This is the most poorly worded poll question of all time.

I admit, I was starting to responsibly take advantage of restaurants opening up, but I’m pretty much back to staying at home except for essentials, exercise and study. Deliveroo can take my money for a bit longer.

No it hasnt changed my behaviour....once a c! always a c!. Ha ha!

Been isolating since March! I don’t want germs!!!

Masked up on 2 Uber rides. Gonna wear them most times I shop indoors (which isn’t much).

I've been tested for minor symptoms. Just to be sure.

It hasn’t changed my behaviour in the slightest. I’m still going out for essential travel so nothing has changed in that regard. I blame the Andrews government because their incompetence is becoming clear for all to see and I’ve been consistent with that from the word go

Hasn’t changed as my attitude is still the same from start. Stay home

Won’t go near halal areas thats for sure .

Everyone that voted yes, please explain why you ignored the Andrews governments health directions; yet seem perfectly happy to blame them for the new cases? Is it because of conflicting information published in the media?

No, as I have been maintaining social distancing and limiting my contacts and will continue to do so to protect not only myself but my patients and community.

Surge?! Irresponsible writing, start reporting on the important stuff-mortality rate going down, not “active cases” which is a rubbish, fear mongering stat... and I’m a lefty...

Mask wearing: when taking public transport or visiting shopping centers.

No remained cautious even when restrictions eased - which is what we’re all supposed to have done

Yes it has. I’m less likely to catch up for coffee with JcCusin23 now. It’s a shame, but you have to do what’s best for the community.

No. I've been in isolation 4months aside from urgent med appts. Looks like I'll have to remain this way now 😔

And with 44%saying no here is your reason for the spike. People are too stupid

Changed one thing bank card so I can tap instead of type..continue to distance and take precautions...

Voted no as I've continued to be cautious despite the positive results we were seeing a few weeks ago. Being a germaphobe helps too...

I’m continuing to be really careful. Planning for a longer period of not being able to get back to the office. These spikes are to be expected until we get a vaccine.

I voted no because I never stopped taking precautions. It was clear all along to anyone paying attention that there were still cases around in my area (Moreland) and the lack of care I was seeing in others in public spaces made me more concerned not less.

I’m continuing to follow the guidelines to protect my family and my students. I’m not the expert so I’ll do as I’m told in this case. 🤞

Live: NSW Now: Prices soared as the coronavirus pandemic hit, consumer group findsMORNING BRIEFING: Choice found retailers preyed on consumer fears they would lose access to food by increasing the price of white goods and essential items as the coronavirus crisis hit Australia. Who’d have thought? online retailers were milking those on Jobseeker n Jobkeeper to make fat profit So ASX listed companies reported 12% more sales This is disgraceful to see what was felt now borne out that prices were indeed higher. Funny too that there were no sales in supermarkets or many other shops. Except these companies make so much profit, year after year. So I won’t spend.

Coronavirus updates LIVE: Victoria records 20 new COVID-19 cases; Gladys Berejiklian says NSW border unlikely to close as Australian death toll stands at 103BREAKING: A man in his 80s has died overnight in Victoria from COVID-19. His death is the first in many weeks, bringing the state’s total to 20 and the national toll to 103, reports rachael_dexter. rachael_dexter Of course any death is sad but really once you hit 80 in Australia you are entering “borrowed” time as you are past the average life expectancy. Blaming COVID is just fear mongering. Before COVID he would have just died of “old age”. Now it seems a life “unnecessarily cut short” rachael_dexter Cheers Daniel ... this is on you 👎
