In February of this year a great mate of mine went to the doctors with a bit of a tummy ache. His appendix was removed a week later, cancer was found in his appendix, further tests showed it had spread. Scroll forward to this week, he is back home after the latest of several operation and has endured much Chemo. His stage 4 liver cancer statistically will kill him in 1-5 years. So we get around him, his wife and boys and make sure whatever time he has left is the best it can be.
There would be ten's of thousands of people in a similar situation, either dealing with an illness that means they rely on our health system or supporting someone who is.
This myth that is perpetuated that the response to Covid 19 is about prolonging the life of 1% of people that have one foot in the grave is just so much BS.
The mantra from the start of this pandemic was "flatten the curve so the health system is not over run".
If it gets away from us as it nearly did in Melbourne it will not just be the 1% that die, everyone relying on the health system will be affected.
