Let's just wait and see the gradual and continued increase in Aged Care related COVID cases and deaths with this incentive.

So is anyone going to ask if they had any previous health issues or is everyone going to expect these officials or doctors can just right covid 19 on every single patient that passes away when will the Real Stats Be Shown its like no one passes away from any other illness

Patriots are in control

Hasn’t he stepped down yet?

Murdoch media needs to stop being complicit with dividing Australians on how to deal with this pandemic and climatechange. You all won't be remembered well in history.

I just want to thank the Premier for the outstanding job he is doing to protect Victoria. His many teams all have the same goal and that is to drive these high numbers down. It is the stupid people who are not adhering to the rules that have made this second wave much worse!

People need to know the truth about virus Why none of the CCP officers gets the virus? Because they used Hydroxy chloroquine in December 2019 and controlled all the media and WHO to lie to the world saying Hydroxy is no use at all. Crime against humanity!

Dan Andrews is now fit to run for the Lebanese presidency !

Everyone's so fixated on the dead. What about the LIVING? Millions more worldwide are facing a bleak future because of lost businesses, jobs, spikes in mental health issues, domestic violence & suicides - all thanks to lockdowns. Dead is dead. Meanwhile, the living must press on.

The darkest day we didn’t have to have. ResignDanielAndrews

We know that you and team have bn doing all that you can within your natural human wisdom. Some of us (christians) are also aware that it’s more than just an invisible contagious virus that is at work. So we are also doing what we can within our level of spiritual faith to PRAY✝️

And 10 are related to Aged Care which is the Federal Governments Responsibility!

How old and what did they die of? If they caught the seasonal flu, would it have been the same result?

Daniel Andrews is doing the best thing is possible in disaster that was created by negligence of Morrison. If all the world doctors and scientists can’t do anything how we can expect from Andrews to do miracle when he doesn’t have support from government, only criticism from Sky

bill_dobell Give us a frigging break for heavens sake.Bloody Andrews has been on for a frigging hour or so. Turned off ,and will do so every time he appears .One of the biggest turn off’s is questions cannot be heard.

why do you give this incompetent person air time, he should acceped he stuffed up and step down for someone who can fix this !!

DA stands on podium and says he is not that interested in yesterday’s numbers compared to today or what next week could be!!! BUT isn’t it because of the freaking numbers that we are in this lockdown. Give us some hope for goodness sake.

Just rolls out the stats. Just numbers. States the mandatory condolences and heart felt wishes to those suffering families. Then just carries on. Nothing to see here. 17 people died in 24 hours. 200 people in total that we know of. When is he and his government answerable?

I think you’ll find the darkest day was when Dan failed to appoint adequate hotel security, today is just a consequence.

The hcq + zinc protocol is looking pretty good right now. But I guess that would mean the gov actually wants to save lives and end this pandemic...

If, for some reason, I'm fined, I'll forward the fine to the office of DanielAndrewsMP.

The gov should be giving us info about comorbidities of those who are listed as Covid death. Why neither the opposition nor the media are asking for this very important information?

We want proof cos you all have lied through your teeth over and over. Don't believe anything you spew on us anymore! FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS FAKE NEWS!!

Is there a better time to start prescribing HCQ?

This is, sadly, an expected statistic. Better even than expected. More telling is the much lower new case figure. DanielAndrewsMP’s commitment and leadership is yielding dividends.

Dan Andrews must announce his resignation immediately But he won't...
