4 new cases - probably a good result.
need numbers under 5 new cases a day for a week id say for it to be lifted.

A timeline of vaccine promises:

The short, confusing history of Australia’s shifting vaccination targets

Is Australia's slow vaccine rollout to blame for Victoria's latest lockdown? We've tracked more than a dozen targets, revisions and updates to the vaccine timetable.

I wonder if those complaining about the contact tracing are the same ones refusing to scan QR codes where ever they go

Yeh, like any system its only good if people use it. Complacency is a real issue one feels.

The beauty of this outbreak is vaccination numbers will drastically increase.

Should have been from 6pm

gotta be a numbers game with Victoria.

they have 27 people / km2

Nsw have 10, Qld 3, SA 2,

thats a pretty significant difference and surely largely explains the consistent bad luck?

No. Reckon Sydney and Melb densities far more relevant

The lockdown was working before it even started.

the additional factors, colder weather, humidity, and possible different patterns of family/work interactions.

47,000 tests. a new record. we are already on top of this.

despite what some sections of the media are saying about contact tracing, the efforts have been unbelievable. The evidence is the amount of exposure sites they have unearthed in such a short time.

Can you imagine the volume of work and complexity ? Unreal.

I could've posted an alternate chart from lefty favourite the NY Times which shows us quite a bit higher in the rankings, ahead of e.g. New Zealand, at more than 10% rather than the 2% frequently cited here.

It's ramping up and this outbreak will help it along.

Knock me over with a feather we are outdoing the Worlds Best Leader rollout?

As mentioned, the woolies receipts were wrong. Both the Epping and Epping North stores say "Epping Woolworths".

Any chance of asking the doofus ...hey what was the address of the supermarket. Never occurred to anyone in the nations best contact testing team that big retailers can have more than store per suburb.

Not sure that falls under the definition of luck?

"success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions."

 

[22nd Man]

Why do you say that?, the new Victorian mandatory QR registration comes into effect tomorrow

So when I go to the pub tonight I will be sure to check in.

If I scan am I allowed to complain?

 

[22nd Man]

They didn't use receipts. They used internet banking transactions. I assume the person said Epping Woolworths and thats also what was stated on the IB transaction.

Blame the Banks. Make them pay.

A reminder Golden Gladys’ contact team never even found the ‘patient zero’ or the ‘missing link’ a couple of times.
There’s a certain amount of luck to this once there is a hotel quarantine breech. Another reminder that this breech was imported from South Australia.
Right now we’ve had very bad luck unfortunately.

Its like we spin the roulette wheel and 00 keeps coming up.

 

[22nd Man]

and I suppose the only outcome, is two really clean woolies in Epping?

hardly a disaster.

the outcome is a 7 day lockdown. Amazed how many think the contact testing team is killing it yet forgive this stuff up. At that stage they only had the one case. Merlino himself could have got on the phone.

 

[Baloo]

If I scan am I allowed to complain?

You strike me as someone that doesn't need permission to complain, so complain away.

you obviously missed the sarcasm in my last post.
if a person says they went to Epping Woolies, and a receipt says they went to Epping Woolies you think think the tracing team has stuffed up because they thought the person went to Epping Woolies?

Its a hard job. Not quite astrophysics hard but pretty hard.

It appears different standards are applied to different gov'ts. The Feds are a disaster because the Vaccine rollout is slow and no national quarantine (and these are legitimate gripes which hopefully cost Morrison his job) but the Vic gov't has just been unlucky (esp unlucky for all those that died and all those businesses that have closed) and our contact tracing team does a *smile* unbelievable job.
