Coronavirus

You cannot defend his governments incompetency.

Where have they been incompetent here?

 

[IanG]

What is it about Victoria that allows the virus to spread so quickly in comparison with other states?

The UK strain escaped hotel quarantine in both QLD & WA yet there was no community transmission in either state. I think the QLD woman passed onto her husband and that's it. The WA bloke didn't pass it on to anyone despite driving Ubers whilst infectious.

Both had a lockdown did they not?

She seemed to just parrot Coatesworth. There was very little distinction from her between the previous virus & the new variants.

Not right. Watch it again. She parroted no one.

 

[Ridley]

Both had a lockdown did they not?

Yes but no community transmission. We get both barrels in Vic.

 

[MD Jazz]

And Andrew's hands in his resignation.

You cannot defend his governments incompetency.

Victoria is just unlucky. Again.

Think they did snap lock down after only 1 case and told other states to lock their borders to their own respective states

Ha. I had someone last night tell me that he thinks Victoria was unlucky with Covid. When I enquired as to why he said “compared to NSW who had a carefree attitude “. I had no response.

Population density maybe.

Where would you expect them to do this? If you are talking army barracks etc (and I agree that we should have rural locked down quarantine facilities where workers are treated more like FIFO than daily workers), but interested to know where you think the VIC government can actually set these up?

This should be a federally run system, but Scomo has basically sat back and allowed the states to do their thing, there has been a significant lack of a federal policy around covid.

Yeah but they would have already been infectious by the stage but still didn't transmit to others as has happened in Vic.

 

[Ridley]

Population density maybe.

Yes that could partly explain it.

Yeh, surely at some stage they measure the costs of these shut downs and committ some proper planning and resources to it.

We're getting new number plate slogans this year.

 

[mrposhman]

Sounds like Andrews wants to change the hotel quarantine system anyway with this being the UK variant.

 

[MD Jazz]

Population density maybe.

Density of population more like it

 

[Ridley]

Density of population more like it

That as well.

Mask wearing outdoors is *smile* *smile*. Should only be necessary if you can not physically distance in a crowd.

If you are walking in your neighbourhood and don't go within metres of people it is completely unnecessary.

Our "experts" seem to have different advice to other states "experts" in this regard. Masks outdoors walking your dog with no one around?
