Friendly reminder. If I see any form of bullying on here, you will be unfollowed, blocked or reported. I saw a lot of that during Covid, especially during lockdown periods, and I found it deeply offensive. If you see any form of bullying, call it out. #Twitter #bullying

Next time Gladys has a go at other states about borders, I’m going to scream. She’s the reason Sydney is facing the prospect of being cut off from the rest of the country indefinitely. #covidiot #covid19NSW

@NomessTess @rachelbaxendale And we haven’t forgotten that we had 340K Pfizer doses nicked and redirected to NSW resulting in a later and higher Delta peak than NSW and delaying the reaching of our reopening targets by weeks.

I am absolutely furious with Gladys. Not because Vic is about to have a full blown third wave (I doubt that will happen), but because her right wing ideology over science approach has put us in a position where we have to worry unnecessarily. #covid19 #covid19NSW #covid19Vic

Yikes. The US just recorded a whopping 60k cases in the last 24 hours. Their biggest single day spike on record. Absolutely horrendous. These numbers make my blood run cold. And it puts Victoria’s situation in perspective. The US is munted. #covid19

On this day 12 months ago, Victoria recorded 671 cases and Melbourne was sent into a level 4 lockdown with a curfew that would ultimately last for 86 days. Today, the state recorded just 2 cases, and 0 infectious in the community. Amazing work Vics. #covid19 #covid19Vic

@emmadegotardi @AllanSeymour1 Well said, Emma. 120 straight days of pressers is not the behaviour of a dictator. He kept the hard lockdown firmly in place until it was safe to reopen and not a day longer than was needed. Had he reopened any earlier, there likely would have been a third wave within weeks.

@kazza264 @PRGuy17 The only way we could have reopened following the second wave was to go for 0, and even then we had to maintain some restrictions as there were no vaccines at the time. And we definitely couldn’t have reopened with Delta around until we had high vaccination rates.

Victoria marks Christmas with a 56th straight local donut. That’s correct. 8 weeks without a single case in the community. I’d say that’s a pretty good way to start Christmas. Bloody brilliant news. #covid19 #covid19Aus #covid19Vic #MerryChristmas #CovidFreeChristmas

Hey everyone. I just wanted to apologise for my panicked tweets last night. Given what we went through last winter and the recent lockdowns in Brisbane and Perth, this new case caused me a lot of anxiety, and being autistic, I find it difficult to control. #covid19 #covid19Vic

Fuck you Scomo and Gladys. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

@PRGuy17 If we hadn’t had 340K Pfizer doses nicked and redirected to NSW and had other supplies, the Delta lockdown would have lasted 6-8 weeks instead of 11. Anyone who thinks that’s on Dan hasn’t got their head screwed on properly. It’s on Scomo.

Feeling very worried about these 2 new cases in Vic and the fact that there’s an emergency meeting underway. I’m expecting some bad news. My stress levels are quite high. #covid19 #covid19Aus #covid19Vic

Hey all. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my paternal grandfather in the US, aged 88. He went peacefully. On a happy note, my maternal grandmother is 90 today and we had a wonderful family lunch. #RIPPapa #HappyBirthdayNanny #ILoveMyFamily

Just blocked and reported some lowlife scum who wished death on VIC premier Daniel Andrews following the bomb threat at Parliament House. I’ve blocked and reported a few of these types since Covid. Whatever your political views, this behaviour is not on. #springst #IStandWithDan

@COVID_Australia This is really good news for Victoria. First sub 200 day since 13 July. And the peak was only 16 days ago. Very happy with these numbers. #covid19
