^ I wish it were so but Melbourne is getting more and more crowded.

The 5 Millionth Covid test conducted today. 41 days without community transmission and no active community cases despite bringing in 3,000 people from oversea into hotel quarantine each week.
The People's Republic of Danistan, you may have noticed, stopped bringing in overseas arrivals, again. 
NSW has also administered more than double the doses of Vaccine that Victoria has, leading the country with 7500.
NSW doing all the heavy lifting. Thank you Gladys. |
Well I guess everyone better move out of Victoria as with Dan in Charge might kill everyone yet |
😂😂
Yes the sky is falling in 😉
All’s good DTM. Must say Frankston looked great this morning (on the bike) Hopefully with the hordes leaving Melbourne the roads will be quieter. That train station works near Carrum looks spectacular.

| On the weekend there was nearly 4,000 people jam packed into Albury Sportsground for a Storm game, yet 1km away the crowds will be capped at 1,000. Yeah, that makes sense... |

| Apart from observing that the Storm had a great hit-out and I especially enjoyed Nelson's big run for the third try (would that Collingwood had a 125 kg front-rower who could power through the lines like that), I have no idea what you're talking about. |

Nearly 4,000 people are allowed to attend the game in Albury, 1km away in Wodonga, the Incompetent Andrew’s Government caps crowds at 1000. Because yet again they have the same rules in Melbourne as virus free Regional Victoria.
1 case ever and small struggling clubs destroyed by the governments incompetence in Melbourne. Plus with a cross border competition, half the clubs can make a hell of a lot more money than their Victorian counterparts. Going to financially destroy a lot of clubs. |

^ Maybe the ones with bigger takings can help to subsidise the ones that are struggling? It's been a tough year for a lot of organisations regardless of specific state social-distancing policy and its effect on gate takings, and one would think that if there was ever a time for everyone to pitch in and extend a hand, it's now.

Keep in mind, as Eddie said, there's a lot of cross border competitions.
The footy leagues and Cricket comps along the Murray have teams from both sides of the border. When Victoria is locked down, the competition closes.
This last little lockdown meant a number of matches in NSW couldn't happen because the Victorian team couldn't leave home to travel.
The NSW clubs won't be exactly flush with cash yet so I wouldn't expect a lot of sharing

Just had my Pfizer injection ( coz I still do overtime in the ED I’m considered Tier 1A)
Actually on Monday I worked 07:00-13:30 in the ED then 30 minutes later went to my 14:00-22:30 shift in my usual job.
Great injection giver (an ICU nurse) painless basically a bit like the Federal Health Minister: nothing more than a little prick 😉😜
Have to wait 15 minutes and if no ill effects than off to work
Very smooth, well run, well organised. When I booked in online (which I did on Friday) I’ve probably received more than 4-5 SMS’s

Great to hear, WPT. I think it'll be a while before I'm eligible (I'm basically in the lowest-priority category, i.e. Nick's BB moderators  ), but really pleased to hear it's getting rolled out to frontline healthcare workers – if worse comes to worse and we get another outbreak, it sounds like we'll be a lot better protected from the virus spreading than we were previously.

| Yes, as long as one of the 8 infected people have had a jab, and it works. |
