It would be helpful if the Vic government would provide more info around the numbers, sure a spike to 75 sounds high, but if they have been testing more its not necessarily that there is a spiralling caseload.
Positive test data versus total testing data would be useful to assess where we are at in Vic. The spike today was expected due to the increased level of testing over the weekend.
The Sherrif's job now is to collect fines and enforce court penalties isn't it?Doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Certainly sounds better than contracting it out to the cheapest security contractor.
Why not do this properly and set up a quarantine station, somewhere nice and close to the airport so there is as little travel as possible.

Vietnam 2 USA 0The Vietnamese are highly disciplined as a society, and coupled with tighter social control, they've done superbly well. They had one guy (British) in hospital on a ventilator for 64 days or something - he survived. They also have good socially funded healthcare.
This article explains a lot of how they did it - cracked down hard and early before the virus penetrated much. Some things they did we can't do, like using surveillance mechanisms to keep control and taking down hoax postings on social media. Targeted test/trace and quarantine for big numbers of people (in the thousands) if a single positive was found.
How Did Vietnam Become Biggest Nation Without Coronavirus Deaths?
In Vietnam, those who enter a cafe have a good chance of meeting a security guard who sprays their hands with disinfectant. Or, if getting on a bus, they will be told to put on a mask and sit one row apart from others. Half a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnamese still practice health...www.voanews.com
Meanwhile in the US the number of deaths is now double the number of US casualties sustained in the entire Vietnam war.

Running a quarantine site seems outside their skill set ... to me.
And I wouldn't have given it to a dodgy security firm either but Mikakokis did.
Security in this context is misnomer.

That is all authorities can do when they are faced with a gun-toting entitled population built on selfishness and greed and is so full of flag wavers and a sad underbelly of violent looters. God's own country? Respectful populations are needed to beat COVID.Some US states and the White House have clearly raised the white flag on this issue. Just let the virus do what it does and be damned with it.

Yep. I think this guy is well on his way to making America great again!!!Yeah, culture is a big factor achilles, agree. But the politicisation of the whole issue down partisan lines has made the situation worse, particular in the Red states. They've actually made mask wearing a democrat vs republican issue.
Case in point
Purely just a coincidence? 79 today apparently, not good.As I predicted, vague hand-waving.
I didnt even know you could get corona virus from routine tesring, but Dan says you can.
Just call it both ways Tiger.
No one did Ridders, it is falsly inferred by the A-man.Not sure who said it was evil ethnics.
You keep bringing Trump up im just responding in kind.can you give that to me again but in English this time..
I'll take a stab at it anyway. Yeah Victoria has some problems right now but in the grand scheme of Covid19, Australia and Victoria are doing OK. You might have noticed me complimenting all state premiers and Scomo for this.
Dan the Man vs Trump? The US just clocked over 128K deaths, so I won't be paying the Dumpster any compliments, no matter how much you beg.
Peta Credlin did, in a typically fact free rant:No one did Ridders, it is falsly inferred by the A-man.
So does the Victorian gov every day.Peta Credlin did, in a typically fact free rant:
Peta Credlin apologises for inaccurately blaming South Sudanese for coronavirus outbreak
The former Abbott government advisor inaccurately suggested South Sudanese Australians were not following social distancing measures due to a lack of English literacy.www.sbs.com.au
I actually didnt notice but as you say you have, credit where its due.Yeah Victoria has some problems right now but in the grand scheme of Covid19, Australia and Victoria are doing OK. You might have noticed me complimenting all state premiers and Scomo for this.
