I'm assuming the 154 under investigation, means community transmission.

Stupid campaigners ruining it for the 99% of the population doing the right thing.

I would suggest this new ‘spike’ is just an uncovering of cases that wouldn’t have been discovered if not for the ramped up testing.

If that’s the case it’s almost as concerning as the actual numbers . The fact that there are people out in the community transporting the disease without even knowing they have it

There’s going to be a glut of businesses to buy in the very near future.

So am I correct to assume with no formal presser to announce these numbers we are looking at a fairly big news presser later today?

Wow.

That is a filthy set of numbers sitting here in early July when the rest of the country has gotten this thing under control months back.

We have a Royal Commission for any issue these days - we certainly need one to explain fully what has happened in this State re the Covid second wave.

I know Toorak & Brighton have a massive problem with domestic abuse but they were never locked down like this when they brought it back from the cruises.

or ski trips to Aspen.

No coincidence there given how many politicians come from the Legal profession.
