We're aware of an email circulating on social media and across the community containing incorrect information. This is not from RBWH. Please stay up to date and informed through legitimate sources, such as our official Metro North channels and the Queensland Health website.
Can you at least clarify which bits are correct and which are incorrect? Or release an information sheet like this with what you do know about the virus?
Mum was talking about this. She believed that holding her breath and drinking really hot fluids would help prevent her getting it. She’s 78 and she doesn’t need to be handling boiling liquids. I wish people would investigate where these bits of ‘info’ come from before sharing.
Ok Looks like some bits are true.... I heard that the virus is a protein encased in fat.. breathing hot air ie from a hair drier , inhale hot as you can take, fat will melt...spray face with cool water, breathe out...repeat for 5 mins after coming in from “the world”... repeat after an hour.. hot drinks don’t cut it... you are targeting the sinus... & gargle with Listerine after exposure/ hot salt water... drink regularly to wash any virus into the stomach where they are dissolved.... there are YouTube clips about all this.. seems legit to me...of course super hand wash.. we are looking at changing shoes and maybe even clothes b4 coming into the house..( we have a patio and outside bathroom...)..
All these people sharing that the virus dies if exposed to temperatures over 27°c need to get a thermometer check their body temperature and think about whether that makes sense.
Couldn’t even get the name of the hospital correct.
I received it and also the same info circulating from another hospital.
If it was from RBWH it would use all metric measurements and British English spelling.
That's a different email/post/article
Don't know how to access "tagged. Can you email, gloane@bigpond.com or msg info?
I'm loathe to believe anything these days that comes through the internet😕🤔
How the fuck did this get to me Ang??😂😳
Andy And-Chez Marchant .. FYI. You’ve got to be really careful with the sources you share with friends. Xx

Delirium is acute confusion developing as a result of an illness, operation or medication. It affects one quarter of inpatients aged 65 years and older and can lead to other complications.
Fortunately 40% of delirium can be prevented through programs like #rbwh's Eat Walk Engage!
This program helps teams focus on important patient care strategies that sometimes get missed in busy hospitals: getting our patients walking, keeping their minds active, and ensuring good nutrition and hydration. 🍎🏥🤗
Looking good Ellona Davys Tim Clague Sophie Kerr and Telissa Nugent 😁😁
Kath Ryan 🤩😍
Yay !! A shout out for Eat Walk Engage.🎉 This is such a wonderful program and I have been part of it at the Caboolture Hospital since January. So many patients have commented on how much it has helped them while admitted in hospital. Not only is it rewarding for the patients but for myself also. It feels wonderful to be a part of the patients journey and knowing, even though u have only played a small part in their recovery, that u have helped somehow. Nothing makes me feel better than to put a smile on a pts face. I also have to give a huge shout out to Shelley McComas and Emily because without them this wouldn't be possible. Also Prue and all the crew at RBWH. Without all yr ground work this great program wouldn't exist. 💖
Do hospital staff practice social distancing also?
I’m confused to why all of the people in these photos are not practicing social distancing. You guys should be leading be example. If these photos were taken before the Virus 🦠 .. then you should make that clear.
Go you EWE assistant’s 👏🏻
What r u doing there Axe man? 🤣😎
