Week 1 of school, 400 staff out because of Covid, South Australia. Leaders have encouraged us to think this is just a hard period that we need to get through, and then it’ll be behind us. But catching Covid doesn’t stop it, you can catch it over and over again, and it can be worse for you each time. The Chief Medical Officer today said: “It will not be the last Omicron wave we will have, and it will not be the last wave of Covid we will have.” I know people probably stopped reading any of my posts ages ago. Not sure why we don’t engage with this disaster. And we’re not being led, in fact worse than that, we’ve been left to fend for ourselves.
