I just hope this is the wake up call they need to make them take this seriously...

Victoria's incompetence this time last year is starting to look not that bad compared to whats happening now.

The NSW government have a solution handed to them, they have a frame of reference to what happens if you are slow to act, and they are just refusing to do anything worthwile. Like, they flat out don't care.

This is infuriating.

I didn't think Melbourne had the Delta strain so considering how much more contagious it is, the comparisons aren't really there.

My main question is why the F does someone drive a limo for air crew (and for that matter drive anyone they don't know) and not, at the very least, wear a mask?

Melbourne also had no vaccination at all last year, so lockdown was the only option. Although vaccination rates are slowly building at least there are some who have been vaccinated. Hence the number of deaths so far are limited to a 90 year old who wasn’t vaccinated.

As for the limo driver, bizarrely no law in place to cater for the bleeding obvious.

Melbourne did have the Delta variant
Professor Cheng said the public health team had reviewed the details of the 24 passengers on board that flight, who were all designated as close contacts after the man tested positive on May 9.

A hotel quarantine leak is likely behind the Delta strain outbreak in Melbourne

Victoria's Deputy Chief Health Officer Allen Cheng says a few theories are on the table, but it's most likely a returned traveller from Sri Lanka passed the Delta strain of coronavirus on to a worker or guest during their stay in hotel quarantine.

So they are saying (without saying) that they refuse to lock down proper because of no financial support for indiviudals who are out of work during lockdown.

But they are going to have to eventually, so either they need the feds to bring back JobKeeper for NSW or they are going to rue not going into lockdown sooner (like literally everyone has suggested) because it is going to cost the state waaaay more now that if they did it 2-3 weeks ago.

Either way, the inaction is negligent at this pointand this is deja vu for me because Vic were literally doing the same thing this time last year. Prolonging the inevitable accomplishes nothing.

So the ACT and regional NSW haven’t had a COVID case all year but are still in the red zone according to Victoria. Not sure Victoria will ever learn to live with virus if it thinks areas with zero cases are red zones.

Even Queensland is taking a practical approach and allowing the borders to remain up with regional NSW. All on the basis that there are no cases.

But people break the law and escape the zones , it only took 1 person 26 days ago to spread it .

You're right there. But we want to be like the UK where they are getting 30,000 cases a day again but barely anyone is dying compared to the last time they had the same numbers. I'm not sure about hospitalisation but I think that is much lower too.

Today they have a 7 day average of 31,000 cases, but a 7 day average of only 27 deaths
In January when they had a 7 day average of 31,000 cases, they had a 7 day average of 1,220 deaths.
A 98% reduction in mortality so far.

Numbers will eventually become irrelevant but we need the vaccine supply ASAP to make that happen.

The Vaccine roll out is the key and so far it's been farcical.

I just want to correct this a bit in that the January figure I used was when they were coming back down from a peak, so the deaths were unequivocal to now as there is a lag between infections and deaths.

If you use the last time they were trending up to 31,000 like they are right now, they had a 7 day average of 427 deaths. Still a 94% reduction in mortality, but a more correct logic.
