In Victoria, now 29 days in a row of no new community cases. There is still no active case in the State and no-one in hospital with COVID. 10,286 test results reported negative.

No wastewater detections reported, either.

The Federal Government is disorganised in getting a lot of vulnerable people (Tier 1A) vaccinated: doing spin class this morning with a manager of an Aged Care Facility of 160 residents out in the Eastern Suburbs has not got theirs yet and no indication when this is going to occur.

For people like me who are part of a hospital system it’s been smooth sailing. However the Federal run system seems to be a bit ad hoc and a bit of a balls up currently.

If they’d allowed nurses rather than have to go through GP’s it would have been done by now.

Federal Goverment has done a Shocking Job getting the Vaccine out.

They are way behind where we should be

How in the F2KC does anyone think it's still real, after all the science-fiction the last 12 months? It's so see-through.

Use your brains and critically think, people. FFS!!
Are you for real? I understand some might think that it has been taken too seriously and restrictions have been too harsh but to say it is a hoax is just insane.
Disgusting to Read.

Wonder IF he got Govid or Covid Long would he still be saying it is a Hoax?

In fairness they’d never get Covid because they wouldn’t get tested.

Such a tough disease you need a test to tell you you’ve got it...

Now if you have a real disease like man flu, you don’t need a test to know you’re damn crook then!!!

No government (except maybe China) can control this level of stupidity.
A Strathpine man who tested positive to coronavirus held a party for 25 people at his home after being instructed to isolate while he waited for his test results.

If anyone believes that article, you need to wake up. They've been following the same garbage script since the science-fiction started. It's all garbage.

It's all rinse and repeat, and you fall for it.

I hope you're still wearing your masks

Victorian government is going great, apparently I’m now 1b but even if I wanted a vaccination, you can’t get an appointment anywhere in Victoria

But I don’t understand everyone’s rush, other than wanting to whinge about the Federal government, what’s the rush in Australia? As long as Victoria’s not running hotel quarantine the country is safe.

Correct weight. Absolute scumbag. You get locked up for doing other, equally stupid things that risk people's lives (such as driving at 160k in a 60 zone), no reason this should be any different.

Yes, that's "Darwin Awards" level stupidity - but mixed with incredible thoughtlessness and disregard for the welfare of other people. That sort of sociopathic behaviour merits a substantial term of incarceration. If anyone dies as a consequence, he should certainly be prosecuted for manslaughter, at the least.

Perhaps all you have to do to become a more sought-after host is to contract a few potentially fatal communicable diseases. Who'd have thunk that?

It reminds a little of Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death".
