Coronavirus 3 - Al Pacino's turn to mumble

Great 2 new case in Melbourne now because Borders where still open when they should been shut

Wouldn't have made any difference, moving is still permitted and Victorians are still free to travel to NSW, they just have to self isolate on return for 14 days instead of just getting a negative test.

And they all had completed their red Zone victorian travel permit

What I find interesting around today's latest vaccine rubbish and Pfizer is for 18 months it's been all about we have to listen to the health experts, listen to the health advice.

Now it's the Prime Minister himself should be ringing CEOs and ordering vaccines himself instead of the health authorities...

Any leader who just abdicates responsibility to so called experts should be sacked. A real leader takes the expert input into account, balances that with other expert opinions and makes a call.

Meanwhile, KRudd and his supporters believed that he had some influence with Pfizer over our vaccine rollout.

It's a massive worry. It's out so expect to see cases start to climb.

With how Many Cases in NSW/Sydney it was always a Worry espicaly when Borders where not Slammed Shut

In Victoria, 2 new local cases, 1 case acquired interstate and no new cases acquired overseas.
- 23,470 test results were received

There are 20 active cases.

[Pies4shaw]

And, from the ABC blog, some further derail on the Victorian cases:

Victoria has recorded one new COVID-19 case in addition to two cases announced late yesterday.

The new case is a member of the same household as the cases identified yesterday, and has been isolating.

There were 23,470 test results received yesterday, and 14,384 doses of vaccine were administered at state-run sites.

The two people who tested positive yesterday had returned from New South Wales on red zone permits.

They are part of a family of four based in the Hume local government area.

Here we go again for another 3 month lockdown. I really wish they would slam shut the borders earlier. It certainly adds extra fuel to the conspiracy nutters' theories.

Another unfortunate development reported in the ABC blog:

A case of COVID-19 has been confirmed in Goulburn in regional New South Wales.

The ABC has been told the person is an essential worker who travelled from southern Sydney.

The positive case had been working on a construction site next to Goulburn Hospital.

The Southern Local Health District is putting in place additional pop-up testing clinics in the city.

Some good data here on how the vaccine rollout is progressing. Includes some 1st and 2nd dose by age demographic.

Worth keeping an eye on.
