Vaccination is key. So what do the Gov do? Announce they are stopping the AZ vaccine in favour of Moderna. Once that snippet of info is out in social media land with no context, even semi-rational people might decide not to get the AZ and wait.

It, and Morrison are an unmitigated disaster.
Now the owner of the dry cleaner in Sandringham has tested positive as well. That’s the start of the local cases. The owners family have tested negative, so let’s hope we’re not off to the races again but sounds like the employee has moved around extensively whilst infectious - just like Whittlesea. Delta strain again.

Said he lives alone which may well be a COVId first, all our vic cases seem to live in share houses or extended families.
Any idea how the yanks turned around from large pockets of anti containment measures to lining up for a vaccine like sheep headed to the dip? Simply a change in Whithouse occupant?
So they should have kept that quiet? Should have stuck with AZ? Damned either way it would seem.
Virtually every state 1) acquired the necessary doses they needed via the Feds 2) via Federal protocols established broad based distribution models that included hubs, chemists, pop up sites, GP’s… you name it and 3) went on an advertising and promotion blitz to educate people about its importance. Even sports franchises advertise at stadiums to their fan bases about the importance.
“Don’t be a Pussy. Put a Tiger in your tank. Vaccinate.”
Pretty *** simple. But of course you can’t even get to first base when your **** federal government can’t get adequate supplies despite the country even being an en masse producer ie the AZ production facility here in Melbourne.

I do have faith she will be able to contain it.
Will be interesting to see how NSW deal with this & if a lockdown is used. They have the best contract tracing methods.
If they contain it & without a lockdown, nothing but praise for her. Dont care about the political party she's from but many do.
Yep. At least she doesn't jump at shadows like our clowns do.
I agree. If she can contain it power to her. Shame its in Melbourne & NZ already though.
Yeah. Worried for more lockdowns here. I dont have any faith in the clowns (Im keeping it nice) in Vic. Dont trust anything they say, compulsive liars. Just my view.
I know many disagree, Scomo, Dan, Gladys, & other key figures in this country. Views differ but I do look at what she has achieved during this whole pandemic. Its awesome. All politics aside.
Sadly saw 2 major business going/gone near were I live. Sad. Both been around 20+ years. If she can show the way through it, untouchable. Agree power to her!
Do they really?
This guy had got tested here, got positive result, and primary contacts had been traced,
yet as of this morning, he had not been contacted by the NSW contact tracers even though he was at the super spreader event that was all over the news, last weekend
I'm not comparing what they do, or how better or worse they are in NSW compared to here, just that just because they keep telling everyone they're the best, doesn't mean they are.
I do really hope they get on top of it, and soon
I go to the office 1 day a week, and get sick of the deafening silence and ghost town around me.
Im self employed in burbs but wife now refuses to go in. Was told 1 day a week too, but asked to stay home. Said ok.
Heard a lady on radio (mornington) who goes into the city on weekends. Claimed its got a bad uncomfortable feeling to it now. A lot of graffiti. Many small business shut or just holding on. Many not happy. (Collins / Bourke - central)
Is that true? has that been your experience?
Of course it does. But I’m betting London to a brick, that yet again, another unvaccinated 60+ person is at the centre of this dry cleaning cluster.
Definitely bad. It's like a ghetto. I work at Docklands near the Dump and sad to see how many takeaways have emptied out. Driving through Carlton and Fitzroy also. All those FOR SALE signs remind me of the early 90s recession times.
