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.

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
I am incredibly proud of my fellow Victorians. This time last year, we were in the early stages of a horrendous second wave. Now, we have no community transmission and are on track to have more restrictions eased this week. Amazing work Victorians.

We locked down within 24 hours of the first Al-Tacqwa case. Hardly acting too late. Riots, illegal parties and delayed/redirected vaccine supplies have been the problem.
Great news - The latest medical advice indicates the outbreak in Vic is not expected to grow much further, with a return to 0 cases expected within days. Fantastic work by contact tracers to ensure this outbreak didn’t go out of control.

Okay. If I see any tweets threatening violence against Daniel Andrews, you will be reported and blocked. I’ve already reported and blocked one guy with a photo of a rope around Andrews’ neck. Whatever your political view, there is no place for this behaviour.

Hi all. It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my maternal grandfather, aged 89. He went peacefully. Thank you so much for your support during this very difficult time. It is invaluable.

Right. Any tweet gloating about Daniel Andrews’ injuries will be a red card offence and will be blocked on the spot. It’s okay to disagree with government policy, but laughing at someone’s injuries is not on. Full stop. Any such tweet will be blocked.

To every single Victorian who is or will soon be vaxxed/boosted, wearing a mask and isolating when required, you’re a bloody legend. You’re the reason we’re not spending Christmas in lockdown and will have full crowds at the G tomorrow. Thank you.

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.

You know what? As much as I want the 5km rule gone and to be able to eat out again, I’d much rather wait an extra 3-4 weeks than have a third wave. If these rules are eased on Sunday, great. But if not, it’s for the greater good.

Not a single mystery case in this outbreak and it only took 11 days to get to 0 cases infectious in the community. Given how contagious this Delta strain is, that’s an amazing result.

Some arsehole just replied to my Christmas wish to Dan Andrews by accusing me of not caring about the 800 people who lost their lives during Victoria’s second wave. Of course I care, and you’re lucky I didn’t block you for that. God some people are dickheads.

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.
I am incredibly proud to be fully vaccinated. It means that even if further cases and/or exposure sites appear in Vic and we have another lockdown, I’ve done my bit to protect my fellow Victorians. That’s a massive win in and of itself.

To those of you who took part in last week’s riots or had a Grand Final party, don’t you dare complain if lockdown is extended again after we hit our second dose targets. If our roadmap is suspended due to overloaded hospitals, it’s on you lot.

Whilst the restrictions were horrible in many ways and in my case they resulted in my grandfather’s funeral having to be postponed on several occasions, at the end of the day, they saved lives while we waited for vaccines to go in arms. I’m not angry about them at all.
Arrived safely at Dad’s house. My flight from Melbourne to Fiji was 25 minutes late due to a paperwork error, but I made my connecting flight to San Francisco, so a yellow card for the delay rather than a straight red. Jee it’s good to have arrived.

I’m not the least bit upset with the slightly longer lockdown. In fact I’m glad we’ve done it. This Indian strain is much faster than the strain of last year’s second wave so a 2 week lockdown is the shortest we can do without risking a third wave.
