Boom! It’s the start of the working week and it is time to get your thinking on. COVID is the topic and Zeroism is the thought. You can see, in the header picture, two squares on the board, A and B. They look different, but they are the same colour. It’s all in your perception. Why is this relevant? Have a read of this fantastic article from Jonathan Chait.
I’ve written about where we are and how we will get to where we want to be.
Cough into your elbow and clean your phone! Both of these will limit spread of those little virus particles!
Now that you’ve cleaned your phone, and are practicing your social distancing, USE the phone. Telehealth is here via your phone, no special equipment needed.
STAY AT HOME, USE THE PHONE
And then :
When it all turns to custard, as they say in New Zealand, one of the safest places on Earth (as I type), your GP is there for you. Your GP is, really, your best insurance.
If you’re a patient, looking for a great GP, PartridgeGP is here to help you, safely and well. You can book a face to face or telehealth consult right here.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has provisionally approved the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use in Australia. The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine will be used initially during the Phase 1a rollout. These vaccine doses will be distributed through 30 to 50 key hospital hubs across urban and rural Australia to priority group 1a. Distribution to residential aged care and disability care facilities will be done through a Commonwealth vaccination workforce in-reach program.
Provisional approval of the University of Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine is currently anticipated in February 2021, subject to regulatory requirements being met. Both vaccines will progressively be distributed through an expanded number of sites, including general practice clinics, existing Commonwealth GP respiratory clinics, state-run vaccination clinics and pharmacies.
Zeroism is an inability to conceive of public-health measures in cost-benefit terms. The pandemic becomes an enemy that must be destroyed at all costs, and any compromise could lead to death and is therefore unacceptable.

We need to do enough, for enough people, in enough different ways, to reduce risk enough. Enough is enough. We may not eliminate COVID but we will eliminate the pandemic. We can then begin to address the economic destruction and all of the weak points highlighted over the last 18 months.

For everyone, we believe that having a usual GP or General Practice is central to each person’s care and recommend that people with any health issues that come to the attention of other health professionals should be advised to attend their usual GP or General Practice rather than a specialised service (ie a place not providing the holistic care a specialist GP would). If they say that they don’t have a usual GP or general practice, they should be helped to find one and to actually attend it. Call PartridgeGP on 82953200 or make an appointment online here.
