What about people who flout rules? Every time it is Government responsibility? If someone has symptoms and still out and about - Who’s responsible for that behaviour? security guards or others who may have been positive why didn’t they go for testing instead kept roaming around

The Age - please start reporting the true nature of the deaths. Is it WITH covid or FROM covid. CHO Sutton has admitted how misleading these daily death stats are. Open FB link to view him on video.

More ammo to drive their agenda in keeping 'select' Victorian's hostage in this not so stage 4.... stage3andahalf

I have heard from people that nursing homes have a financial incentive to label deaths as Covid deaths when there were clearly other factors . Can The Age please investigate this abuse of the system ? It also artificially elevates the daily death numbers and this affects actions

I love commentators on The Age articles. Every time there's even the tiniest increase in numbers from the previous day it's always 'ReSiGn DAN you MuRDERrer' or 'CoMRaDe DAn' you are ALL broken records. If you paid attention the 7 day average has been coming down for days.

Interesting interview from the frontline of Spanish hospitals giving quite a different viewpoint on the ‘crisis’

About 350 of the 376 deaths have occurred during this recent outbreak. 99% of these cases are due to the Andrews government mismanagement in quarantine hotels. I can see why ScoMo is being blamed 🤔

Do we know the breakdown of deaths for Aged care v General population? All deaths are terrible to hear of but my understanding is that more than half in Vic are due to aged care break outs?

The DanielAndrewsMP government’s gigantic stuff up just keeps on going. Andrews, Pakuka, Mikakos, et al should all hang their heads in shame.

Australia’s greatest mass murderer Thanks dan ResignDanielAndrews

Maybe if they protect health care workers the numbers would be no where near as high. 30 doctors get infected in one hospital. No other workplace would accept this. Where is WorkCover

We’re not coming out of this on 13th September.

Its bad, but not as bad as June 2019 that killed 1789 extra Victorians and no one even noticed (worst winter in past 10 years). What is criteria to re-open state and prevent CBD from dying?

URGHHHHHH!!! I’m done with these high numbers

Not happy it went up, but in home infections may account for the slight rise.

Comrade Dan How can we expect a magical vaccine for a Lab modified🦠 with super high mutation rate! Remember vaccine still not available for SARS since 2003! Now our PM think the vaccine will be ready for the much stronger SARS-Covid 2🦠within a few months!
