The peak body representing doctors is pushing for a plan that would see the state in lockdown until November to avoid the public health system being 'saturated'.

The Victorian branch of the Australian Medical Association is calling for COVID-19 restrictions to remain unchanged until two weeks after 80 per cent of people aged over 12 years are fully vaccinated, labelling any other approach "reckless".

The organisation that represents doctors and medical students said the thousands of active COVID-19 cases were already putting unprecedented strain on the healthcare system. "That is the time to reassess the state's capacity to manage the inevitable cases of COVID-19 in the remaining 1.6 million unvaccinated Victorian citizens."The small changes flagged for the 70 per cent first-dose target include expanding the distance people in lockdown can travel from their home, from 5 kilometres up to 10km, and allowing an extra hour of exercise each day.

Premier Daniel Andrews has said a roadmap detailing steps out of lockdown over the next few months would be released this Sunday.

People r already flouting this lockdown. Call it fatigue or downright selfish this outbreak in VIC could hv been contained. The AMA should be directing their frustration at the gladyscluster in NSW seeding into VIC & the MurdochGutterMedia 4 pushing the anti lockdown narrative

Forcing people into a medical procedure where clinical trials are ongoing is reckless. People losing their jobs for being pro-choice is reckless. Segregating people from society is not only reckless but a calamity!

Yeah why don’t we keep lockdown forever so there is no state economy anymore and mental health is the new pandemic? Some people seem to be loving it and are weak and scared

AMA can get lost, they bounced around. We need to be released from lockdown for losts of reasons, mental health a main one. Most lockdown decisions are not about health but control....

Spouting about academic possibilities while millions of people’s jobs are lost, “reckless”

Don't stress AMA. We have booster shots coming. You can spread your anxiety over 12 booster shots. Good for your health.

Many have not worked out that “health” really is an all encompassing term. Health of people, health of economy and health of our environment are all intrinsically linked. Don’t have one, won’t have the other two. We will suffer more economic losses if we open up too soon.

How about demanding GPs be the ones to rollout the vaccines despite the evidence suggesting vax hubs were the most effective? Think that cost a few lives.

AMA continuing to undermine the vaccine rollout. They only have themselves to blame for lack of confidence in the whole process. Disgraceful.

Listening to doctors about economic management is reckless.

Northern Territory in '50-day race to freedom' as government unveils reopening planThe NT is aiming to have 80 per cent of its eligible population fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by early November. If it does, sweeping changes will be introduced as part of the territory's reopening plan to jurisdictions where the virus is present. Coercive vaccinations are a crime. The article gives no numbers for the population under 12 years. Therefore there is no way to judge just how misleading the 80% of eligibles can be as a proportion of actual population. Israel called. They suggest you learn a thing. Who cares about 'the eligible population'? It's the TOTAL population that counts.

Why Sydney's COVID-19 lockdown could end a week early for fully vaccinated peopleAn ABC analysis shows NSW could reach its target of fully vaccinating 70 per cent of its population aged 16 and above as early as October 8 — something that would see its COVID-19 lockdown lifted a week ahead of schedule. Because of living with COVID at all cost? If it wasn't because it will affect us all - most would say 'let it rip in Sydney' Living in one of those ‘LGAs of Concern’ I’m starting to wonder if the world outside my 5km radius travel restriction really exists. So this is my COVID Lockdown Lament.

Vaccines to be mandatory for high-risk workers in the NTAll workers across high-risk settings in the Northern Territory must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before the Territory will change its border policies, Chief Minister Michael Gunner says. Always a stick never a carrot huh. It’s the right goal but high risk workers are going to have more work to do with the coming exodus of anti vax brain poisoned colleagues, no replacements. If all we get is being called a hero, I’d like my AO soon thanks. Follow evidence-based medicine. Provide peer-reviewed literature evidences regarding the long-term genetic safety of vaccines that use Nucleic acid technology. The Nucleic acid technology vaccines such as DNA (e.g Astrazeneca), and Messenger RNA (e.g Pfizer and Moderna) vaccines
