Five months on from the first coronavirus death in Australia, it takes just nine days for the nation's toll to increase from 200 to 300, with the large majority of deaths linked to the outbreak in Victoria.

From May 23, there were no coronavirus deaths until a Victorian man aged in his 80s died on June 24, which marked the beginning of dozens of deaths in Victoria.

Australia's Deputy Chief Medical Officer Nick Coatsworth yesterday said Australia's mortality rate was good compared to other countries, with the quality of the Australian system and more knowledge of the disease and treatment working in the country's favour. "The capacity of Australia's health system, including Victoria's health system at the moment, to manage even the number of COVID-19 cases in Victoria… is sufficient. People have access to the care when they need it."

"It appears we're on the plateau. We're looking for the inflection point that tells Victorians that their efforts are being rewarded. That we see numbers going down. And we haven't seen that yet. But I have no doubt we will see it," he said.

Most of them died in age care homes. Of course it’s always sad when people in their 90s and late 80s with severe underlying conditions die but this is to be expected and it is not worth shutting down the state over ruining millions of young lives. End this ridiculous lockdown.

we need to blame the federal government for not closing the international borders in time..still they refuse to close it..lol..we need to learn to sacrifice a few morons now touring the world for the greater benefit of Australian people.

With Victoria accounting for 80% of all deaths, and rising fast.......What a massive fuck up.

All thanks to resignDanAndrews & his commie footsoldiers deliberately spreading COVID19 across Australia. Pure f🤬cking EVIL!!

Another milestone for COVIDkillerDAN

Charting the pandemic: Record day for deaths, but case growth rate continues to slideit was only last weekend that Australia's pandemic death toll topped 200. Just heartbreaking to see 17 deaths. Do the right thing and stay at home people. The graph says it all.... And yet whilst there is proof early intervention with already approved drugs lowers the body count significantly, it doesn't get a look in... Stupidity reigns supreme. Both the andrews govt and their abc deny the proof
