Victorians are nervously awaiting today's COVID-19 case numbers after the cluster in Melbourne's northern suburbs spread to six households. It comes just days before Premier Daniel Andrews is expected to announce further easing of restrictions. Follow live.

Good morning Lucy! Today in Melbourne I will be taking my son to see his grandparents in a park that fits in both our radiuses because yesterday was his first birthday and due to Covid, they have seen him more on video calls than in person! It’s not the big first birthday bash we had hoped for him, but he still gets to see some family!Happy birthday, little fella! And congratulations to you, L, on making it through baby's first year.

Today I'm going to go for a bike ride with my amazing brother for the first time in four months, now that our radius overlaps. Rain or shine!Good morning Lucy, A big thank you to the wonderful blog and the people who sent their messages of positivity yesterday after I wrote in feeling quite low.Hopefully today will be a better day for us all.Pretty Low, is that you? Always a pleasure to share messages of support and love from other readers. Hope you're feeling a bit better today.

A chance for 'Denial' Andrews and 'Lying' Sutton to lock up Melbourne. Sure they feel good about themselves having been the cause for Melbourne's second wave mayhem.

PCR tests are not 100% active, how many ppl are in Hospital?, How many pls are actually sick?, that's what we should be looking at. Stop the scare campaign, 99% recovery rate for Covid COVID19Victoria Covid19VicData COVIDVIC19 springst

Why is the ABC having sensationalistic nonsense headlines? There's no advertising revenue, so why the need for click bait? Already more than 10% of the people asked to get tested from this 'outbreak' have all come back negative.

Lock down, DictatorDan, what are you waiting for?

Diversity makes us stronger. 🤔

We will probably need private security for this. Because we couldn't get them a gig at the Cox Plate! lol disasterdan making Trump look competent! lol And Jeff Kennett look like a hippie! lol

When is the Andrews Mob going to get this right, different case managers for the one group.

i don't understand how there is 'confusion' over isolating nearly 9 months into a pandemic? the information is given out in over 50 languages, is repeated ad nauseam daily - when will individuals finally take responsibility for their actions?

Same suburbs again and again . Ring fence multicultural communities please .

Cases mean nothing. What’s the mortality rate.

Victoria's response to COVID must be 'laughed at across the world' | Sky News AustraliaMelbourne GP Dr Stacey Harris says the Victorian government’s handling of COVID-19 has became a game, but it’s not a game, “we’re talking about people’s lives”. \n\nHer comments come regarding Victoria’s strict lockdown and the recent situation in South Australia, where four babies died of heart conditions because their state wasn’t decked with sufficient equipment and they couldn’t be transferred to Melbourne for treatment due to the COVID-19 crisis. \n\n“How are we still here talking about this? Why is that a government decision anyway? We have strategies in place, PPE, everyone’s equipped to handle those babies,” Ms Harris said. \n\n“We’re in Melbourne, we’re not in a third world country. I feel like it’s all criminal, what’s happened to these dear babies.\n\n“And yet here we are, in lockdown still.\n\n“If we had good contact tracing, and they were confident in that regard, why aren’t we open, but to me, it was an elimination strategy and then a suppression strategy and that’s where it’s become a game, and it’s not a game, we’re talking about people’s lives.\n\n“It’s criminal, I’ll call it what it is, it’s criminal what’s been happening.\n\n“I just so upset for these people who have lost their lives, lost their businesses, lost their livelihoods over such small cases.\n\n“We must be laughed at across the world, what’s happening in Victoria.”\n So he support Victoria government 😉 Meanwhile Ireland are copying the Victorian Government's lockdown. World's best practice. Australia has had 27,000 infections total, including from Victoria. That's a drop in the ocean compared to what most others are facing. We're almost there. Why the freak out campaign right now when we can be more normal than most?

Poor Victorians 'are living in a police state' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says news Victoria Police will be using drones to spy on Melbourne footy fans on Saturday is confirmation that “poor Victorians are living in a police state”. \n\nVictoria Police will be using drones and helicopters to spy on footy-mad Melburnians illegally celebrating Saturday’s AFL Grand Final. \n\nThe air wing and drone unit will be monitoring crowds at parks, beaches and other hot spots in Melbourne due to concerns footy fans will defy lockdown restrictions. \n\nThe metropolitan 'ring of steel' will also be bolstered and expanded to back roads.\n\n“I think this is emblematic of just how badly Victoria is travelling at the moment,” Mr Gleeson told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“Here you have got the greatest weekend of sport on the annual Victorian calendar, you’ve got the Cox Plate on Saturday and of course you’ve also got the AFL Grand Final.\n\n“The AFL grand final is being played in another state for the first time in 100 odd years.\n\n“The Cox plate, we’ve seen the imbroglio around that … but it’s also going basically without any spectators, that gives you an indication.\n\n“The rest of the country are travelling pretty well.\n\n“The poor Victorians are going to be spied on with this mob with drones, and handing out $5000 fines if you dare to go around to a mates house to watch the footy- ridiculous.”\n You might want to fact check that. 3 hrs ago police said it definitely won’t be happening. Fairly shite journalism. Damn could you imagine if Danial Andrews lifted these restrictions and then all the people calling him a dictator get covid and give it to thier nan who they couldn't see before then or die themselves or go to a footy match and spread it to thousands of people
