South Australia seems to also be simultaneously in the grip of an unprecedented late second influenza wave.
Here's the current state of South Australia’s Ambulance service dashboard. Every hospital bar two are in the white zone, which is effectively “off-the-scale”.

The combination of heaving healthcare facilities packed with vulnerable patients, and inadequate protections against the twin outbreaks of respiratory diseases will no doubt add a snowball effect to this disaster.
