Its been a nice run of days off. Ready to go back to the grindstone tomorrow.
The Australian figures at least are looking like we are in control of all of this. But that only means that we are going to be isolated for longer, although at a more manageable pace.
Now officially the busiest COVID hospital in Perth.
Joondalup style
it’s an amazingly quiet morning. You should never say that of course as there is always a price to pay when you use the q word
A different form of self isolation.
I’m suddenly living another life. I know I’m not the only person in the world to do this, but it’s strange how quickly things change.
The world is falling apart, and some bits are still in denial. I find it strange how anyone could ignore this or not see it coming.
Anyway, its here now, and time will tell how bad it will become.
It all started today. The first COVID cases started hitting us. So I’m going into exile from home, so I don’t infect anyone there.
Hopefully I don’t get it either, because that is a risk.
I’m trying to be the person the hospital needs. I think I can do that. I hope I can do that for the months ahead that this is likely to run for.
And I thought I should write this here today so that one day I can look back on it all.
So much happened today. We reconfigured the hospitals on call, started a COVID clinic, and opened our first COVID ward.
I just hope it’s all enough.
There is so much to do. People to redeploy. Anxiety to quell. But at this stage I think we are getting as prepared as possible for what is coming.
Well, it’s been a week of it. Mass ignorance followed by mass panic. I still think its the calm before the storm.
We need cooler heads to prevail. Panicking is not going to help.
At a federal level they are just starting to acknowledge this. Fortunately at a state level this has been tracked for a while.
Holding at 60 degrees, despite the heat. Fan at 1800 RPM. All good so far.
After the (brief) server downtime today, I’ve realised it’s the mesh wifi that is part of the problem. So the server has gone to the node now. It’s truly a headless box.
I was a bit worried about the temperature but the fan seems to hold it at 57-60 degrees which is ok I guess.
