Second protester tests positive to COVID-19

a person who was hospitalised with the virus on Thursday was found to have participated in the illegal demonstrationCOVID-19 Commander Jeroen Weimar said a man in his 30s in Geelong had since tested positive to COVID-19 after attending the protests in Melbourne CBD on Tuesday.The Age, News, 20/09/2021, photo by Justin McManus. Construction workers protest outside the office of the CFMEU against mandatory vaccines in the construction industry.

Mr Weimar said the stage of the man's infection meant it was unlikely he caught the virus at the protest, but that he "would have been at that protest during his infectious period". Mr Weimar said the first protester with COVID-19 who authorities were aware of was still being treated at St Vincent's Hospital and contact tracers had not yet found any other cases of the virus directly linked to the protester.

Why did he get tested?

No free medical. Pay his own bills. Then after quarantine lock him up

The beaches are safe though right 🤣🤣🤣 that is a 'different' outdoors/ outside ... safer ... as per Brad H in his press conference ... they just need to stop with it.. people are starting to notice all the inconsistencies now

So.... covid only affects protesters, and somehow miraculously bypasses crowds on beaches. Ok... got it

You guys were always going to say that even if there was 0 covid cases I call bs

Yet STILL no evidence of outdoor transmission 🤔🤔. Anyone believing this garbage, is suffering from cognitive dissonance

Should the non believers got to hospital and take up MedicareGov bed- their choice - stay at home 🏠 and live with you decision🤔

Lol we all believe you guys 😂 was this one a Nazi or a fake tradie? Was he one of the protesters who “injured a police officer” by getting shot and gassed...by a police officer?

Throw them into China's ccp, give them a try to suppress and imprison them, and the CCP will make their families suffer together. Go

So. Democracy is illegal now? But when the BLM plague was having their say, it was a ‘pEaCe PrOtEsT’? 🥴 Right…

2 people, sounds dangerous. I can see exactly why you’ve banned protests and are punishing those who dare step outside. 2 positives, this is serious folks. Stay safe.

Really Can you interview this person and let them prove your story Will they have friends that protested recognize them and confirm this person as being genuine Just this one please, would be in your best interest to support the article right. Will never happen!! And why?

I don't believe that for a second So I am guessing the amount of police who go out and none of them have 'covid' What about all the people flocking at beaches, none either? Being outdoors is safe, the words out of that horses mouth

I thought they weren’t going to receive health care? Idiots. GetVaccinated ffs

Great news....

How can they tell when a pcr test can't even tell the difference between sars-cov-2 and influenza

WAKEUP ppl U are being played by liars and criminals. Try researching the truth about PCR testing & then U will realise they just make sh*t up. Every case is made up to make U the public full FEAR. U think VicPol R worrying about UR health. They the thugs R Israeli trained.

Bullsh*t

OMG second person ? Vaccinated? How many have Cov with fully vaccinated?

Click bait

Well that means that all the Cops there should be in isolation. Are they?

As expected. There will be more of them, absolutely. Let them taste their own medicine!

thats not good

2 people out of thousands, then only a 0.001% chance of dying, if they're over 75.

Well der

Take it to hight court. As high court has rules everyone has a right to protest. I am surprised no one has taken states to task of permit requirements. As its a right. You dont need a permit

Covid or not. Still have right to protest

No links yet to either of the two people catching it at the protest as stated by the VIC govt press conference this morning.

Hope they don't spread it to the police.

If it was blm protesters nobody would get covid I bet

Two extra people in Victoria and 1000 more in NSW - take your pick where to catch it - shopping centres - homes - schools - hospitals etc ?

That bitch - karma...

👮‍♀️Israel failed with 2 jabs! Started so called 3rd and 4th booster jabs. Africa is doing better as they are taking artemisinin. India and Japan started Ivermectin! Who is collecting money from the vax ? Vax is positive related with infection! Time to have alternate treatments!

All those who refuse to vaccinate should be forced to pay a tax to those of us who are vaccinating. They're the ones keeping the lockdown going

There WILL BE LOTS MORE of them , most wont come forward for treatment or testing . They''ll be out there spreading Delta all over the place & to every1 they meet and come near.

Hahaha what a hypocrisy

Firing squad Effective immediately

Lol god has a way of ridding of these meatheads

I hope they all do.. serves them right for doing this

So protestors are going to get tested? Is that for real? Is that one of the questions they ask you before you get tested? The MSM now has free license to print anything they like, true or not. Anyone fact checking this? It’s ok , I’ll wait ……….

Play stupid games…. Win stupid prizes!!

Yes, these protesters ARE IMMUNE TO FACT. How can these protesters reject science. If these protesters truly reject science, then these PROTESTERS TRULY REJECT CLIMATE CHANGE 🤨🤔

I thought these guys didn’t believe in getting tested?

I hate myself for saying this, but serves them right. Hopefully its a wake up call!!!

Good job.

It’s amazing how no police have covid either 🤷‍♂️

MurdochRiots

Sure

Statistically, with thousands and thousands of people protesting, it's totally within average numbers to get 2 people with covid. So far, these protests haven't been super-spreader events

Nahhh... you just want them all to get 'tested' to identify themselves... cmon we know how it works ...

Yeah but He's/She's an effing Aussie hero for freedom. Most CV they say is a bad flu, 99% recovery, but ever and a day that he/she will be an effing Aussie freedom fighting hero!!! 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏

Bullshit 😂

Singapore tightens COVID-19 rules despite 80 per cent vaccination rateSingapore has tightened COVID-19 rules despite 80 per cent of the country being fully vaccinated, an apparent shift away from its stated transition toward living with the virus. There is no living with the virus. Either you get rid of it, or be overwhelmed. Lots of grey area with COVID. I'm in BC Canada we are 80% over 12 yo dbl dosed 86% 1st dosed with Vax cards/mask mandate inside public areas. Unvaxed inc. under 12 yo's are now falling ill & hosp. overwhelmed Elderly may receive 3rd dose Over 5 yr old to 11 yr old to be vaxed Nov imagine a world without social media constantly sounding alarms ..how many would have panicked if they got their news via the paper in morning or via the evening news ..this constant news is harmful
