Interesting though that exposure sites still seem pretty limited. I'm in Hampton and keep expecting to see exposure points crop up in our vicinity, but the map has consistently been more or less blank in the triangle between Elsternwick, Sandringham and Cheltenham.

Forget the exposure sites, look at the cases by postcode. Hampton has 4 new cases in the last 24 hours and 15 active cases
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Same as where I live.

I was in a meeting this morning when someone mentioned someone had been with a person in Watsonia who was positive. I had a WTF moment cos I didn't think we had any cases, so I looked and was very surprised at the spread.

My thought is that we've still had people mobile with essential work outside of where they live and lots of exposure sites. Someone catches it at work or in the supermarket, bring it home and infest their family. 35 cases in a suburb could be 7-8 people who bought it home to the family.

There's no exposure sites currently listed in Watsonia and a couple scattered in surrounding suburbs, yet there's cases spread everywhere.

Maroondah now has more active cases than they had in the entire pandemic prior to this outbreak, yet there has only been 1-2 exposure sites and none at supermarkets.

If the AFL decided for the greater good to keep 18 clubs afloat every person who attended an AFL game must purchase a Western Bulldogs membership, would that have the same level of support?

It is for the greater good...

It’s really not, not being a scum member hasn’t killed me yet

In fact if not getting one kills em off, I think we should organise a few brawls, I mean protests!

Funnily enough got a text from them the other day about membership! WTF!
I replied I’m a Collingwood legend, Go Dees!

The benefits of vaccination.

25,000 cases in Victoria since Mid-July when lockdown 5 started.

84% of cases were unvaccinated (21,000)
11% of cases were partially vaccinated (2,750)
5% of cases were fully vaccinated (1,250)

So on those numbers the predictions of a massive increase of cases when we reopen are just scaremongering?

Yes and no. 80% eligible population fully vaxxed still leaves about 1.6 million Victorians unvaxxed.
