As Gladys has said, geography. Compared to the huge other states with their spread-out populations, poky little Victoria has a zillion people jammed into one area. They constantly cross paths to get anywhere. It’s the UK in miniature. Even a dedicated facility would face the same problem.

Well that’s my theory.

Sydneysiders could comment better than I but I’ve also heard it suggested that the nature of Sydney’s layout and associated difficulty with getting around means people are more likely to stick mostly to their area than in Melbourne.

The Northern Beaches being basically a one road in, one road out area being an example.

Maybe it’s a red herring.

Perhaps the weather here means people are more likely to congregate indoors too.

Surprised they brought back mask wearing in all situations outdoors

Yeah I won't be. I'll follow all the rules that will help with the safety of others but if I'm by myself outdoors (o

Is there a reason why we can't compare apples to apples? State to state.

Either we're perennially unlucky or there's systemic issues at play. NSW seem capable of handling minor outbreaks. WA clamp down on a single case. Both strategies work. Whatever the fu** Victoria is doing clearly doesn't work.

As the other poster said, you can’t plan for an infected person wandering around for nearly a week in the community without coming forward. That’s an extraordinary amount of time.

You'd have to say that's working fairly well for them.

5, still single digits and massive testing numbers

We will take that. Probably household members.. still on track for 7 days at this stage IMO.

Yep, cautiously, it’s a good result. Especially if all very close contacts.

 

[Deliverance]

I was openly critical of Andrews' team last year, but it looks like the contact tracers have nailed it.

Our weaknesses still appear to be border control and going all in, on AZ vaccine supply earlier. Now, who was in charge of that.

So which system do you want? NSW takes their chances and locked down a small geographic area. WA rolls up the drawbridge and locks down when one person gets a runny nose.

Victorian track and trace is cactus.

This time there’s no evidence for that. They’ve identified thousands of close contacts who are isolating.

Everything that is wrong with Australia right now.

My local swimming pool has an online booking system created by a 16 year old.

Can we not stand up an online booking system for vaccines? Or get ticketek to "sell" tickets to sessions.. whatever.. but having a hotline with someone on the phone sitting there entering booking details into a computer instead of having the public book themselves is just ridiculous!

Now, now, it took Victoria nearly 12 months to set up a qr code system and another 6 to get it in place so you just need to have patience

True but I would think most people booking in are older and are less comfortable with that. The sort of people who still line up at the bank. Both should be available.

C'mon..you don't not have internet banking because there's a group of people (probably over 80s) who might struggle! My parents are late 70s and could book online just fine!

It's inexcusable that scientists can study the virus, come up with a vaccine, test the vaccine and produce the vaccine.. and in that time the government (looking at ScoMo here.. and the states health departments) can't even organise a simple online booking system to roll it out!!!

The incompetence is staggering .

Calm down mate. I’m agreeing with you.

I'm glad.. I'm not having a go at you. Just pissed at the situation..

Ned_Flanders will have some crazy explanation about how that's not possible, to excuse the vic gov, soon enough

no excuse, its in the paper today

was given a lower priority than other projects, and was due for rollout next week

Construction sites allowed, no masks.

Gardeners with no human to human contact. Not allowed to work.

Because... science

Construction sites have to wear masks.

 

[cartwright]

apparently so

“All of the five new locally-acquired cases announced in Victoria have been linked to known cases”

As it happened: Victoria COVID: Five new local cases, record vaccination and testing numbers, exposure sites top 150

More than 100,000 Victorians have had coronavirus tests in the past two days as authorities try to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Can't blame a Labor government, turn the spotlight on the public and blame them, anything but point out the Fed's failure. It's probably a tale of demographics as much as anything but it's interesting the way the Oz seems to be turning a bit on Morrison while the tabs remain slavish in their praise for his idiocy.

Just wait a few months until people stop shitting themselves and get the vaccination then. They'll have online booking by then and barely any lines to get vaccinated.

At present vaccination doesn't get you any special privileges so no need to rush.

They 'have to' but never do. There was a construction site over the road from our local cop shop and for 6 months they never wore a mask and never got in trouble. Barely any construction site I've passed ever wear them.
