The organisers of the BLM rally could think outside the box here and have different type of rally. Get all the people who want to march to register and then send them all an individual GPS spot all 4meters apart from each other and then have a drone video tape all the protesters.....but that would mean giving personal details to register

....... or the nsw govt could refer david dungays death to the dpp?
Seems a bit of a nobrainer to me
David dungay was killed in longbay 5 years ago. His family have been consistently requesting charges be laid against the blokes who killed him for 5 years pre-pandemic.
If your son was killed, would you pause your quest for justice for a pandemic?
Im not marching, but respect those that wish to.
Theyve said they wont march if the DPP investigates DDs death in custody.
I think that is exceptionally reasonable
And yeah, im going to the footy
Genuine question: has there been any confirmed cases of outdoor transmission if covid? Seems like if you can stay out of restaurants, bars, meatworks and agedcares, your pretty safe?

Maybe because there's supposedly "social distancing" at the footy, whereas not so much at a BLM Rally
I suspect Brodders' was a hypothetical, around the answer of footy being worth $1b and Black Lives being worth around $0.20?
but as an aside, credit to Ticketech ...... the redemption of club tix and the social distancing has been faultless.
'best available' even seems to mean the best seat available at the time.

Yeah really feel for them. They're doing their job trying to attend to infected people so it's up to the rest of us to do the right thing by them to drive the numbers down.414 active cases are health care workers.Tough job.
Yet the organisers are trying to ensure there is social distancing and mask wearing etc
That's what they said last time. Tough to chant slogans with a mask on. Hit and miss, like Sweden...
Every photo I've seen today of Paddy Gibson shows him without a mask and making no attempt to socially distance. Great example to his mates after all his words on being "responsible". Then a Green MP invites him into the NSW Parliament. The mind boggles.That's what they said last time. Tough to chant slogans with a mask on. Hit and miss, like Sweden...
Yes, it is a tough job and I have great respect for so many health workers, but we shouldn’t make the assumption that all of them have got it whilst working. Many of them have got it elsewhere and brought it to work. I say this not to blame them, because most would have been asymptomatic, but to show how easily this can happen.414 active cases are health care workers.
In hospitals in particular there have been very few staff actually infected in the hospital itself. Some but not many. Aged care is another story of course.
The really big issue is when a hospital staff member is found positive every staff member who has been in contact with that person has to be isolated and not working. That puts enormous pressure on staffing in hospitals.
If there are 400 or so active cases for health workers that means they are running at about 10% of all active cases, which would put them well over the odds proportionally right?
Health workers includes aged care workers and it’s really high in them.
I don’t know how many people in Victoria would be classed as Health workers but the public hospitals alone employ about 120,000 people which includes non medical staff of course. Add aged care, GP clinics, private hospitals, pathology etc and its a lot of people.
400 cases is a lot in one group but it’s a really big group
Today's update:
7 July: 102.29
8 July: 111.00
9 July: 123.57
10 July: 155.29

25 July: 365.14
26 July: 378.86
27 July: 415.57
28 July: 417.00
For those who like a visual representation, which is always good for a quick assessment, here's a graph:
Bit of a plateau last week and a higher plateau this week. Let's hope it goes down from here, the large number of infections reported on 22 July drops out of the 7 day trailing average tomorrow so we might see it go down. But the downward trend needs to be sustained.
I notice there are still no calls to stop large congregations of people, inside in shopping centres, at sporting events etc. Even in Victoria you can still go indoors with thousands of other people despite the infection rates, despite the data which tells us this is more easily transmitted indoors - just as long as you are consuming. But protest about black fellas being incarcerated and killed, outside, wearing masks - ooh no can't do that.

Theres not enough creativity in new normal.
encourage BLM protests to march through a KFC drivethru en route to a Westfield shopping centre
I wonder if the Liberal party in-breeding programs' marque stallion Michael Kroger
still owns half of Victorias private aged care facilities?

What to keep in mind when you look at Victoria's daily coronavirus numbers
Victorians watch for daily coronavirus numbers like we used to check the weather forecast. Here's how to read the figures and navigate the rollercoaster graphs.
Should start to see that 7 day moving average trend down. We are dropping off over 400 cases and only adding on 295 which is good news. Interesting to see if Sutton comments on the R number today, hopefully down below 1.
