Yes agree with everything except the cleaning part, cafes/pubs etc are flat out and they can’t clean every single surface 100%. This bloke was touching everything in sight.. Cafe workers can only do so much.. Not that I am personally worried about catching covid, it’s the stress that it causes for everyone else in victoria if the numbers go up and I spread it around unknowingly..This is what my diary looks like for tomorrow. Finally
We can't - there will always be some people in the population who don't or can't follow the public health requirements (e.g. those who can't wear masks etc). If everyone else is keeping their distance, wearing their masks, the cafe is cleaning surfaces vigilantly etc, then the risk associated with individual exceptions is minimised. The fact you noticed this now but maybe wouldn't have in the past is the key.
The whole country is watching, the end of lockdown celebrations is what has brought many other countries to their knees.Yes agree with everything except the cleaning part, cafes/pubs etc are flat out and they can’t clean every single surface 100%.

Isn't that wave 2?Wave 3 has mainly started from from the easing of restrictions in nearly every other country in the world.
2nd in most places...3rd in the US......aka an ongoing and snowballing first wave...Isn't that wave 2?
Big parties everywhere, forest raves, Roger Sanchez playing an 8 hour set in Miami....
Boom, gone again.
Hence the extended lockdown in Melb.. Nowhere in europe drove case numbers down to eradication levels like we did (along with NSW)... Being a south aussie you probably weren’t across all the modeling they produced to justify the extended lockdown here.. If we didn’t get it to under 5 a day we would cope a third wave guaranteed..The whole country is watching, the end of lockdown celebrations is what has brought many other countries to their knees.
Wave 3 has mainly started from from the easing of restrictions in nearly every other country in the world. N Ireland is now locked down for the second time... Imagine the disappointment
You don't need to drive it to zero to have a wave, N Ireland and many places in Europe had the first 'wave' like everywhere, drove it to somewhere happy.... next thing it kicks off AKA wave 2 which was met with harder restrictions, where Melbourne/Vic is now, driven down again to an acceptable place.... happily rejoicing the escape from jail has resulted in wave 3... we are behind the shit that other countries are experiencing at the moment due to the extended lockdown of VIC driving it to basically zero. Other countries have been happy with a decent dip... as I said, the whole country is watching with baited breath.Being a south aussie you probably weren’t across all the modeling they produced to justify the extended lockdown here..

Yes agreed, though some places stats are blurred with the whole countries numbers. USA def have a definitive 3rd wave. A lot of the other places didn't have decent testing regimes or took it seriously from the start... or false stats.2nd in most places...3rd in the US......aka an ongoing and snowballing first wave...
Most waves are separated by the resemblance of gaining some control...the USA has never had that. They barely had sections of levelling off before bouncing back harder. It’s damn scary to look at the fact that while most states are increasing their infection rates dramatically, many their governors refuse to even enforce mask wearing. I really feel for Biden when he takes office with the rate of current increase.USA def have a definitive 3rd wave.
Nah not really, we have closed borders UK didn’t/doesn’t.. The virus got circulated again through europe with people moving between countries, we don’t have that.. Again nowhere in europe has got remotely close to vic numbers. There is only singapore, kinda south Korea/Vietnam to have such success with suppressing the virus from high case numbers..You don't need to drive it to zero to have a wave, N Ireland and many places in Europe had the first 'wave' like everywhere, drove it to somewhere happy.... next thing it kicks off AKA wave 2 which was met with harder restrictions, where Melbourne/Vic is now, driven down again to an acceptable place.... happily rejoicing the escape from jail has resulted in wave 3... we are behind the shit that other countries are experiencing at the moment due to the extended lockdown of VIC driving it to basically zero.

A lot of the 3rd wave is because of people fed up with testing/stats and didn't get tested due to livelihood's collapsing and going back to their full way of life.
Brilliant, there is evidence that the seasonal changes over the past few years have slowed in warm weather ? All those years of collecting stats since March 2020 ?Nah not really
Also we are now into the warmer months, there is very solid evidence now that the transmission and severity of cooties 19 is seasonal in temperate climates.
Don’t confuse less transmissable with “it magically goes away in summer” trump bs... The virus ain’t going anywhere but there is good restrictions in place combined with summer that work to our advantage..Brilliant, there is evidence that the seasonal changes over the past few years have slowed in warm weather ? All those years of collecting stats since March 2020 ?
As I said, the whole country holds their breath, watching the next 2-3 weeks.
Well that speaks volumes for Victorians, if the rest agree with you.Lastly, Victorians couldn’t give two fucks what the rest of Australia feels.. Sorry to be blunt, it’s nothing personal..
Wait...what do/don’t ‘we’ think?Lastly, Victorians couldn’t give two fucks what the rest of Australia feels.. Sorry to be blunt, it’s nothing personal..
Something about a football.Wait...what do/don’t ‘we’ think?
