On 31st August 2020, a group of thirteen senior Melbourne doctors signed an open letter to Victorian Premier Dan Andrews expressing deep concern with the government’s handling of the corona virus pandemic. Five days later, 491 other medical practitioners, mainly from Melbourne, had added their signatures to the letter, which describes the government policy of stage 4 lockdown as “ill-focussed, heavy-handed and unjustifiable”. It calls for a more pragmatic, common sense approach.We talk with Geoff Wells, an honorary consultant urologist at Melbourne’s Box Hill Hospital, who organised of the letter. Geoff reckons the effects of prolonged isolation – depression, neglected pre-existing illnesses, increased rates of suicide and devastating financial hardship, could be worse than the corona virus itself.beyondinfinity.com.au/doctors-warn-of-serious-side-effects-from-victorias-covid-lockdown/ ...

And if we’re all on Facebook, does it even matter? Is this expensive, high-tech app solution really any more effective than New Zealand’s paper and pen contact diary approach? To understand the issues at stake, Michael reckons we need to educate ourselves about the technology.Listen >>beyondinfinity.com.au/are-we-cool-with-the-covidsafe-app/ ... See MoreSee Less
