I WENT for a walk after work on Friday and saw the changes to Anderson’s Inlet where almost overnight a river had been carved out in the local landscape. It was so refreshing to be part of that beauty, and I was aware of the parallels of our COVID journey.
In such a short amount of time, the world’s landscape has changed. Three years ago, most of us wouldn't have dreamed that the last two years were possible. And yet we have experienced such dramatic changes.
In the past weeks, we are seeing Victoria’s health system really struggle as a result of rising COVID cases, with stories from our Melbourne and Sydney colleagues about demand like never before, wards overflowing with COVID and other cases, intensive care units full of mostly unvaccinated patients and nurses holding the hands of people who are dying alone.
