Coronavirus

How good are Victoria’s numbers? Maybe our leaders do know what they were doing..
Reckon your gilding the lily a bit there oldie. We’re doing well at the moment but they’ve made plenty of blues as evidenced by the numbers since the start of the pandemic.

But to their credit they have learnt and improved the processes.

No doubt mistakes were made early in Vic Riddles particularly in hotel quarantine but mistakes are still being made in HQ by every state in Australia. It’s arguably worse now that breeches are still occurring.
When going through a pandemic such as this everyone is going through it for the first time. All states & countries have struggled at times. There’s no rule book for this but so long as we are learning what works over time then that’s good. As you say we are clearly learning.

7 day average now sits at 25. They're not exactly getting on top of it quickly. 5 people in ICU apparently.

The mixed messaging from Gladys is crazy. Don't go shopping, but you can if you want to. Businesses can decide whether they consider themselves to be "essential". And she just walks away without answering any difficult questions. She gets such a free ride in the media.

Its also quite ridiculous that Step 1 of Morrison's covid plan is to get the country vaccinated. Well no *smile* sherlock, that's what we've been complaining about for the last 6 months!
Maybe it’s a strategy designed to get more people vaccinated? Cases increase, people get scared, vaccinations increase? It’s inspired really.
 
Good in-depth piece looking at where we are from many different angles. In summary, despite that natural advantage we has early on by being an island, we've managed to *smile* it up.

 
World on the brink of a third(?)/fourth(?)/fifth(?) wave.

Morrison’s 4 point plan is another "clayton's" plan that was born from his office of amateur spin doctors. without any deadline dates to back it up, it’s just another plan with no substance. This is just more garbage from a PM that has no idea what he’s doing.

Announced this arvo, Vic's will likely have to mask up for years to come.

Could be forever!

as a society, we need to accept that masks should be here for good. even when the COVID threat is over, it will help us fight the flu in winter.

Yep agreed. It was a plan without any detail, so therefore it was just words. No plan included.

Its like an ASX company coming out with their forecasts. "We are aiming to make some money this year", analyst "ok, so whats your target", "well thats for me to know, and you to find out in hindsight".
