The economy is completely ruined . Not a restaurant open in Lygon street . other restaurants who haven’t got outdoor dining won’t be back either . Very very sad

Madison as an elite athlete shows as that many won’t give themselves a chance if they don’t get vaccinated. This story could have been a lot worse if she wasn’t vaccinated.

Again wd Stig.
We were lucky enough to holiday in QLD in-between lockdowns earlier this year.
Was a lovely week without the crap down here.
For the last 10 years, every year we have thought about moving there...but always decide on NO.
I guess it was the warm weather that we loved, ahhhh well.

Given your criticism of RFC over player behaviour and player management in the past now that you are living outside Victoria it is probably a good idea to embrace a local club.
Luckily the Suns provide you a great opportunity to support a club with a history of no player behaviour problems, strong management plus on-field success.
I would support them now if I were you. You can go to every home game as well.

My roadmap analogy is the Vic plan is like the book of strip maps my old man used to get from the racv. Its a long trip like going from Melb to Darwin so it's a thick stack of maps. Not much point looking at the NT leg whilst we are still pulliing out of the driveway.
Pfft. What would you know.
Snig had conducted thorough research of his 8 friends.
I was nearly convinced by the articulate arguments made by the freedom protesters on the weekend, but now Sqig has spoken I think it its clear. All lockdowns should end.
I don’t get why people are so upset about the timeline. I’m actually really shocked Andrews is sticking with the nationally agreed timeline when the modelling shows about 2,000 people are gonna die in VIC by the end of the year. I really was expecting him to change the opening up date to 90% aged 12 and up, with staggered easing of restrictions leading up to it. I’m not sure I am comfortable with this roadmap tbh.
Another thing I don’t get is the impatience of people. After 18 months in and out of lockdown, what is a few more weeks? We are getting towards the end of it. There is a clear road to the finish line. We can return to the pub in about 5 weeks (sooner up we get vaccination numbers up). Yet people still complain. Ridiculous self entitlement.
On another note, how stupid do the anti-lockdown protesters look today? They protested (and got arrested) for nothing.
you mean this type of disgraceful headline with a Clive palmer ad just to rub it in? The Herald Scum does not care about the best interests of Victoria. They just wanna get Andrews at any cost. Its beyond an obsession.

They’re a disgrace. A complete danger to the state and country. We’ve got modelling that says we’re almost certain to have mass cases and deaths under this pathway, we’ve got medical and epidemiology reps saying we need to be cautious and pleading not to blow the system to smithereens, but the Murdoch media doesnt care about any of that.
They don’t even believe the *smile* they write themselves.
I have no idea who this person is but there must be a real fear of burnout in the healthcare system. Feel for them with what's coming.
This is very concerning. What has our health done over the last 18 months to help cope with this?
Cous is a Dr in Melb can also confirm they are starting to feel it in this lockdown compared to other ones. Chronic fatigue. No outlet for them to recharge as he said. Go somewhere, do an activity, nothing. Long term restrictions beyond what they expected by govt. Its impating the H/system (how much, he didnt go into it). Very long shifts continually by many staff. They are doing the best as they can.
on another note, I happen to read (unclear how true), last April, Vic Govt were meant to increase ICU beds by 4800 beds around Vic as a state. Unsure if they have done that. Maybe govt might need to look at overseas to bring in qualified people (nurses & dr) if they are available. EG 200 Drs brought into WA.
Watch the Murdoch media demonise Andrews, claim the roadmap is too slow, support those who want to let it rip and then go apeshit if the ICU wards fill up and people die.
They will have it both ways and the gullible will eat it up, and the Murdoch media will simply not care.

The below is positive. Hopefully our own trends do the same in the next fortnight which seems very possible.
The Herald Sun is a disgrace but I call *smile* on the modellinng that says 2,000 are going to die and the Burnet modelling has a range of peak daily cases that is so wide that any nuffie could have provided it.
What is clear is that what ever has happened to date, NSW have clearly topped out and Vic will overtake soon.
Why do you call *smile* on 2000? Was that for a full year and by the end of this year? if by the end of this year, then I agree. If its for a full year, its probably way too low.
The planning , space creation/ infrastructure and equipment purchasing for a massive increase in ICU capacity was done last year but they have not been commissioned as yet because they have not needed to be. Hospitals can’t hold ICU capacity without patients because it effects normal activity.
In the last 2 weeks stage 1 has been put in place with some increase but there are multiple other stages ready to go if necessary.
Staff is the biggest issue. There just aren’t enough ICU doctors and nurses available and that would take years to create, so others will be brought in from other parts of the hospital system and that can only happen if something stops, like non urgent elective surgery. Getting staff is going to be by far the biggest blockage.
They simply can't know, and they gave a very wide range. Plus we will soon be 80% double vacced where hospitalisations are low, let alone deaths.
