As a trauma doctor this worries me. This chart is road deaths in Oz since 1989. It is more impressive if reported per 100,000 population - we were clearly winning.
But not since 2020. This year is on track to go higher than 2024.
Attributed to “poor decision making”.

COVID is new, long COVID cases continue to accumulate, most do not get better and it directly causes heart disease. The scale could eventually be massive.

!['This is an illness that didn't exist five years ago ... it's additional demand on the system,' Hensher said. 'The wake-up call here is that, while this [long COVID] is never going to be like heart disease or cancer in terms of scale, actually we've got people who are being hospitalised at very high cost.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oq2yfdc3uqr2t3waaguwmuvr/bafkreigfzncizw6ntwzeoyf4ojr3cwktmy4oxqpqna3rehs6tsplzvsb7e@jpeg)
