My apologies... I’ve seen the error of my ways. I will dutifully wear my mask on my daily walk on 35 degree days in summer and will no longer query why the person slowly jogging past me does not require one. By the way, I don’t live in Melbourne.

If so see one more person on social media arguing that we should wear masks absolutely everywhere going forward, because many people in Asian countries like Thailand do, I’ll spew up! They obviously haven’t done a comparison of the population density of Bangkok compared to Melbourne’s!

I’m in Torquay and anticipating the usual massive influx starting in December. I may be an exception, but I’m not concerned in the slightest. The way active cases are tracking, they’ll quite likely be in single figures by the 1st of December. Also, come Nov. 9, I’m heading up to Melbourne for...

Hospitalisations down to 2.

Yeah, just shy of 75,000 tests in 72 hours resulting in only 9 positive cases would have to be close to best-case scenario, I would’ve thought.

The “new normal”.

Just drink beer for the entire day and you can ditch the mask! https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/oct/26/boxing-day-test-crowd-allowed-at-mcg-after-melbourne-lockdown-ends

And a whopping 24,673 tests! https://covidlive.com.au/report/daily-positive-test-rate/vic

Even if the interstate borders reopen, how many people from outside Victoria does Dan think will holiday here in summer if they know in advance that they’ll likely have to wear a mask the entire time, as compared to holidaying anywhere else in the country and not having to bother?

Just watched the part of the presser and his exact words were - “the public health team, they’ll provide us with advice, but I’ve tried to be pretty clear with people, I’m a hold out on this”. Sounds like a captain’s pick to me!

I predicted prior to the second wave that we’ll still be wearing masks at the end of the 2021 flu season and got some quizzical looks from people I ran it past. Starting with my partner, some of ‘em are now starting to think I may not’ve totally lost my marbles after all!

Sigmund Freud would have an absolute field day if he was still alive and had a practice in inner-Melbourne!

Did regional Victoria even rate a mention at the presser?!

I’ll ask Peter Matera next time I see him.

He wouldn’t do it for fear of this happening. http://woolwichonline.blogspot.com/2016/02/man-struck-by-lightning-while.html

Grand Final day was just a dress rehearsal for Nov 3!

“Again, I understand that there’s concern about the way some outlets report on politics, particularly News Corp publications. But The Saturday Paper, The Age, the ABC and Guardian Australia, all of whose reporters have been attacked and derided for their reporting during this pandemic, aren’t...

Don’t forget we have a CHO who moonlights as an economist!

Sounds like a fun time for all! Forget about all your worries for a couple of hours, sitting outside in the rain wearing a mask!

And a lot of ‘em seem bemused as to why the private sector would require advance notice regarding reopening! Funny that!

Am I alone in not having a clue what “COVID normal“ is?! I see it bandied around a lot, but have not seen/heard anyone even attempt to explain what it is and what it entails.

Brace for the inevitable “you’re a liar” from the LWFW.

Maybe they would’ve used police, ADF, or a combination thereof in hotel quarantine in the 1st place, which quite likely could’ve helped avoid a second wave of their own making?

Speaking of masks, can someone please instruct Dan how to remove one correctly? Everyday we’re subjected to him strutting up to the lectern like a gunslinger, then proceeding to drag his greasy mitts across the front of his mask in the removal process. Considering the pronounced lugholes he...
