Vic facing ‘years’ of mandatory masks

second wave outbreak in Victoria, the Premier Dan Andrews has warned it’s a feature of outbreaks around the world that the second phase of infections is often more deadly than the first.

“Although imperfect, cloth masks worn broadly in the community can have a significant effect,’’ he said. “The endpoint is to lower numbers and get numbers as low as possible so that we can have confidence that we can manage the inevitable outbreaks that will occur, and the inevitable transmission that we will see,’’ he said.

“That’ll be a major feature of the budget, as well as the impacts not just on business but on workers’ families, communities. We know that this is a one in 100-year event, and the damage done because of it will be long-lasting and will be very significant. That’s why we’ll have to stand with everybody who’s been impacted and stand alongside them strongly and provide them with all the support.”

There are trillions of Viruses in the air, in our water, in the soil and in our bodies. If Viruses were dangerous, we'd all be dead by now.

Gee not ober dramatising at all

This is NOT about a virus. There will never be a competent vaccine. wake up sheeple

You would nearly think that the second wave has been done to help labor win their state elections. Their hard border closures and their no cases showing what a brilliant job they are doing. We have qld, NT and WA all with hard closures and all with elections. Strange

May i remind you that we can just live with this virus, as we have with EVERY OTHER VIRUS since time immemorial. We have immune systems. Masks and continued restrictions only diminish our health and natural immunity.

All hype and over reaction. When the numbers are manipulated to a degree that you only see the negative, you make stupid decisions like Victoria. If everyone just looked at the data with the whole population in mind, the recovery rate and the little/no symptoms .. it's a joke.

How did we survive two world wars? Constant death of our young men and women overseas. Bombing of Darwin, Japanese on our doorstep. Staying inside for six weeks and wearing a mask when you go outside hardly seems like the end of the world. Vaccine the only complete resolution.

How many people are seriously falling for this bullshit? Go on wear a sock over your face! That’ll do it! delusional oh, and we already have a cure. It’s been around for decades. nothingtoseehere noagendas 🤪

Vaccinations are not necessary for a virus you only know exists because of the TV, with a 99.9% survival rate. Now you know.

The permanent change to daily life is called Communism.

Remember when they were flattening the curve in March so hospitals could cope

What's white-flight but for all people from a specific state?

Are masks currently working though?

DanLiedPeopleDied

If DanielAndrewsMP thinks people will tolerate mandatory mask wearing for years he really is delusional. Every second people are forced to wear a mask will remind people of hie badly he and JennyMikakos failed victoria.

This was always about biding our time until there is a vaccine. We can’t predict next week let alone next year or the next 5 years.

As opposed to Gladys who has watched your hatchet job on Dan and given up.

It is not the virus that is changing life as we know it, it is the retarded thinking minds of government that are fucking up life on this planet as we know it!

Australia’s end game was never eliminating COVID19 What a load of shit!!!

Government tyranny

Don't look over there.

Fake news.

It's so obvious now. Their clothes are coming off and they will stand naked before the world.

WHY ?

Piss off a vaccine is not far off!!

Please stop with the scare tactics and stop talking and do something to quickly find and deal with the selfish fcking dickheads out there! Learn from the hotel turned brothel corruption of softness & weakness... start taking actual action instead of words EnoughIsEnough

Years ? 😳😳

Years and years of cerfew and masks. Not happy Dan!!

Ummmm.... WTF were they expecting? People can’t/won’t follow the rules to keep theit fellow citizens safe, people being selfish assholes, antimaskers, antivaxers.... like seriously why r people so surprised this could last for years

Dr. Limeng Yan The animal can spread the SARS-Cov-2 is a totally lie. The SARS-Cov-12 came from nature which also is another lie!

Fake news ThisisNotJournalism

Australians are weak. They didn't used to be though....

You're fucking joking! 🖕🖕

So where will Victorians be this time next year....I dare say not in Victoria!

The masked political bandit who has overseen the downhill slide of Victoria & everyone living herem Andrews manipulates the truth re ADF being offered to assist with hotel quarantine. Shame on you Andrews.

HCQ.

Fk off

Get rid of DanAndrews who's doing far more damage to your state than COVID19Vic He's put 1 million out of work, 6 million in lockdown and destroyed your economy and savings.

Cuomo will be charged with MURDER for his deliberate actions samanthamaiden - will you write a story on this? If it was Trump you would!

So expect a mass exodus from Victoria.

maybe Putin's vaccine will make a difference 😔

Dugs The Victorians 2nd lockdown will end in about 4 weeks. Numbers will come down to about 10. The real question is what happens then.

Apparent for months that lives will be different, unless a cure/preventative medication is found. I struggle with that, but compared to our forebears, we have barely suffered. Feel for us with jobs & businesses gone, but life is most important. If only folks stuck by rules.

Until you think harder and realise that supression and elimination aren't mutually exclusive, supression is along the road to elimination ThisisNotJournalism

More likely decades

Nonsense. The 'killer virus' doesn't harm 99.8% of the global population!

Remember at the beginning? ...the plan was to FLATTEN THE CURVE to allow our hospital system to cope... ...when did the plan change to ZERO CASES❓❓❓ 🛑 I M P O S S I B L E T A S K 🛑 ...and they know it ‼️‼️ ...THIS US NOT ABOT A VIRUS... ...IT NEVER WAS... THINK... ‼️

😳😫

Yeah.. Get ready for a fight DanielAndrewsMP .. You mandate masks for years going forward and continuous lockdowns? Mate hell will rain down!

lol. Fake News.

Australian Stock Exchange ASX:$OLL OpenLearning offers micro credentials that are accredited. Many people feel it's the way of the Higher Education future

So pessimistic, I don't think it will take years, may be few months.

Vic Premier grilled over doctor receiving parking ticket during stage four lockdowns | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews was caught off-guard when a reporter asked him why an ICU doctor from the Royal Melbourne Hospital received a parking ticket from the City of Melbourne during stage four lockdowns.\n\n'Firstly, firstly, let me follow up on that matter, ah, I'm sure, let me follow up on that matter,' he said.\n\n'I don't think someone who's in there literally saving lives at considerable risk to themselves should be the subject of a parking ticket.'\n\nMr Andrews emphasised parking inspectors did not work for the Victorian government and fewer people were generally parking, pointing to data that suggested traffic was down 40-50 per cent.\n\n'You can't build a perfect system when it comes to these rules,' he said.\n\n'There's no manual on how to shut down a very large part of the Victorian economy.'\n\nThe Premier also said he would look into why parking inspectors were currently considered essential workers. \n\n'I'm not certain all parking inspectors are working across the state - let me follow up on the status of their work,' he said.\n\nMr Andrews said he would personally 'follow up' on the infringement issued to the doctor on duty. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia DanielAndrewsMP Of course he'd be taken off guard.

Survey finds 20 per cent of Vic nurses, doctors without PPE | Sky News AustraliaThe number of coronavirus cases in Victorian health workers has more than doubled in the past two weeks with authorities blaming cheap personal protective equipment and a lack of standard protocols for the spike. \n\nA recent survey found 20 per cent of doctors and nurses have limited or no access to PPE such as face masks, while one in five doctors in public hospital said they had to source their own. \n\nThe results prompted criticism from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians who said the lack of freely available PPE was not good enough and of significant concern. \n\nNurses from Western Australia were also set to arrive in Victoria this week to support the health system after its deadliest day on Sunday which saw 17 coronavirus deaths and 394 new infections. \n\nImage: AP geoffrey_payne drvyom Is this true?
