Occupational Therapist Reports Hospital Staffing Crisis and Breakthrough Infections

I worked before I decided not to take the booster due to allergies and increased asthma symptoms following the first two jabs. Most of the people who were admitted into the Covid ward during that time got Covid from being in other wards such as orthopedic, or surgical wards. There were many who were asymptomatic but unable to go home due to the support available when they discharged home. A lot of the delays in hospital of those being discharged were actually from the lack of care workers (mandated out) available to support on discharge.

Patients would be admitted due to falls and delays in treatment and family struggling to meet the needs of their loved ones. Private Hospitals and Resthomes also had lack of staff due to the mandates and had reduced care and often delayed discharge. 90% of staff who got Covid were double jabbed or boosted and high risk of passing it onto other staff. Staff seem to have reduced immunity and are more affected by the RSV and flu that is going around.
