Health Authorities knew about a positive coronavirus case in the towers more than two months before the nine towers were locked down. 9News

9News emailed the DHHS on July 6 to confirm information there were at least two known COVID-19 cases living at each of the Richmond and Carlton sites.Since July 6, I have made a point of asking about infections in the Richmond and Carlton public housing towers at every coronavirus press conference I have attended.

Premier Daniel Andrews and Housing Minister Richard Wynne labelled public housing tenants as the state's most vulnerable people. If "throwing everything at it" includes Melburnians suffering another six weeks without seeing family, working and learning from home, it must also include honest and accurate public health information.Today

A detailed breakdown of infection numbers in each of Melbourne's 44 public housing towers is yet to be made available, despite being promised during Sunday's press conference by Prof. Sutton.The question is, who dropped the ball?"There have been a number of individual cases in public housing properties since the start of this pandemic. As single cases they are no different than any other residential property," the statement read.

Always leads back to negligence and cost cutting from a government department🤬 then comes the coverup!

Media sensationalism.......

What a crock of shit

And over at Nth Melb it took a visit by nurses to fix a broken tower lift. 'On Wednesday, we began at the North Melbourne towers. The lift in the first one was broken.. by the time we'd finished there, the lift was fixed.'

Wow, we had one shot to get this in control- we couldn't afford for anybody to drop the ball- but balls are dropping everywhere. It's like puberty in here.

Yet they did nothing and what’s the point talking now ?

If you don’t show this ‘evidence’ you speak of, it doesn’t exist. More shit from Costellos propaganda bin.

Quick increase of COVID-19 cases in NSW a concern for health authorities | Sky News AustraliaAMA President Dr Tony Bartone says the quick increase of COVID-19 cases in Sydney is a significant concern for health authorities.\n\nThree household contacts of a man who attended a Sydney pub has tested positive to coronavirus, triggering fears of large-scale community transmission in NSW. \n\nTwo patrons who visited the Crossroads Hotel in Casula have been diagnosed after attending the venue last Friday night. \n\nThe recent outbreaks in NSW pose a worry considering the growing number of coronavirus cases in Victoria, with over 500 new cases appearing over the weekend alone. \n\nDr Bartone said abiding by the guidelines and measures which saw the nation through the first wave was the best way Australians could go about fighting the spread of the deadly virus while awaiting a possible vaccine. \n\n “Regardless of the development and time frame of the vaccine, we’re going to have to learn to live with COVID-19 in our community for many, many months and perhaps the best part of a year or more before the whole community can be immunised against COVID-19,” he said. \n\n“We’ve got to learn to live with the virus, respect its virulence, its power, its sneakiness, and never forget those key measures and guidelines which have gotten us through the first wave.”\n More leftist hype porn for mass consumption. And yet, the ignaoramii you employ, namely .rowandean & .theboltreport maintain its all a hoax. I'll follow experience & science over non substantiated propaganda any day covid19 Bolt Blot Masks now... before lockdown... 🤞🏼
