"New Zealand did it and they haven't had community transmission in 70 days. This is a virus, it's not a supernatural zombie. It transmits between people so you need to separate people."
"Given that we’ve already gone into a lockdown in Melbourne, we should turn something that depresses us into an an opportunity. In the six weeks of hard lockdown we could actually achieve elimination." "The risk elimination creates is a false sense of security that may diminish the community engagement with widespread testing and lead to a downsizing of the enhanced public health response, based on an assumption “we have got rid of the virus once and for all in our part of the world”.
"Elimination won’t be a golden answer to your economic woes, especially in a country like New Zealand or Australia that relies on tourism," he said. Five cases have been liked to Steel Mains, a steel fabrication business in Somerton, and four cases have been linked to Waste Equipment and Hiab Services in Ardeer.
About bloody time!
That's a good enough reason to drive.

There has never been a vaccine for any COVID! Time to take a leaf out of Sweden’s playbook.
PROVE IT IN COURT
Why doesn't The Age tell us where to buy them? Talk about local manufacturers making them? Does Victoria even have that capability any more?
We’re wearing our newly acquired (reusable) face masks in public.
.... aim for eradication, which can be done and has been done?” asked Professor Bowtell, who helped lead Australia's response to the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. Haha what a tool. Guess what mate? You didn’t eradicate AIDS. Hope you’ll do better with this one
I wish people would go back and read what the same experts said... like, 2 weeks ago. Vaccine was never on the table. Eradication was never on the table. In fact they pretty much said we’d all eventually get sick, they just didn’t want it happening all at once. A flat curve?
No they don’t, if we eliminate the virus from Australia.
springst just wait for the Liberal Party campaign for civil disobedience against dictatorial directives from Daniel Andrews.
Sydney right now. It’s not that hard.
Wear the mask people!
Most of us already do, so no big deal here! As for shortages, take a chill pill - make your own. You can wash them regularly and it’s a cheaper and more hygienic option.
Good. You can find local made cloth masks on Gumtree, FB Marketplace, Ebay, Etsy, Made It. shoplocal
Ohhhh just do it already ffs !!!!
NO FUCKING WAY!
🐑 can wear a mask, shouldn't be an issue if I don't then if it works so leave me alone 🖕
Hardly anyone is wearing masks around here
And like this is some major challenge for Melbournians . Asian countries masked up immediately. The resistance to masks is an embarrassing as the Great Bog Roll Run.
I can’t believe it’s taken THIS long to get to this point. I wore a mask during the first lockdown and I was stared at and avoided like a pariah. Masks can save lives - which is why medical professionals wear them when treating patients. WearADamnMask
Already do so.
Don't mistake Inconvenience for Oppression!!!!! Just do the right thing so we can come out of this and follow the rules by being negative and precious is not helping Victoria to get out of this Pandemic!!!!
It won’t happen. Well done to Donuts Dan for suggesting it 4 months into a pandemic 👏 👏
Ten experts nine different opinions....next week they all reverse their opinion. Um er whatever the WHO says.
‘May’.... means : fear porn
The hysteria is embedded deep.
Nothing but a control tactic. Shocking to say the lease.
I've been doing that from the start. I'm shocked by how few do.
My body, my choice
We can start a mask fashion, but it won't last too long hopefully ?
Does that include the homeless, drunks and druggies If not then pointless
Logical. I thought we'd be asked to do this during the first lockdown. Many, many people still aren't giving a flying f**k. We'd have as many lunatics as the USA refusing to wear masks if they become compulsory on entering stores!
I just hope there are enough, we have almost sold out. Certainly all Disposable Face Mask are all gone bar 20 cartons and only 15 Full Boxes of KN95's left now..
What kind of psychopath refuses to wear a mask? How hard is it?
About time... What happened to this guy?
They can jam the face nappies up their jacksies.

McDonald's staff required to wear face masks in MelbourneMcDonald&x27;s staff working at restaurants in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire must wear face masks to protect against coronavirus, the fast food giant has announced. Awful. Make them liable for health complications from rebreathing body waste Honestly anybody handling food should have to do that anyway So unhygenic. They will touch their mask (which will harbour germs from exhaling into the mask) with their gloves that have hardly been changed and then our food. Bet this comment will be put under 'more replies'. 🙄
