BREAKING: Another 19 Victorians have lost their lives to COVID-19, in the state’s new deadliest day of the pandemic. A further 322 cases of the virus have also been recorded.

Dr Coatsworth said he was not optimistic about big events such as the Melbourne Cup being held in the state this year, although it would ultimately be a matter for the state government's health authorities."I did go to the Melbourne Cup once and it would be highly challenging to regulate the number of people there, and understand who actually turned up to an event like that, which would be critical for contact tracing," he said.

"I think there probably is enough gear out there, but at times, there'll be just little problems with the production line where they don't quite get to where they need to get to. You know, you have to do something in a hurry and where's the mask, where's the gear, where's the box?" he told ABC Radio National.

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.

Misleading headline died with it is the correct headline. You make it out as they were totally healthy people with long lives ahead of them but were struck down and died only because of it. Click bait

Interesting how the media manipulates facts through emphases! The tragically high number of deaths (due to rising past cases), takes precedence in the headline. Yet, the diminishing number of cases which could decrease future deaths, comes second. Tragedy sells better than Hope?

Ducey with unemployment at 10% + shouldn’t any Australian over 65 yo be eligible for a pensioner, would cut the unemployment rate, older people won’t get work anyway, just saying 👍 AlboMP PeterDutton_MP PaulineHansonOz ScottMorrisonMP HumanHeadline thelizhayes

A further 322 Victorians have gained immunity from COVID.

how many people have died of pneumonia?

Did they die of covid or with covid?

We should be noting that the deaths are a result of people getting about spreading the virus. Shame on them.

So, the lockdown is working then. Deaths are a lagging effect, so an increase is entirely expected.

Circa 130-140,000 people die each year in Australia. Tell us about those and repeat it every hour. Enough hysteria let’s deal in pragmatic facts and science.

This is what Brett Sutton warned about,the deaths would increase about 10 days after the high positive numbers.Too many feel ok and forget they shed the virus to others anyway.

4 in a row of falling cases, deaths will rise for a week or two
