Nothing Winston comes out with should surprise us. Will be interesting to see what happens after the NZ election if Labor doesn't need NZ First anymore.
I'm not up to date on their politics. Just trying to imagine the reaction if Morrison was on holiday and Michael McCormack said "Andrew Bolt has informed me that...".
I'd say that Bolt's generally a good judge but I don't want to make people hysterical and sidetrack the thread.
Patient zero for Victoria's second wave was not a security guard
Leaked emails show the infection that started the COVID-19 outbreak in Victoria came from a staff member in hotel quarantine.
Yep, 372 today, the roller coaster continues.
Flatter today so not going down as quickly. To be expected.
We just have to sit tight for the moment and see what happens. One good thing is that the Stage 4 restrictions should only start to have full effect next week, if they are working then we should see some reward.

Continued downtrend in active cases outside of aged care and healthcare.
Total numbers are still downtrending but as David said a rollercoaster. If we get spikes one day and declines the next day as long as those spikes are reducing then we are still going in the right direction but it would be good to see cases on an ongoing downtrend.

If you go for the underlying trend (ie. factoring out healthcare workers and aged care), the last 7 days have all seen daily declines in active cases. Active cases have declined by 558 over the last 7 days, around 15% of the total on 7th August.
Hey posh i know you have probably advised previously but can you put up a link of the website you are using for your figures,
I'd say that was BS but seeing you didn't say it I can't
Sure no worries.

The Premier has to stop the daily gab fests. Send out a hack to give the stats though even they are out on Twitter hours before the press conference. Get in front of the camera when you have something meaningful to announce. Today was a classic... Has no idea what the exit door looks like....speaking in wishy washy generalities. WW2 was Churchill doing a daily speech? He was half cut most of it but when the time came hedelivered what the nation needed. Turned up in the debris from time to time. Haven't seen Dan outside the media room in 5 months. I know he has to set an example but he has 200 in his spin dept on 150k each who surely could work out some way to get him in the real world. P
