Victorian Covid Outbreak 2021

[HTT]

Any thoughts on whether the outdoor mask mandate will be lifted this week?

If numbers like this continue I reckon it'll be a pretty significant easing announced on Wednesday

The NSW outbreak didn't inconvenience the entire state. I'll take the NSW approach, thanks.

Inconvenience being a massive understatement if you run a small business, have school aged kids or are a casual worker.

"Incovenience" perhaps if you are a single person with a B/S public service job and live in Brunswick.

Of course not.. the masks arent to stop the spread of covid directly.. they are a reminder to be afraid and take it seriously.

I heard next week you might be able to choose a "COVID will kill you" t-shirt as an alternative.

I took Jeroen's advice today. Someone sneezed at Coles so I called the cops.

Great point. Definitely didn't mean to downplay the serious effects it has on people.

Funny guy.

I'd like to see the number of Service Victoria checkins daily as well. Pretty key figure and hope they're all over it but hearing very little.

Good vax numbers presumably.. other interesting stat would be what percentage of capacity that is..

Not sure what's sadder--- using hashtags on BigFooty

Or complaining about the education of Victorian students when everything has been done to provide them with a high quality remote learning experience and back on site ASAP despite the current restrictions. The push to place young people back into schools will do more mental health damage to students than a few weeks of remote learning.

Hows that campaigner Jeroen? If you see somebody with a sniffle, remind them to get tested, how about mind your own business?

In case anyone is confused about the need for outdoor masks:

and in reminding them, put yourself at risk.

Lol. Asked if there had been community transmission occurring outdoors. Lists several indoor sites as his answer. Rightio.

Or just give them a wide berth.

Oh so Jeroen is the target this week? Good to know.

It was only one question, not sure that makes him a target. More of a pin up boy really.

What’s going on with this Southbank building today and why has it caused such negativity ?

What’s going on with this Southbank building today and why has it caused such negativity ?

One of the cases they were investigating lives in a Southbank townhouse complex, they have (apparently) locked it down and are testing everyone.

As for causing negativity, well..........people can be kinda pathetic as we have seen in the last year and a half.

They've locked the whole complex down?

That is what has been posted on the Melbourne subreddit, which is usually pretty good - but haven't seen it reported elsewhere.

How lovely that in 2021 people can be held captive in their own homes because of a virus, Victoria, the place to be.

That's what quarantining as a close contact is.
You'll find every state does the exact same thing.

That can happen basically everywhere in the world if the Government wants.

Imagine making that decision, how hard it must be.

We will move to the restrictions regional Victoria have this week, whether that’s significant enough not sure.

 

[Del203211]

They are talking about afl crowds today for vic. Can only see Geelong hosting. But hoping for the best.

 

[The 747]

Apparently not locked down in Southbank, just door knocking and testing.
