Considering construction sites are creating decent outbreaks (116 in box hill).. and Foley suggesting today they need to do better…do you think it’s a tad silly they get to increase construction site numbers at 70% first dose?

Yet to see a tradie at or near a site wearing a mask. Just doesn't happen.

Memba when EB Games was essential?

In LD5 I click and collected some shoes which I am yet to wear because the ones I was replacing are still ok to wear. Clearly very essential!

More info on the Pfizer allocations and is a clearer picture and not cherry picked. Table below starts from Feb and are Government figures.

What the figures show is what Australians would probably expect: some states experienced greater shipments at some points in time to respond to rising coronavirus case numbers.

This is what happened in Victoria in June, when it received 527,994 doses, more than NSW or any other state. This reflected decisions made public at the time to bring forward doses for Victoria on the understanding it would give up some at a later point.
The same thing happened on a much greater scale in NSW after coronavirus case numbers started to rise in June. More Pfizer shipments went into the state to counter the outbreak in western Sydney.

This is a different way to view the rollout compared to the daily results on jabs in arms. The shipments do not always lead to jabs in the same month, given the vials can be stored for weeks before being used.

tennis in particular (singles particularly) should be OK. Its ultimate social distancing (long as you dont shake hands at end of game)

the argument against golf in LD2 was given the location of courses, it would see people break the 5km rule and hit the sandbelt areas pretty hard

also some of the councils said they couldnt manage the punters coming in and maintain social distancing if the stores/dining areas were off limits

 

[Rob R]

again the issue came up due to external media reporting. Dan has to respond to it in some way.

Auditor general just flagged more corruption in his govts response to covid? Any chance he will respond to that or just try find another convenient female minister or public servant to blame?

Essential should mean essential. If not having something means you’ll die, it’s essential. Otherwise it’s a want.

Learning to read and write is pretty essential

CFMEU dislikes this

I recall Jerome stating that there are no double vaccinated cases in hospital yesterday.

Its still early days for VIC. It will happen, but at a far lower rate. Very old people and people with blood cancer, or organ transplants, or other immune smashing diseases can get very sick or die even if vaccinated. But it happens at a much lower rate.

 

[eddiesmith]

I think this is one time that he should actually dictate!

I'll love nothing more than posting photos of myself to socials and tagging ******* anti-vaxer/lockdown mates after 20 months of spamming rubbish.

What is clear though is that there are some draconian rules that don't make a difference. NSW allow golf and tennis as an example, so I have NFI why we need to faceplant everything here in Victoria when it demonstrably has no epidemiological basis.

Mask wearing compliance is 100% up here today. Why? Because people have freedom so they’re willing to follow one or two required rules. Got to give the people something if you want them to follow the rules, not just lectures

NZ back up to 23 cases with 10 odd wilds.. thought they might get lucky but looking a bit less likely today. Smaller vax job which helps.

 

[Magnum27]

Exercise is essential.

You're allowed to go and kick a footy in the park with one other person, shoot hoops with one other person, but can't hit a tennis ball over a net with one other person.

If there is no epidemiological rationale for faceplanting certain activities, then doing so is overkill.

I would certainly like golf back, the only times me and my partners are together is on the tee box, from then on we generally go in opposite directions

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Normally irrespective of your political bias you are quite balanced.

This is not one of your best posts.

Balance is when you fangirl (or boi) Labor and hate on the Coalition.

 

[chickenonachain]

I honestly believe a couple of trained monkeys could run this state better than Andrew’s and his merry men

Yes please. For me its a combination of sport and hiking since I'm basically bushwalking half the time when I play.

Scummo has had a howler. Gladys has played covid better than Dan.

Jesus wept. Are you Phil Coorey? Gladys is the reason we are in this mess.

 

[FIGJAM]

Jesus wept. Are you Phil Coorey? Gladys is the reason we are in this mess.

I'd have thought the virus was the culprit.

If Gladys' targeted lockdown / mockdown was the reason, then Dan's "going early, going hard" approach should yield a different result instead of it being on exactly the same trajectory.

The reality is the biggest two cities with similar demographics have had similar problems. Might need to check one's ego at the door if you think any one individual or government is a cause.

You aren't really a mate many would want to have around I don't think with an attitude like that.

Do you think Gladys has played covid better? Because that is the comment I was questioning.

 

[andrewmillman]

Without question - far less lockdown / death over the pandemic, yet both nsw / vic will end up in the same place.

Overall absolutely!!! It's not even that close.

Are you the sort of person that thinks a high golf score is better than a low score?

 

[Tiger08]

No I understand golf very well..and while 112 is a pretty bad round even for a hack like me, 235 is just ridiculous.
