Dealing with Delta (2021x23)

Data de estreia: Jul 15, 2021

Sydney’s lockdown has been extended by two weeks after an alarming increase in daily recorded cases, with some health experts tipping it could go on even longer. The NSW and federal governments have announced support payments for businesses struggling to survive in lockdown, drawing comparisons to the recent support package offered to Victoria during its last lockdown. The situation in NSW is deteriorating rapidly, with more than 70 patients in hospital, and growing numbers in ICU, many of whom are young people. Joining guest host Virginia Trioli on the panel are: Marylouise McLaws, epidemiologist; Steve Price, radio broadcaster; Mukesh Haikerwal, GP and former President of the AMA; Meshel Laurie, podcaster and author; and Alison Pennington, economist, The Centre for Future Work.
