No Syd, NEVER EVER HAS ANY DISEASE EVER BEEN WIPED OUT!
I thought it meant maybe with conditions ?Permanently means forever
This is fair enough. I agree that the lingering lockdown will have lasting effects, but I still think that not taking this ultra-cautious approach and letting the numbers get out of control again would have led to an even worse outcome in the long run. We have our cases down to single figures now which will make the virus far easier to manage in the coming months, and will make our economic recovery that much faster. Hopefully the government can do their job this time and in 2 months we'll all be chilling on the beach while other parts of the world are still going through their lockdowns.The lockdown was an absolutely necessary and measured response at a point in time. We are well past that time and the ongoing restrictions which are destroying millions of Victoria’s financial, mental, socialization and progressions wellness/opportunities is going to have a far longer latter effect than what we likely would have suffered from allowing families to see each other for the last 6-12 weeks.
No, it means forever, except when it doesn't.I thought it meant maybe with conditions ?
He was in Adelaide this morning, when is he coming home to Melbourne?Frydenburg's had a gutful of Dan and it's hilarious to listen to.
Today Yesterday 3 4 5 6 7 New Cases 5 6 12 14 12 12 10 7 Day Avg 10 11 11 11 10 10 9 14 Day Avg 9 10 10 10 9 9 10

Smallpox!I'll say this again a vaccine has never wiped out any disease ever. Not everyone will take it, it will be rushed and only 60% effective at best so that means lots of people that take it will get the virus. Lastly the virus has different strains
There is a difference between elimination being impossible and the people not willing to accept it as an option any more. Elimination is possible, but it requires more hard work from a population that has given a helluva effort so far. The problem with deciding it’s no longer feasible is that you will be locking yourself away from most of the rest of Australia, which have eliminated it. No way other states should be expected to open up to a state that doesn’t have it under control.I’m not specifically calling you out here but this is part of the issue with this. You’re either pro lockdown=savior dan or anti lockdown=Dan the dictator.

I’ve been a defender of the lockdown and of Dan but at this point he and Brett are working on antiquated ideas of elimination at the expense of the well-being of their states population.
It’s possible to think Dan has/had done a good job and also identify that time has past.
Please tell me how it's possible when we've been in lock down since July and are having cases from Frankston lead to cases in a town 240kms away when most of us can't go more than 5kms from home?There is a difference between elimination being impossible and the people not willing to accept it as an option any more.

So it’s a choice between two sh*t situations. Lockdown or national isolation. It sucks but the virus doesn’t care for what we want, it does what it does.
It’s not an option. The virus is well and truly in the community now.There is a difference between elimination being impossible and the people not willing to accept it as an option any more.

Victoria could close down some of those high risk industries but I accept the appetite isn’t there for that. So what do you want to do? You can open up, back your track and trace to keep it at manageable levels, but it’s likely you’ll only be allowed to open up to NSW and maybe SA. Australia will remain divided from each other just as long as the nation will be from the rest of the world. You simply can’t expect other states to introduce the virus because it’s out of the box elsewhere. That’s not fair either.Please tell me how it's possible when we've been in lock down since July and are having cases from Frankston lead to cases in a town 240kms away when most of us can't go more than 5kms from home?
And that's now when there is supposedly less than 200 cases out there.
Its in the industries that aren't locked down and they can't keep it out
NSW can't remain case free. Once its in the community good ******* luck.
Just closed aged care and meat processing and freight trucks and supermarkets yeah?Victoria could close down some of those high risk industries but I accept the appetite isn’t there for that.

There’s a lot of talk that elimination is impossible and it’s time to open up. But there’s also no solutions to the bigger problems at hand. Maybe there aren’t any.
