    It’s probably hard for the layperson to understand but ICU is very different and rather complex in its requirements for specialty staff. To think staff from other departments can fill the voids with limited training is farcical and only serves government sound bites on how prepared they are. Time for a Tui.
    Turning to con now that the spin is not working for Clueless Cindy & her team of incompetents.

    Bit of a worry there's a proposed new law giving the health ministry powers to commandeer private testing labs and supplies in the event of a severe covid outbreak.

    I guess, depends on which definition of "commandeer" you pick.

    Number 2 sounds reasonable, doesn't it? This definition is similar to what the word "require" means in the resource management act.

    The govt. can pretty much commandeer whatever they like in an emergency.

    An emergency it created by smugly sitting on its hands for the last 18 months.

    From coronavirus thread, workingdad writing as a frontline worker:

    And even now, Cindy is still fluffing about without any clue or clear direction as to how to get out of the hermit kingdom scenario.

    Good example is the vaccine mandate for school teachers & staff. Principals & school boards are begging for full information & clear direction for eg as to what to do if staff refused to get vaccinated!

    Reactive and incoherent piecemeal policy making on the hoof.

    Announce, sow confusion and work out the details later - Clueless Cindy's modus operandi.


    https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/ed...mation-vacuum/

    Excerpt :

    "Principals were having serious conversations with staff about their future employment in a "vacuum" of information.

    "There's just guesswork taking place about whether it really means 'no jab, no job'" when there could be other alternatives for those people, he said.

    "We really have to act in ways that preserve our humanity when it comes to people's employment." (Cindy's advice - be kind remember?)

    He did not know how many staff would be affected across the primary sector.

    The Ministry of Education had set up a working group with the sector today but the details should have already been worked out, Rush said - given there are just four weeks until the first dose deadline.

    Unbelievable!!!!!
