Scotty over-promised and under delivered.
Yep, he did. How much of it is actually his fault is debatable but he has.
Lucky for us Dan would never do something like that. Like, he'd never stand up at a press conference and promise that the Victorian Hotel Quarantine was best in class and should be copied by ever other state and then have to shut it down (again) just 2 days later because it leaked like a screen door on a submarine.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

(Just for those who prefer boring old facts to wonderful belly laughs, the chance of getting a fatal blood clot from Astazeneca is 1 in a million, where the chance of dying from Covid in Australia is 27,000 per million. To be fair, that last figure is likely to drop in any third wave, perhaps to around half that. For those who have trouble with sums, yes 12,000 deaths per million is more than one death per million.)
If I died from Covid I’d quite likely be the youngest person in Australia to die from Covid so yeah it’s pretty bloody unlikely!!!
In Victoria, 2 new cases acquired overseas (total of three active overseas-acquired cases). 9,503 test results were received.
No community cases for 45 days, now.
9 new overseas-acquired cases in NSW today (total of 53 active cases - I assume they are all overseas-acquired but NSW doesn't provide summary data on that point).
Concerns over youth of intensive care patients in Brazil
There's concern in Brazil that more than half of patients in intensive care with COVID-19 are under 40 years old.
The P1 variant that exploded in the northern Brazilian city of Manaus last November is ravaging the country.
Twice as transmissible and infecting younger ages, it partly explains why half the patients in intensive care and are now reported to be under 40.
Hospitals in most of the country are at 90 per cent capacity and deaths have surpassed 350,000.
Despite accounting for a fifth of all cases nationwide in the past seven days, Sao Paulo state is easing restrictions today allowing takeaways and reopening schools this week.
