Interesting that everything I see connected to the Virus is a shambles. Yesterday my daughter and family came back from the Gold Coast, they had been to Byron Bay the day before the guy who tested positive, that they made them a orange return applicant. First thing at melb Airport there were checkers there to make sure people did the right thing. There were 3 and I guy directing traffic. He just kept say move through move through. The result most people just walked through with no check. My Daughter did the right thing and went to Sunshine hospital to be tested. Her and one daughter in one room and husband and another daughter in a different room. The nurse is her room is telling she is from a green are and doesn’t need to take a test and in the other he is being told you came from a red area and need to quarantine for 14 days. Neither nurse had heard of Byron Bay or had the slightest idea were it was. After an absence of ten minutes both returned to be told “ Oh you are correct”. Tests taken and all negative. And they wonder why we worry about Covid.
Back to the problem, I Am in my 70’s and I have lots of friends who barely understand mobile phones. They can make a call and a sms but that is it. I truely don’t know how they survive in this 2021 world. On a percentage of membership basis we would have one of the highest number of older members. I think that the MFC has to increase their worker numbers as the current staff cannot cope. I know that is extra cost but it is vital that members feel they are needed. The fastest way to turn off people is for them to feel ignored.
