As Omicron moves in, Australia is facing a predictable tragedy in aged care

ABC  

Today, there are tens of thousands of elderly people sitting alone in their bedrooms in nursing homes — some with COVID, more being tested, others stuck there because of management's well-founded fears. The Aged Care Royal Commission set out comprehensive recommendations to avert such a disaster by increasing staff numbers and paying proper wages, ensuring up-to-date vaccinations and giving families regular access to their loved ones. Minister for Aged Care Services, Richard Colbeck, admitted that some of the private contractors who received millions for administering the initial vaccinations and the boosters "may have taken time off over Christmas". When 655 people in aged care died in Victoria in 2020, it was found that many of the outbreaks were due to infected staff working across facilities.
