How long did you have to queue or were you able to avoid that somehow?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Longer it Goes seem more Likely there will be a Lockdown in Melbourne for at least a Week

I really hope not, they really should have good enough contact tracing to stay on top of these small numbers. Yeah they stuffed up the Epping / Epping North one which gave the Virus a head start in the community but all the cases so far have been pretty connected.

if we get broader infections that each spin off multiple close contacts and exposure sites then they may have to. We've already got people panic buying poo tickets and potential exposure sites in Bendigo and up on the NSW border.

Going by the Emergency Meeting there been More Cases Today and some might not be Traceable.

Rather been in Lockdown for 5 Days instead of Weeks or Months

We've been told to take the work laptops home each night, bit worry the regional exposure means they may not just lockdown Melbourne

Yeah was interesting they weren't rushing to realise that over the border!!!

But I don't know, Bendigo and Collingwood game, bloody Buckley's no1 fan... :wink: :lol:

Any lockdown will impact people who can't work from home and won't get paid. Avoid if at all possible.

Saw on the news that discussions are very advanced between Vic and the Feds to build another quarantine site at Avalon.

Given Dandrews well known friendship with Lindsay Fox (who owns Avalon Airport) it was potentially very strategic to go to the Feds with the plan they didn't want, building it on Federal land at Mickleham, and once that would be knocked back and instead the feds gift the Foxes hundreds of millions of dollars with no procurement process followed.

Other states are putting border restrictions in place and people here are preparing for another lockdown because, basically, no one has any faith in this governments ability to manage this.

Personally I really hope they've finally learned and can deal with this like Gladys does without needing lockdowns. I don't think they have but I really hope I'm wrong.

Cases have Spread right around Melbourne so I doubt that will Happen and not worth taking the Risk

Potential exposure sites have spread across Melbourne, cases so far haven't. If they do in the next 24-48 hours then Lockdown may unfortunately need to happen but hopefully some nuance is applied.

Hearing a positive case up this way, not sure it's already in the known cases or not? One of the local footy clubs came out saying a positive case was at their game on the weekend.

It would be great for Victoria if they can beat this without lockdown. Make it 2/3 outbreaks in the last 6 months stopped without lockdowns compared to 1 completely unnecessary lockdown that cost Victorian businesses over a billion dollars.
