Hey DanielAndrewsMP dont F?*k it up by sending everyone back out there too early like you did last time

Can we please close Vic borders NOW. All other states have closed us out, but it is one sided closure. People can still come into Victoria! Victorians don't want another outbreak due to someone travelling from interstate into Vic and passing on the virus. We have had enough😈

why not lead with the positives? How the new cases are far fewer than the reduction in total cases each day?

Finally in the hundreds, please keep being good Victoria

Wow. Some people have a cold. I had the flu last year - and 900 died from it - and the media didn't think it was newsworthy. We are being played and the media is complicit - at best.

Has this all of a sudden become a game , the lower the numbers the more you win , fuck that , the gov screwed up and they should pay for the consequences not us victorians , we all should be working hard in our jobs businesses not wearing a mask and staying away from people

💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Jinx

It is working, keep it going. Well done DanielAndrewsMP!

billy_pinker Now Virus in Victoria is great news going DOWN more so people great job with Andrews so old Murdoch liberal still using 2010 political words

Probably over only 15000 test, less test less cases

Hahah how about those testing numbers dan? Dropped a little bit recently ?

Yay! 👏👏👏good job Victoria 😁

Chairman Dan has no authority! He has no jurisdiction! Under what jurisdiction? No jurisdiction = no authority = no power to do anything PeoplesTreaty Didge Productions on YT AussieDidge Dylan.Wilson.3591 on FB

Keep going Victoria, you are on the downhill run. Show NSW off by getting to Zero.

But is that because there is less testing?

Mao Tse Dan will still blame us for something

Not good enough for Dodgy Dan. He will prolong stage 4 indefinitely. Coz you know, we have been 'naughty ' for not doing enough testings blah blah. Anything excuse to prolong his unprecedented powers.

Back to stage 3, the numbers are bullshit anyway, I bet people with the flu or a cold have been labeled positive for corona! I bet some of the elderly had pre existing medical problems, but is been labeled as corona! Of course numbers will come down will come ffs, wake up!

DanielAndrewsMP tosser of the century. Grab yourself a one ticket to China

I'm going to start a list of all who put $$$ before the community They will never ever get my vote or my business.

So anyone happy that Victorians are working together? That with hard but swift action we have avoided the scale of death that other countries have experienced? Regardless of the leader, we all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe. citizenship StayHomeSaveLives

Go Victoria!!! Stick with it! We’ve got this on the run. IStandWithDan

Let's fling the borders & airports open right now so big business can flourish at everyone else's expense...

Are we going to be punished for lower numbers too? Since he thinks we’re not testing enough😏

*pheew* .. luckily it's just cases ..🙄.. 179 more with a running nose in winter.. let that sink in.

Very sad. But much better. It’s working. Showing up Trump, Bolsonaro etc.

Useless information. When is the State opening up (and staying open) so we can get on with our lives and stop killing people’s livelihoods and devastating people’s mental health? COVID19Vic

This is putting a smile 😃 on my face.

Now our PM think the vaccine will be ready for the much stronger SARS-Covid 2🦠within a few months! Not happy it went up, but in home infections may account for the slight rise.

'A good sign': Victoria records 216 new COVID-19 casesBREAKING: Victoria's Chief Health Officer has described the state's latest tally of new cases of coronavirus as 'a good sign' and said the numbers are the result of mandatory mask-wearing and stage three and four restrictions. 'government actions such as border closures, full lockdowns, and a high rate of COVID-19 testing were not associated with statistically significant reductions in the number of critical cases or overall mortality.' The Lancet, July 21 Alledgedly. Science guy that should know better--based on formal training in his field--pulls imaginary statements out of his backside.
