returnees in quarantine hotels made whoopee with the security guards who were supposedly supervising their isolation. Presumably they were not thinking of how the 6.6m inhabitants of Victoria state might react. They know now. Some guards took the virus home, from where, in July, it spread fast, just weeks after the state had emerged from a long but successful lockdown. Now Melbourne, Australia’s second most populous city, has reimposed tight restrictions.
Australia is recording more daily cases of covid-19—744 on July 30th—than at the peak of the first wave in March and April. Back then its handling of the pandemic earned worldwide admiration. The latest infections undermine a hard-earned reputation and throw plans for economic recovery into disarray. But Australia is not alone among Asian standouts now suffering a troubling second wave of covid-19.
Hong Kong, too, was exemplary earlier this year. Many Hong Kongers swiftly took precautions, their memories of the deadlyoutbreak in 2003 still vivid. The territory closed borders, schools and restaurants; urged office workers to work from home; and instituted a strict system for returnees that included testing, electronic tagging and isolation. Though there was never a full lockdown, just seven people died of covid-19 in the first wave.
I guess its Trump's fault
Yes, Australia might reach 300 deaths, very worrisome
fase 2 is in opperation you can see the mainstream media starting it up again.
i sayed for months it wil come the media and the deep state wil create it i was 100% sure and it wil come. All fake but that dont stop them they did it ones and they can do it again.
But in America we’re carefree! We never graduated from Stage 1. USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
No, it’s not
Is that the virus on the edge of the wave? That poor surfer has no idea what is in that wave does he
Weather is not helping winter is flu time
I’ll just make a better and thicker face mask with 20 100 dollar bills - thanks to $IZEA
I rate this graphic
🙄😅😭😭😭
I'm in awe of the creative drawing of the next wave with spores. COVID-19 is a worry for the entire world. Even small countries in the Caribbean with a low number of infections and no deaths are experiencing a peak right now. No one, and no country, is safe from COVID-19's wrath.

It’s worrying us all, especially here in the U.K. where our current government is so inept at crisis management!
BettyBuckley Victoria in Australia is seeing a significant leap. Unfortunately, they never locked down completely just partially, and now the 'my rights! my rights!' idiots are being, well, idiotic and cases keep climbing. I have family in Melbourne and they are scared. Wear a mask FFS!!
Your picture is inaccurate. Hong Kong's 'second wave' is barely a splash by European standards, let alone American. And it is already passing.
Covid is not the problem. The problem is the political and power hungry management of it by globalist and leftist elites.
It is NOT a second wave.
That is the age group that appears most tolerant to covid19. Therefore the level of hospitalisations and any deaths would be expected to be low. So comparison with Actuals when known in a fews weeks time will be informative. Incidentally what's the known number of infections now?
We can't beat the virus until we get herd immunity. It will keep coming.
Well, youth IS wasted on the young.
But not China? Hmmm
SORRY FOR THE PARTY ROCKING!!!!
Fake
Umm ... because, compared to every other country in the world, it WASNT a first wave? Because Victoria is the first part of Australia to just be STARTING a true first wave?
Karma!
like many other flus....stop terrorism😠
Australia is in trouble 7 deaths out of population of 25 million definitely a pandemic and out of control out of that seven five most likely seriously ill and over eighty and the other two probably hit by a truck but had coronavirus six months ago
How many tests were carried out on July 30th vs individual days March and April?
Good news
Until people are told to strengthen immune systems by eating foods rich in globulin proteins, the first,least expensive,most effective defense against COVID is being withheld in deference to forced medical procedure i.e. vaccines. Hemp is Nature’s vaccine
Why
It’s Winter ❄️
Thanks USA.
All in one State, which has now gone into complete lockdown.
This is very concerning!
We need to stop playing Whac-A-Mole with this virus and put our collective heads together to stop this pandemic using intelligence and good science. It's coming down to either be smart or be dead. This virus is no arcade game, so let's get serious.
it is not going to work because 1.cases are already local, 2.aussies are red neck just like the Americans.
It is the darkest period since World War 2. So many people have been confirmed to be infected with the virus and a lot of them have lost their lives. Because of the virus, it is almost impossible to restart the economy. China has taken the severest steps to prevent it.
There wasn’t even a first wave. Covid has been incredibly mild in Oz. Our politicians however have embraced terrorism as their government model for us newly created slaves
Write about Oz Govt behaving like dictators, severely restricting thr freedom of movement of citizens in and out of the country. Even for family emergencies.
still same wave ...
