Not good news if this information is correct. Dear me
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Victoria's last "donut day" on 4 August 2021 was in the middle of the present outbreak, on a day when there happened to be no reported cases, sandwiched between days of multiple cases on either side.

The current Victorian incursion actually began on 12 July. In the first 27 days of the present Victorian outbreak, there were 270 community cases.
So you know more than the Victorian government? Because they say this is a new outbreak with a mystery source…

the longer we wait, the more underwhelming it'll be.

Maybe he will increase the travel to 5,001m from home.

No, I just try to read the information carefully and analyse the data accurately. Thus, the Victorian Government's coronavirus update for 4 August 2021 states (amongst other things) that:
Victoria was notified of no new cases of COVID-19 yesterday.

This is Victoria's first day of zero locally acquired cases since the current Delta outbreak began on 12 July.

There are 99 active cases in Victoria - 95 locally acquired and four overseas acquired cases.

Well that was worth the wait....

"From midnight on Thursday playgrounds will be able to reopen and restrictions will ease around in-home child care arrangements."

I am glad they stayed up all night in an emergency meeting.

I assume they're using the % of over 16's getting vaccinated, as on the Covid Live site it says Victoria is on track to get 70% of over 16's 1 shot by 24 September.

NSW is on track to get 80% before the end of next week.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

People who are eligible for AZ, still hanging out for Pfizer.

FFS, just go and get vaccinated you idiots.
