In Victoria:

Reported yesterday: 1,438 new local cases and 0 cases acquired overseas.
- 34,323 vaccines administered
- 65,497 test results received
- Sadly, 5 people with COVID-19 have died

Since the "anti-lockdown" "protest" on 22 August 2021, the positive test rate in Victoria has gone from 0.15% to today's 2.2%. Thanks, folks. We couldn't have done this without you.

Yesterday, by the way, saw a record number of tests reported in Victoria, so there are many, many more sick or concerned people turning up to be tested than has hitherto been the case.

No cases in HQ, though - looks like they've got that one nailed.

On the bright side, the protestors that caught the virus are probably not vaccinated so we may not have to worry about at least a few of them, anymore.

The ABC COVID blog has reported that "The peregrine falcons nesting at 367 Collins St have just hatched their first chick this morning" and linked to the falcon livestream.

A failed state.

Andrews said he didn’t want to finish up like NSW. He’s right, he’s looking to exceed them at this rate

Am I the only one wondering how we can possibly be considering opening up in these circumstances? These numbers are twice as bad as the very worst we saw in Lockdown 2.0, and that one took four months to deal with. Something's gone badly wrong this time around, and I'm really not sure vaccination alone is going to be enough to get us out of this situation.

maybe stop those damn idiot clueless foilhat wearing unvaccinated thug %$^%$ from storming the city every day might be a start!! think of all that lovely infected spit their alcohol fueled rants are producing!

this is not Dans fault, Dan is not going out partying, loitering, and doing the wrong thing.

2 of my daughters friend spoke to their doctors and went ahead with Moderna after considering their options, Juniors is booked in, meanwhile the other 2 mums are pissed at their kids! because you know, the advice of actually qualified doctors have got nothing on doctor google!

Dan will be happy, he doesn’t even need to come out with his scapegoat, the loyal followers are now well trained.

It’s funny everything in NSW was Gladys fault, nothing in Victoria is Dans

[Pies4shaw]

Everything in Victoria is also Gladys' fault.

No, you're not. It's a political response, not a health-based one.

Meanwhile in Queensland:

NRL grand final crowd cut after Covid outbreak forces new restrictions

"Over 10,000 ticketholders will be blocked from attending Sunday’s NRL grand final after the Queensland government confirmed new Covid-19 restrictions on Thursday.

Six new cases were recorded in the state on Thursday, including one in Townsville.

The decider between the Panthers and Rabbitohs is scheduled to take place at Suncorp Stadium, with the event already sold out after 52,000 tickets were purchased.

However, new restrictions mean 13,000 people will now be barred from attending and have their tickets refunded."
