Queensland has recorded no new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday, giving further indication the state may have avoided a major outbreak.
Queensland’s Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said on Friday that the weekend would be critical and that they would reassess the situation on Monday. Dr Young said in particular they could look at removing restrictions placed on southeast Queensland aged care centres if there were no new cases by Monday.
"Sadly, this great man succumbed to the plague of Athens in 430BC, with his society increasingly failing to abide by the laws at that time as the plague spread.Ms Mikakos said the last pandemic, the Spanish Flu, was 100 years ago and no one had any experience in responding to a health crisis of the magnitude the world is currently facing.
"It was work that needed to be done quickly and nimbly because the virus would not wait and no doubt mistakes were made along the way because humans are flawed, yet contagious viruses are unforgiving.
She is paid over 300k to make sound decisions! She was put to the test for probable one of the most critical health issues of our life time. The health minister failed. She oversaw the employment of a gaggle of security guards who were way out of their depth! Melbourne
If history has taught us anything, all she needs to do is smirk and say 'I don't hold a hose mate!' and 51% of Australians would love and support her.
That is not good enough. If you have any sense of decency Please Resign !!!!
She basically said she wasn’t responsible for those who didn’t do what they were required to do. If a CEO of a business said that they would rightly be told off by politicians
The old midnight Ouzo-fuelled, qualified “If” apology. Absolutely useless.
Misleading....
Shouldn’t have had that extra bottle of red by the sounds of it.
She has been bullied by the press. Journalists need to reflect on their own behaviour throughout this pandemic
Firstly: it's not'if?'; secondly, it's never been about 'you' personally, but rather the consequences of some very obvious and serious mistakes. Mr Andrews has asked Victorians to act responsibly; regrettably the government couldn't do what is being asked of us.
What a pithy disgrace at self preservation to remain on the gravy train. The irrefutable facts have forced her into this hollow apology. “It’s been handled perfectly”... sack/resign/investigate
It’s extraordinary, in that it’s not actually an apology, but more of an attack on those who have criticised her handling of the health portfolio.
This time, the dhhs has made a lots mistake for it so when the couple has tested positive then they should be get medical staff to go their home. but ,the couple call to dhhs (even they don’t know positive people’s phone number )that you can go to get a taxi to go medical place
Apology not accepted. You and your incompetent VIC ALP colleagues caused this second wave. You’re not up to it! Resign!
It was not enough, now....find those clearly breaching laws, arrest fine, then DEPORT to their country of origin. We can not tolerate this behaviour, if Australian....$20,000 fine and 6 months goal...!
Did she fake cry again
Spin spin spin
Oh ok as long as you are sorry. What are you sorry for ? The deaths? The suffering? The economic devastation? The destruction of lives? You are a clueless oxygen thief
I suppose the first step is admitting you have made a mistake, but that 'if' is typical politician-speak. Many would say 'it' was evidently not enough.
Vic government step up and apologise for things that are actually federal government responsibilities, while the federal government have done nothing but attack Victoria, call for everything to be reopened, & have taken responsibility for nothing, and their popularity soars. FFS.
Really Jenny, interesting comments at that time of the night... “sorry”,the state government’s priority was never health and when faced with the pandemic was found to be pathetically inadequate. Don’t use the excuse the last pandemic was 100 years ago don’t you ever forward plan
Hopefully PeterDutton_MP can do same in respect of RubyPrincess ! auspol
Not go enough, so many lives in disarray! That's the problem with arrogance, always thinking you can say sorry later & get away with it.
Once again the age cherry picks twitter for news. But wants to charge someone else to share it on a platform. Then advertise on the same platform to get it read.
She's just a puppet following orders. I'm no fan of the worthless Daniel Andrews but isn't the real culprit here the Chief Health Officer? If he really had 'expertise' he would/should have known immediately that casual labour workers in nursing homes would be a problem.
She needs to resign people are dying on a daily basis because of her incompetence
Bit late with the Mea Culpa
You can leave off the 'If'.
Comments show this is NOT the Australia I grew up in. I am ashamed of so many of you. Our society is being denigrated one trolll at a time.
resign
Did you actually read her thread? If so, your analytical/interpretation skills are sorely lacking.
Too late to apologise
Now fuck off & take Dan Andrews with you
If she resigns, we'll be in bigger trouble. Whoever replacement comes will make the same mistake, let's learn from this and fix this together.
“If” That’s the type of weak apology I get from my teenage kids. Mikakos has made blunder after blunder, not properly supporting the hard working healthcare community trying to keep Victorians safe. resign or get sacked in the inevitable inquiry.
She and DanielAndrewsMP should visit each individual family of the people they killed . Look into the eyes of the family members and lie to them about how it wasn't their fault.
They entire sh!t show run by DanielAndrewsMP needs to resign. They are all grossly incompetent and soley to blame for where we are at .... ResignDanielAndrews DanMadeDisaster
I feel for you Jenny. And realise that you are trying to take responsibility so Thank You. But saying 'IF it wasn't enough?' It obviously wasn't how can you suggest anything different? Was it your fault? Are you responsible for hotel quarantine?
Words are cheap...... Anyone can apologise and say they are sorry. But at the end of they day the question for JennyMikakos is: “What are you going to DO to rectify the mistakes made”
OK, we have a confession, now let’s get the trials started.
If that’s an apology we’ll, strike me down with a hammer. She can resign tomorrow if she likes or front the media and make the apology
Click bait, not an apology, rubbish journalism.
That’s not an apology.If she had said “I wasn’t enough” it would have been,but the inclusion of “If” makes this meaningless.Imagine how the families of those who have died feel about this lack of ownership.
Now resign.
If she's so sorry then what is she going to do to make it right? Saying sorry is the first step, but it needs to be followed up with further action.
Hero Dr Li-Meng Yan: Why none of the Chinese communist party gets the virus? Coz they've been using Hydroxychloroquine since dec 2019 n controlled MSM and WHO to lie to the world saying HCQ is no use at all. Crime against humanity! HCQW0RKS
Apologising for her incompetence? For the incompetence of Andrews government? Well, COVID is just the top of the sh1t pile.
