The Glorious Leader's comments on that very subject, according to the ABC blog:
| Quote: | The Victorian Premier said it was very difficult to predict today what will happen on Tuesday when the lockdown is scheduled to end at midnight.
"I would say that the trend is with us. These results are very encouraging, they’re positive," he said.
Victoria recorded 14 new cases today.
"Whether the next few says continue that way, we’ll only know with the passage of time," he said. |
I think it is likely that the present Victorian lockdown will end on Tuesday night. I am not privy to their thinking on the numbers but, if I were them, I'd be thinking about an easing that restrains the morons who want to party like its December 2019 from driving repeatedly between Mallacoota and Mildura. I was flabbergasted to see the trip patterns and repeated stupid exposures that people were taking in the middle of the pandemic.
Seriously, I get that people want to watch their footy team or their NRL or rugby or their national soccer team - but what possesses people in the present context to think that it's sensible to do all of those things one after the other - and dine repeatedly in crowded restaurants in between, then drive to remote rural cities and hop back to the Prahran market for a few coffees for a couple of hours during peak trading time?
Of course, I appreciate that's a cobbled together pastiche of different events - but if people won't modify their behaviour in basically sensible ways, it's likely that the Government will impose some movement restrictions. For the most part, I don't think movement restrictions should be necessary but I do wonder at the ridiculous things that people do if they think they can, with more or less reckless disregard to the question whether they should. At the moment, it does feel like there have been a few too many differently-abled COVID poltergeists speeding all over the countryside, seeding outbreaks.
Just to be clear, I'm fine with, eg, Stui driving from Melbourne to his house at Tocumwal (were he allowed to go there in the present context) because we know that he'll be sensible, take precautions and - for the most part - avoid participating in super-spreader COVID orgies at a different town every 30 km along the way. The problem seems to me to be that too many people don't moderate their behaviour merely because it would be sensible to do so - there's a whole bunch of people who don't think they'll get the virus or, else don't care about it, or about the consequences for themselves, or for anybody else. |

I have flights booked to Darwin on August 4. I just hope things get under control enough here that Darwin will let me in.
The whole scenario with borders is a mess, particularly along the Murray with so many interlinked communities straddling the border.

Hope you have better luck than me.
I got thrown into Howard Springs 3 days into my trip.
Must have smoked 500 cigs in 14 days out of pure boredom. |

Oh geez, phuc that.
If history is any guide, I won't be able to go. I just heard Dandrews bragging how we're going to be the only jurisdiction in the world to have beaten the delta strain twice.
Whenever he bullshit brags, we all get thrown under the karma bus soon after.

Beating it the first time is akin to belting someone in the head with a sledgehammer who has already been tied up and claiming you beat them in a fist fight. We were already in lockdown because, for the 4th time, we'd failed to contain a case of normal Covid from becoming an outbreak.
Before this time around, NSW had successfully been able to beat Covid without needing to resort to harsh lockdowns. Victoria never has been able to, we've failed every time we've tried. 5 times in total now. Why would NSW lockdown hard early when they'd never needed to do it before? All the shriekers claiming Gladys should have learned from Victorian mistakes are only wise in hindsight. She was as entitled to trust the system that had proved successful before as she was to dismiss "advice" from the state that had failed every time.
That's why it grinds me seeing Dandrews being a cocky braggart playing politics, he seriously has nothing to brag about.
Jabbering about his "Ring of Steel" having saved regional Victoria when everyone knows it was a sieve.

Don't like that Glays is asking for more Vaccines just because she did not do a Hard Lockdown like SA and Victoria did.
That should not be the reason why NSW get more and Rest Don't.
She does a Hard Lockdown for 3-4 Weeks and see what Happens

Sorry mate, that's wrong. Victoria seeded the crossroads Cluster in NSW.

I'm wanting to throw him under any bus available whenever he opens his mouth to say anything apart from sorry.

What I don't get is QLD had a delta outbreak and are open, NT had a delta outbreak and are open, Victoria is currently in lockdown.
So can Dan explain to everyone what he means when he says Victoria is the only jurisdiction in the world to stop a delta outbreak??? |

^ Another way of looking at that, of course, is that everyone except Gladys has been able to sort out their Delta outbreak, so far.
In Victoria, 12 new local cases and 0 new cases acquired overseas.
- 39,846 test results were received
The Government says that "The 12 new locally-acquired cases are all linked to the current outbreaks. 10 of the 12 cases were in quarantine throughout their entire infectious period." |
