Melbourne's local coronavirus lockdown begins with 300,000 people facing tighter restrictions

Daniel Andrews is repeating the same experiment
expecting a different outcome.

Albert Einstein is widely credited with saying,
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results."

Einstein was right.
The lockdown didn't work and within 4 weeks
of reopening we'll have a 3rd wave.

Daniel Andrews didn't stop the BLM protests,
he hired cheap idiots to run the quarantine hotel security
instead of using the army help offered.
He forgot about the risks of high rise dense living.
He didn't listen to science:

any better than social distancing:

Melbourne returns to lockdown


Patrick Durkin

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has confirmed a six week lockdown for metropolitan Melbourne after a
[highlight]record 191 new cases.[/highlight]

"These are unsustainably high numbers of new cases. It is simply impossible with case rates at this level to have enough contact tracing staff, to have enough physical resources no matter where they come from, no matter what uniform they wear, in order to continue to suppress and contain this virus without taking significant steps," Mr Andrews said.

"If we were to fail to take those steps, then it won't be a couple of hundred cases per cay, it will be many more than that and will spiral well and truly out of control."

The stage three lockdown from midnight tomorrow night mean residents will once again have only four reasons to leave their home.

The lockdown will also apply to Shire of Mitchell, the local government area in the Hume region of Victoria, north of Melbourne.

Nurses and teachers living in Government Housing? I doubt it.

Shorten hits back at Hanson on Today

Bill Shorten has refused to mention Pauline Hanson by name on the Today show, but he has hit back at her comments about residents in Melbourne's public housing towers yesterday.
"People who live in these towers they are not something different or special," he said.
"They are battlers, they are trying to go to work. There are nurses and teachers there.
"There's a whole lot of people trying to make ends meet. It is a difficult situation.
"I just think that we need to, as best possibly can be done by the State Government, who are acting for the public health advice, we just need to treat these people as decently as we can."

Covid-19 vaccine?
A vaccine could be a false promise -
it may not protect everyone and could
have terrible side effects including death.


Let's face reality -
Coronavirus is one type of cold virus -
we've had 100 years to come up with a vaccine without success
so why would this time be any different?
Also - the virus is always mutating so a vaccine now
may not protect someone 2 months later from a new strain.

Let's hope that they explained it to the residents in their own lingo! Lots of them don't understand English.

Melbourne's local coronavirus lockdown begins with 300,000 people facing tighter restrictions


Preet Cheema is one of the more than 300,000 Melburnians who are again living with tighter coronavirus restrictions, but she says she supports the latest lockdown measures, even though it means closing her business.
From today, residents of 10 postcodes in Melbourne need to follow stay-at-home orders as part of the Victorian Government's effort to control recent outbreaks of the virus.
The orders mean residents can only leave their homes for essential travel.
Ms Cheema owns a beauty salon in Craigieburn in the city's north that she will close for a second time because of coronavirus.
Ms Cheema said her greater concern was for the health of her family, including her husband, who works in the state's emergency services.
She said it was important residents in affected areas support the Victorian authorities and frontline health workers by staying at home.
"No matter how much funding we have, no matter how many health staff we are getting around us and the facilities that have been provided so far, if the community is not being supportive than I don't think it [reducing coronavirus cases] will go any further," she said.
