Here's what we learnt from the latest Daniel Andrews coronavirus briefing

He said the rate of new cases was "not good enough", but added that the state had managed to avert an "exponential increase" in new cases.

"If we hadn't stabilised these numbers, we would have seen thousands of cases per day, and there are estimates that we've averted 20,000 or more cases by virtue of the stage 3 restrictions — but that hasn't been enough," he said. "We can't have 500 cases every single day, and the associated morbidity, hospitalisation, intensive care requirements and debts that are associated with that number, every day."stage 4 restrictionsMr Andrews said while the state was starting to see comparatively fewer new cases, the impact of stage 4 would not be reflected in new case numbers "for a little while".

"Stage 4 restrictions will make a difference, but we won't see them for another week or more," Professor Sutton added.Dr Sutton was asked by a reporter about claims that healthcare workers in the state areMr Andrews insisted there were "adequate supplies" of PPE in the state, saying Victoria had 68 million gloves, 19 million surgical masks and 2 million face shields.

He gave credit to people in the state's healthcare system who worked "incredibly hard" to buy the PPE for the state despite high global demand.What you need to know about coronavirus:

Doesn't he realise that not many people trust him anymore best thing for his party is to stand down or everything will be lost next election

You have to admire Andrews for being 100% consistent with his press conferences.

Meanwhile the support for Dan is increasing.

Graph still vertical.

🤚🤚 Danke Fuhrer !!

Who will bear responsibility for these innocent victims of Wuhan pneumonia virus? !

He can’t answer questions

So masks aren't working and I'll hedge my bets on getting the virus v being so overwhelmed my my poor mental health because i can't even go for a walk without a mask and ending it all

Why does he always look furtive ? Like he’s dodging something .

What is the CCP premier?

I very much doubt Victorians will learn a single thing.

Latest interview with Dr. Li-Meng Yan, more detail about the coronavirus cover-up by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

That a significant percentage of journalists are incapable of reading the room and self reflection.

Malcolm Tucker summed it up nicely.

Why ban WeChat and TikTok? In China, CCP use them to monitor Chinese people, when someone says things against the government in WeChat the police knows it immediately; Overseas, they are used as spy tools

Nothing 😫😩

i support your premier DanielAndrewsMP

I am absolutly horrified learning the Premier listing PPE equipment for health care workers (1000 infected in Victoria!!!!): how could he still thinks surgical masks are adequate for doctors and nurses in those dangerous circumstances... This is bordering on the criminal

I used to like him but he needs to resign now

We know 2021 is a write off before stage 4,For those with loved ones stuck overseas.I do not know another country beside China that stops own citizens from returning home again! National cabinet has stopped international flights to Melb unit Oct 24!

That he’s an Australian sellout?

The restrictions are nothing compared to the absolute power that the Biosecurity Act confers upon the Morrison government.
