Not the worst news. Sooner we start, sooner it's over and done with.

100% Agree with that.

Sooner we do Lockdown sooner it be over for awhile

[Dave The Man]

I prefer an early, short lockdown to nip it in the bud but ffs, could we not move quicker on border closures?

Spot On do it Quick and Hard and Not Slow and Soft like NSW.

I also agree Border Closure was too slow should of done it a lot earlier

Should be Closed now until other States have 0 active cases in there States

[stui magpie]

For those complaining about border closure, Andrews already had the NSW border closed, these guys were allowed in. It's not NSW fault they came down, NSW had a 5km limit in place except for essential workers.

Truck drivers were considered essential workers in Victoria all through 2020 lockdowns, I have relatives who never missed a day of work due to lockdown.

Here's where the truck drivers went and what they did.

Interestingly they did the same stuff in SA as here (working without masks etc) but no one in SA has so far been infected. Also interesting that Victoria reported difficulties in getting information, SA had no problems and said they were cooperative even if 2 of the 3 were language challenged.

As far as the feeling that Gladys should have locked down earlier, hindsight and emotion would support that, data available at the time not so much.

The cases numbers in fairfield didn't start to spike until 10 days after the lockdown started and restrictions were increased almost immediately. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-15/ ... /100293882

People accusing Gladys of playing politics instead of following heath advice really need support with their delusions. All the Premiers play politics, all of them take health advice onboard, none of them despite the rhetoric follow it to the letter. That's why each state acts differently.
QLD for example has only used LGA restrictions and no statewide lockdowns, largely following the NSW model more than the Victorian, WA just locks down every time a community case happens.

Can't argue with that. Just get kit over with and then stop all international arrivals - except for returning citizens to live permanently. If people leave the country - they don't come back. No-one allowed for funerals or compassion reasons.

If Dan's lockdown works, the ALP will get enough leverage out of this to win the Federal Election, and probably every State election.

[Dave The Man]

I am Fully Vaccinated so should I be complaining I am in Lockdown?

I 100% agree with Shuting the International Borders.

Yes I know it sucks but we are looking out for 20+ Million People not just a Few People.

Internet is here so not like you miss out

Might be better IF we had 1 Medical Person who is Charge of all States for Covid Then?

Delta has not got to other States Yet and seems like the ones that come in to Victoria are Idiots and go out and about

Possibly but it doesn't work that way under the constitution.

Idiots are everywhere in every state. What the removalists did in Victoria was legal in NSW and SA but not here.

[think positive]

Name & shame the dodgers and the removalists, might be a deterrent! damn over it!

Actually Delta has gotten into every single mainland state and the NT, mostly from QLD. But Victoria is now 2nd for most days in lockdown for delta outbreaks, so why does one state keep getting it so, so wrong?

I sincerely hope you never have the problem I had when my father died and my mother could not see 2 of her 3 siblings. I was refused entry etc.. I pay tax and and a born Australian. To you I say two words and one starts with f and the other with you.
