Experts now calling for elimination strategy in VIC.

The crucial mistakes that left millions of Melburnians in a second lockdown

How did the COVID crisis in Victoria escalate so quickly, and has the recent explosion in cases exposed a fundamental flaw in Australia's strategy for tackling the virus?

Just recognise your good luck folks

Melbourne has nothing to apologise for - we've just been unlucky

The fight at hand to stem community transmission must take priority over temptations to attribute blame.

In this world you make your own luck.

SA have taken 1 plane load of travelers in 3 months, any time they want to actually pull their own weight instead of letting everyone else do their quarantine then being lippy about how great they are that would be nice.

But nobody wants to come to SA, just ask Dan Andrews

 

[Chief]

ahhh Chiefy - forever defending the left, even if it means backing in a demented old Biden who can barely string a complete sentence together.

So... when you're ready to discuss the facts.

God only knows...

99 problems but the Rona ain’t 1 of them

It's a good positive solution focused article by Catherine, it is what is needed. However, the time will come (September) when responsibility will be identified.

8 staff at Melbourne's Alfred Hospital have tested positive and hundreds are now quarantining. The hospitals infection controls appear to have broken down

Health Reporter Dana McCauley reports today that access to the hospital's COVID-19 ward has been restricted after workers raised concerns about infection controls.

Staff are concerned about infection control at the Alfred's COVID-19 ward.
A healthcare worker at the hospital, who spoke to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald on condition of anonymity, said there were serious concerns about infection control in the ward.
Photographs taken inside the restricted area this week show rubbish bins overflowing with contaminated clinical waste including discarded medical gowns and other personal protective equipment.
Staff are concerned about infection control at the Alfred's COVID-19 ward.
"I had to touch the bin lid with my hands to get PPE off," the worker said.
"It's disgusting and dangerous."

The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald have been told by multiple hospital sources they include a ward clerk, a pharmacy student, a pharmacy assistant, a nurse and a respiratory intern who may have had contact with lung transplant and intensive care patients.

Bins overflow at The Alfred with ward access cut after positive tests

The Alfred has moved to restrict access to its COVID-19 ward after eight healthcare workers tested positive, sending hundreds of staff into 14-day isolation.

What’s so hard about quarantine? You keep returned travellers away from everybody else. Victoria forked it up royally.

Well since every state has had issues with it. Wa had a bloke escape, nsw had a lady escape and guards asleep on the job.

Sa just didn't take anyone happy to let everyone else do the work then tell everyone how great they are.

Right....I can just make up rubbish as well.

Worrying times...the virus seems to be spreading across Melbourne more and more each day.

These small clusters will start occurring more and more over the coming weeks unfortunately. It is why Andrews and co. have gone with a 6-week lockdown...the issue is a lot of Victorians are naive, arrogant and dumb...hopefully they actually do the right thing and STAY HOME.

 

[Sterge]

Yeah, thanks for doing your bit SA

Did you see yesterday?
Not a ******* chance.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I wonder if people realize how many kids from the restricted areas actually go to regional schools?

 

[Asapartyhat]

Exactly . You accept that a percentage of the quarantined individuals are liabilities and you do the job. You dont employ poorly trained security that are liabilities themselves and then say -every state has had breaches it could happen to anyone- . Quarantine is not difficult.

 

[Senor M]

I’m assuming James Merlino (Education Minister) will provide more clarification with technicalities like this when he speaks today.... (apparently at 11am)

 

[bonddm]

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

The school thing is a worry.
Quite a lot of kids leave restricted areas to go to Regional schools, also countless kids are from split marriages with parents in a cross between regional and Metropolitan.
I’m just one example who has had a child with me for second week of holidays and have to take her to school in Ballarat tomorrow where she will be back with mum.
Seems a lot safer to just leave all schools closed for an extra week.

 

[Asapartyhat]

Amazing how much reclassification goes on with the Victorian and NSW case numbers .If WA ever gets a reclassification its always a plus one from an inconclusive test result a few months ago.

Reclassifying is really just shuffling deck chairs on the titanic at this point

Can't see Melbourne's restrictions being eased by 20 August.

Touch wood but at least we haven't popped over 300 yet, it's been a week since the hot spots got quarantined should see how we are tracking next week after the full lockdown.

People are still ******* dumb though, they should have locked down everywhere west of the yarra right at the start.

The lockdown on hotspots/restricted postcodes have been in effect for over 1 week and we don't seem to be seeing a decrease in cases.

Next week's figures will tell us whether a lockdown can be effective to suppress numbers once we see large community spread.

 

[Sterge]

wow that right hand, right on the money

That was the most logical thing to do. No point in bringing down the whole of Melbourne that's relatively clean with the virus infested North and West.

And it's still out that way most of the spread is, because they won't properly enforce the lockdown. Will eventually spread elsewhere because people from the west are ****ed
