‘House of horror’: Inside Melbourne’s worst-hit aged care home

One of the biggest threats of the pandemic is unfolding right now. The number of old people getting covid-19 in Victoria’s aged care facilities is frightening.

On today’s episode we look at the Covid crisis engulfing the aged care centres in Melbourne, and how this could be happening given the loss and devastation at Newmarch house in Sydney?

Nicholas Barboussas shares his heartbreaking story about his fathers covid death in St Basil’s nursing home in Melbourne, and Thomas Patsakos descrbes whats its like to have a loved one with dementia in the same aged care facility.

In today's news headlines:

  • Specialist teams rushed in amid Victorian aged care crisis
  • Sydney Black Lives Matter protest over before it began
  • Heartbreaking number: almost 3 billion animals killed or displaced by summer fires
  • Donald Trump Jr restricted by Twitter over anti-masker post

In today's Briefing we ask: what's it like to have family inside an aged care home during the time of Coronavirus? How difficult is it to not be able to visit and not be able to be there in a family members final days? What is the reaction to people refusing to wear masks or the "herd immunity" theory?
