Coronavirus

And I don't want to hear your sweeping bigotry. What if we both leave it out?
Understand that, but 80% first dose is the issue not the 2nd dose or boosters. Why are 1 in 5 not getting vaccinated? Do they not see the fatality numbers in NSW? Look at all of those that are over 70 with no vaccinations? We aren't seeing people die with vaccinations, but we are seeing daily deaths of over 70's of people who are unvaccinated.
Do they not get the 1 in 3 risk of dying if you are over 70?
Daniel Andrews answered (all) journalists questions today for 2 hours.
He did not dodge them or cut the presser short.
That's leadership.

Many of the 1 in 5 is because for the very old and frail there is too much risk in getting vaccinated. Specifically the already sick. For some of them, their immune systems are not capable of dealing with a vaccine so its safer to NOT give it to them. They're too compromised to be vaccinated. It'll kill them.
Of course Covid may kill them as well but that's what has to be weighed up.

Do people remember the Effective Reproductive Rate (reff)? It was talked about a lot last year.
VIC Reff Number the past 5 days: 1.60, 1.44, 1.29, 1.14 and today is 1.25.
So this (along with the high number of non-compliance) is what has triggered the lockdown extension and harsher restrictions.
The NSW Reff Number is 1.26 and are on track to reach 1,000 cases per day by the end of August.

Andrews was massively p!ssed off today. As angry as I've ever seen him.

don't forget the Greeks (proprietors and clientele) who don't think smoking rules apply to them
It's a discussion forum and I'll pot irresponsible behaviour when I feel like it.
Yeah the R number has to get below 1 doesn't it? That indicates that we are getting ahead of the virus?
1) personal choice? not sure if it is yet or ever will be compulsory.
2) because you are there to die from an existing illness, COIVD just got her/him earlier.
And one reporter got precious about him using the word shitty
many of us would use much harder terms!
Hahaha seriously? Wow.And one reporter got precious about him using the word shitty
Good work. Those who refuse to be vaccinated should be continually called out.
please.
Young as in school children and university students - definitely paid a price, and I say that was unnecessary for a lot of last year
Young as in young adults working in govt and big business, white collar work from home jobs, tech savvy, not so much
old people, esp widow/ers singles, sitting alone at home day after day woth shopping dropped on their doorstep by a neighbour - big price (and I say if given the choice they might have preferred the risk of covid than that hell)
Where I do agree with you Coburg is that far too much of the government "accounting" of lockdowns and other restrictions has been on the "benefit" and any mention of costs is limited to direct economic impacts. Virtually no consideration is given to the human downside. Same decisions might be arrived at but the CHO rarely mentions them as a factor.
Id be pissed off too if i was forced to front press conferences when i am dead.
Yes and No.
I would rather him say its one hour - you hyenas organise yourselves to ask the most important questions, draw marbles out of a hat if you have to.
And he spends an hour preparing for it and his media minders are costing us millions of dollars (refer Saturday Age)
That second hour might be better spent talking to his backbenchers who are the ones copping the feedback, or working with the CHO.
Leadership by press conference is not what I want.
That's their decision and they'll contract the virus at some point. What happens from there is in the lap of the gods.

Shitty doesn’t even get the *smile* filter on PRE. LOL.
Enraged Premier stuns Australia as he drops offensive word
The Victoria premier has unloaded on the family and guests at an allegedly illegal Melbourne engagement party, sparking an offensive outburst at Monday's press conference.
Don't have to wear the hair shirt Roar. snow trips are just one in a long line of sacrifices.
Minister for education J Merlino has been sidelined since he handed the baton back to Premier.
