A leading epidemiologist has warned Victorians should temper their expectations for increased freedoms as long as case numbers continue to grow, ahead of the state government's roadmap release.
"It'll be a meaningful document and it'll give people a really clear sense of what we're working towards," Mr Andrews said. Professor Baxter said the fatigue of length restrictions may have some expecting far more than the roadmap will provide. While New South Wales has increased freedoms for fully vaccinated people, Professor Baxter said full vaccination is not an immediate solution to growing case numbers.
"I would say that almost certainly they'll give something, so they'll have some sort of relaxation," Professor Baxter said.was an example of a small trade off.
Why do you continue to platform these people with no interrogation?

Maybe they should ask who funds her? This is the first question and a disclosure piece. But any decent journalist would know that right? It’s ok to be funded, just important to under stand the bias.
Once again Victorians lied to and bullied by a totalitarian government who refuse to properly fund mental health. As FionaPattenMLC pointed out in parliament mental health workers paid less than those managing DanielAndrewsMP social media image
This is terrible journalism. You’re doing the country a disservice with these types of articles
Leading means nobody
These people should be held to account when this 911 version 02 is over. For the death and harm to our people and our economy. There in no truth in our media any more, just a narrative of fear and lies to take away freedoms and human rights.
I can’t bear to hear this woman’s negativity. She might as well say that at 100% vaxxed it’s still dangerous to open up
Ugh, we’re going to have too much influence from the COVIDzero Burnet Institute. So rather than looking at hospital capacity in directing the roadmap - it will be all about aiming for the unachievable COVIDzero again☹️
The harsh restrictions are counter-productive as people aren’t following the rules anymore. We need sensible and significant easing for the fully vaccinated. Also, this woman is sitting in Canada which opened at a fraction of our vaccination rates. She’s a political grifter.
Don't need to be an expert to know that while there are people willing to put their own and family's health, life and livelihood at risk, then lie about where they've been, don't care if the numbers go up. With some it's not just their wants but deliberate because of politics.
How many of these epidemiologists are there ? Surely prior to Covid most were out of a job ! In fact I am not sure what and where they were learning but it seems they all learnt something different !
Leading epidemiologist focused on cases numbers only. It would be helpful if she presented the numbers for self harm, failed suicide attempts, numbers of businesses that will never reopen, the number who are unable to afford food for their families. COVID impact - more than cases
Why do you keep putting forward views of zero Covid extremists and failed epidemiologists who have been wrong every single time. Do better, ABC.
I have died 3x over according to ABC 'experts'
Leading doomsdayer
Its look like every doctor, scientist and journalist is expert on covid 19,ppl are confused who they should listen and believe. Its so much contradict info ppl just choose according to there own believes.
Sack Dan Andrews
How about you interview a leading societal behavioural psychologist on the impact of these lockdowns and why the restrictions need to be removed.
These epidemiologist really no better than the immigrant refugee taxi drivers .... A roadmap out , they are often clueless , take there microscope away , they have blurred vision. Take a taxi drivers GPS away , left stranded , can't use common sense , won't ask and won't listen
Another nobody government propaganda pusher
Why there are so many “leading” epidemiologist show up out of nowhere?
Why is enenbee supporting lockdown in Victoria? She has come out of the woodwork to get her 15 mins of fame! But her comments are far from proportionate! Compare Melbourne to the rest of aust and ask yourself why only Melbourne! Covid ain’t going away!! No incentive if dbl vacc!
Instead of pitching zerocovid extremists, look at Europe. But it takes effort to do good journalism and not push relentlessly a single hurtful narrative.
I think we should lock up epidemiologists instead of the people.
Victorians couldn’t give a rats arse what these “medical experts” say anymore. Enough is enough - 80% aged 70+ are now vaccinated and there are millions of doses sitting to be taken up by others - if they refuse bad luck! Open the fuck up and let us live ..
Getting sick of all the opinions, just hoping the Victorian Government balances the overall life of Victorians which it has shown it cannot do. End the lockdowns
Baxter has already shown with her massive hypocrisy this week that politics motivates her just as much as science. So why should anyone listen?
Ah, yet another ‘leading’ epidemiologist. Why is every epidemiologist who supports permanent and brutal lockdowns despite the widespread and manifest harm they cause always ‘leading’? Aren’t there any mediocre scientists just carefully choosing their inputs into their models?
Heard from enough epidemiologists in the last two years. Let’s hear from mental health experts & community leaders.
Lowdowns work
Now do nsw
There is a bigger parasite than Covid in Victoristan. And it’s name is Donkey Dan!
Oh. Ita ButtNose' LNP version of the ABC had to dig up another Victoria negative statement... which has to be read to discover head line largely irrelevant. Ooohhh. Please give us a new STABLE government WITHOUT independants instability so they can wash the dirt out of the ABC.
Sixth Wave
What does 'leading' mean? Is there a less ambiguous word? Should we assume it's just meaningless padding for hyperbolic effect? Or maybe it means we're being led down the proverbial garden path for the sake of hyping someone's idea of a good quote?
This epidemiologist supported playground closures not because of any proof that they contributed to spread but because it 'sent a powerful message to the community.' Not credible.
“In Aug, Prof. Baxter warned any lessening of restrictions would see case numbers grow tenfold from 70 a day to 700 a day. Less than one month on, Victoria is recording a daily case total of over 500.” Incompetence all around: government, opposition, media and epidemiologists.
could they weigh in less? it’s getting wearisome
Astrologists epidemiologists. I can't think of a more discredited profession. A collection of dropkicks that couldn't make it in finance .
Gosh thank goodness Victoria is the only State Covid decided to lay camp and our intrepid media on hand to bring in the leading experts.
stop giving these shameless attention seekers so much airtime
Experimental vaccines are not always the answer.
Lololllol
Victorians are all about tempering expectations with noplandan
