Danny changes the roadmap for the better for the first time ever!!!

Details of easing restrictions
Mr Andrews is going through the various changes that will take effect from midnight on Thursday:

There will be no limit for Melbourne travel. However, unless you are authorised to enter regional Victoria, you cannot enter at this time

10 visitors, including dependents, will be able to visit your home per day

Public gatherings will go to 15, including dependents

The hospitality sector, food and drink will be seated service and 20 people who are fully vaccinated will be able to have that experience, they will be able to eat and drink inside. Plus the previously committed 50 people outside who are fully vaccinated

Meanwhile, in regional Victoria:

Private gatherings, 10 people including dependents

Public gatherings go to 20 people, including dependents

Outdoor settings, 100 people per venue, fully vaccinated. Indoor settings, 30 people fully vaccinated in restaurants, cafes, cinemas and gyms

And just like Melbourne, students will be back on Friday 22 October

No, but it's an improvement.

Saw an interesting article which shows that Pfizer demanded payment upfront and if they failed to deliver, only 50% was refundable.

So basically if the goverment bought 50 million doses in June 2020 like the hindsight experts wanted and the vaccine failed, the government would have been about 650 million out of pocket.

Wow, what a field day the usual suspects would have had if that happened...

It's an improvement , but so is being moved from Solitary Confinement to General population. You're still in prison.

Pardon me for not getting excited yet, I can't help compare the restrictions in NSW and Victoria at the same vaccination rate.

Logically I understand why Victoria is being (much) more conservative, it's all about the case numbers. NSW is down to the 300s daily, Victoria still 1800+ so the risks are higher. People are getting vaccinated in record numbers, many of the reluctant have been pushed into action, so hopefully the numbers start going down soon but if they don't, here's hoping Dan and Brett don't welch.

Still better then where we are now.

So then IF cases so High then we should just keep staying in Lockdown for long as Possible unless cases numbers Drop which I highly doubt will happen anytime soon.

Doubt things go back to where it was with what Happening at the Moment BUT people doing the Wrong Things and means big Raise in Hospital Cases then he might go back to where we are now

The whole reason we have moved some freedoms up a week is hospitalisation rates are still low despite record case numbers.

Because NSW have more freedoms despite both following the same 'plan' so Danny has decided to start his reelection campaign by bringing forward some changes. We are still a long way behind NSW at 70% DD but it's a step forward.

Looks like Victoria will retake the lead for the most COVID cases by the middle of this week. We are 4,000 behind and gaining by 1,500 + per day.
