Need judicial inquiry into government and departmental responses to COVID and aged care. How else will we get answers to our questions? ABC is hamstrung. https://t.co/xeg4k2rSaC

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

A broken system. A complacent government.

Aged care needs fixing before even more vulnerable Australians die.

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

New advisory group https://t.co/3yI8BCPSux. Should include families from St Basil's or Newmarch House to contribute their insights. Needs senior nurses @anmf_federal who work in care homes & human rights lawyers https://t.co/VEhbcXgHLs. @ScottMorrisonMP

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

It should happen. How else will we learn? We need objective people to examine the evidence of what was done and what was not done? The recent senate inquiry and the RC hearings highlighted gaps that require explanation. Learning save lives. Silence + blind acceptance = people die

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

More money from the Federal Government for Residential Aged Care https://t.co/t6pzJA1Ozo. Money is welcome. Reinforces an absence of any strategic planning. Only last week $171 million allocated https://t.co/Z2GtrbEqd4 What changed in a few short days? @ScottMorrisonMP

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

Back after a break from this platform. Need to mobilise all efforts to get a judicial inquiry into Aged Care and COVID19 pandemic response. We need to understand what went wrong, why and to do better with the next wave. @ScottMorrisonMP

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

The truth always comes out. Sometimes very slowly. This article on understaffing confirms what we already know. What is needed is action. https://t.co/KRjyijPS3L

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

Lots of reasons aged care home more vulnerable. Fuller explanation at https://t.co/tCKIvB6rDW

Deleted the tweet with the link that was not working. Hopefully this will take you there.

Two episodes of our Covid-19 and aged care podacsts to listen to one with @drjeffcott an international expert in human factors/psychology exploring team work during Covid-19 pandemic https://t.co/vEQOEAitom

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

Our latest podcast explores the factors surrounding an outbreak in a care home. Our interview with a very experienced infectious diseases physician is compelling listening https://t.co/TpeSrP0rSQ

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

We just don't know. The push to only publish from 'one source of truth to avoid mixed messages' has hampered debate and failed to recognise that in times of uncertainty we need different points of view.

[Dr Sarah Russell @AgedMatters]

@ProfJoeonline I hoped geriatricians, virologists and infection control specialists were all working together to advise providers about the safety of older people.

However the prevalence of aged care homes in complete lockdowns suggest it may only be lawyers giving advice. #agedcare

Still waiting for an official statement about lessons learned from Dorothy Henderson Lodge outbreak which is essential for informing all aged care homes.

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

Transparency called for in UK about who is advising the nation about pandemic response. https://t.co/nLBVnCxQLK
It would be fascinating to understand who is providing the clinical expertise in Australia for aged care. Both residential and home care.

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

Listen to our interview with a geriatrician from the UK. Have we learned the lessons for Australia? https://t.co/fLFv6fFgac

[Boyd Fraser @BoydFraser1]

So, according to Anglicare Sydney, operator of Newmarch House, we are supposed to believe that each of the 37 residents who have Covid-19 have had a meaningful discussion re hospital transfer and have declined. Shameless! @JodiMcKayMP @ProfJoeonline #7News @GladysB @alexhart7

The ultimate lockdown? See https://t.co/mMB71oC92T

[Prof Joe @ProfJoeonline]

Our points about what would need to happen to relax visitation. All are within our nation's capability, we have the time, people, expertise and funds to do it. So why is it not happening?

It is with some relief that the Royal Commission will look into Covid pandemic, the management and impact.
