulnerable people now.
For appointments, we do what we all are asking for - the first of the day, masked staff, no arguments.
If we mandate it for the few, with the support of legislation and subsequent guidelines, it isn’t an imposition. Just a requirement.
But still, we can’t go on like this. So we have to try something.

I have so many solutions re healthcare.

Would it be worth making a submission to the Disability Council of NSW?

Definitely! Thank you.
