Pubs, restaurants could open sooner as double-dosed tally hits 60%

Melburnians could be back in pubs and restaurants by the end of next week as Victoria powers towards its 70 per cent double-dose vaccination target several days ahead of schedule.

“If we move there faster, there’s obviously consideration of having public health directions kick in a little bit earlier, potentially.” Mr Guy said synchronising the restrictions “then puts nearly 15 million Australians under the same level of requirements, giving consistency, giving certainty to business, certainty to parents, to students”.

However, Professor Sutton said his “expectation” was workers would need to be fully vaccinated and that would be outlined in public health directions when the new rules come into effect. “The case numbers have been actual at or around the modelling, maybe on the high side,” Professor Sutton said. “The hospitalisation is a little bit under modelling predictions. And maybe that’s because it [underestimated] really how protective that single dose, that first dose coverage was, which Victoria really pushed.”

It's all a rort... it's all simply to allow the Melbourne Cup to run

Today it’s “charging”

Call me a pessimist but until I’m sitting somewhere, other than my dining table, eating dinner I won’t believe it 😳

Classic Matthew Guy getting in with slamming conservative approach, but will recant quickly & blame gov if we then opened “too early” if cases surge. Modelling expects that at 70%. Successful wide opening at 70% is as likely as Matthew Guy making a useful positive contribution

Come on Victoria… vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate!!! Let’s get this done and get out and about again

Bull cov cases please explain .

Yeah. Pigs might fly. Believe it when it happens

They should get rid of the curfew now.

Tuesday the 26th*

Bring it on - just in time for Birthday celebrations!

This is a very exciting thing. People enjoy the happy time.

Well we seemed to have changed our tune…mmmmm? Something happen today?

I’m not eating or going out anywhere until the gyms re-open 👀
