this Thursday as scheduled, but that doesn't mean nothing will change.
Victorian Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has said "nothing is off the table" as some restrictions are reviewed. James Trauer modelled data from Melbourne's second COVID-19 lockdown and found mask wearing significantly decreased the chance of infection. "I think it was worth a go trying to get back to COVID zero, but it's looking like it's probably impossible, now."At yesterday's press conference, there was an air of optimism from Professor Sutton about the situation in regional Victoria."We're doing pretty well in Shepparton," he said.People turned out to get tested in Traralgon after multiple exposure sites were listed.
"Even if we give up on elimination at the state level, we can still go specifically for elimination in some parts of the state," he said. Earlier this month, before the lockdown was applied statewide, Mornington Peninsula Mayor Despi O'Connor wrote to Premier Daniel Andrews asking that her LGA be subject to the same restrictions as regional areas rather than being included as part of greater Melbourne.
Royal Melbourne show 😔
Lockdown the bloody suburbs with it then!! We all know where they are!!!
But...but, what about my picnic? 🤦😉
Waiting to go and see my son, has been more than two years, had to cancel our normal visit 2019/2020/now 2021 maybe.
Andrews resigning after turning Victoria into a failed State would be a start.
I wonder why these breakthrough cases are occurring .....
If they give in to parents who feel that two weeks without playground coffee meetings is too much for them to bear in the middle of a pandemic, I hope the majority will see them as the selfish Covidiots they are and stay far, far away from them and their children.
Imagine having your inalienable freedoms taken from you and then handed back as concessions and revocable privileges. It’s no wonder that people take to the streets.
Meanwhile NSW is rocketing along to thousands of cases a day and an overwhelmed hospital system but the focus of the ABC is Victoria.
Until it's spoken about on Thursday all this is hearsay. Also why not lead with nsw ? But make us Victorians get more angry about something that's not even truth yet.

Australia news LIVE: NSW COVID cases continue to climb as Victoria braces for lockdown extensionAround 80 per cent of NSW’s available intensive care beds are full and Deputy Premier John Barilaro said this morning 'there is no question that we are stressed' when it comes to the hospital system. Follow our live coverage: So get vaccinated. It’s frustrating how many people in ICU and hospital remain unvaxed despite being eligible for months. There is no excuse for those in Sydney with vaccines available daily from multiple locations. Has anybody asked if govt has any plans to increase capacity of ICU beds, ventilators etc? They have asked about the hospital capacity often in the last week or so. Standard answer is that they have spent the last 18 months expanding icu’s to deal with this situation. Take that answer with all the political spin with which it was delivered.
