Maybe in Sydney, but here I haven't seen a single person in a mask, anywhere in town.

They are practicing social distancing, you use the State Government QR code sign in when you go into a pub, there is hand sanitizer in every shop entrance, but no masks.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Don't see the issue with wearing masks in public spaces, I have to wear one in every job I go to, surely it doesn't hurt to wear a mask when in shops or where social distance is hard?

Yeah I never saw a single person wearing a mask in Albury, mainly as half the people were there to escape from the hell south of the border!!!

10 days to go of Victoria being on top of this virus then it all starts again, might be time to make the move as well :lol:

I didn't say there was an issue, I'm providing an observation that here in regional NSW, no one is wearing them.

I took the eye roll about wearing a mask in regional Vic as an issue?

I do think it's stupid that in border communities you have different rules on each side of the river, and yes I am familiar with the concept of different laws in different states.

I took my mum and her 80 year old brother out to lunch Wednesday. He plays lawn bowls in a competition that includes clubs on each side of the border.

So when the teams from Vic come into NSW they can play and socialise afterwards mask free, yet when the same people in the same teams play in Vic they're expected to wear masks while playing and socialising.

You get used to being maskless very quickly. I had to duck over to Cobram this morning, walked into a shop and the bloke behind the counter is wearing a mask. I'm like "Oh shit, sorry, I forgot", pulled tthe mask out of my pocket and put it on.

Research shows it’ll be one less whinger in Victoria then.

Congratulations to Victoria: best in show. 28 days and no cases, technically eliminated the virus (for the time being) now how to deal with the overseas visitors and interstate harbingers and cesspit’s of infection

Absolutely. With no international flights coming in and the population in lockdown for 4 months, a semi competent administration would have had us here months ago.

For comparison, days since last local transmission
NSW 20
Vic 28
Tas 108
NT 118
ACT 140

And all of those states have been open for business while we were locked up.

The only measure Vic is best in show is killing people in Australia via incompetence. 819 deaths out of 907 total nationally.

Yay, go Dan, go Vic.

Things get a bit slow in the country:

Form our dizzy heights it’s a performance unmatched. Victoria, Singapore, Taiwan, The World.

BTW South Australia says hello.

Lol, congratulating Dan for doing what no other state in Australia managed, a second wave of Covid is funny. Maybe he should have tried not being incompetent and following the National cabinet and we’d never had a second wave to recover from.

Yeah SA, who are carrying the load because Victoria can’t contribute anything to the National effort and Dan slammed the border shut over 20 cases, yet wants congratulating for causing 20,000...

The best in show, let an outbreak grow into 20,000. The other states stopped them at 20...

There’s always whingers. Like I said if you won tattslotto you’d complain.

Magnificent job in Victoria. Those responsible for mistakes have either been sacked or resigned. That’s responsibility and strong leadership.

Victoria is doing well. Businesses relaunching with a stimulus budget that Scotty from Marketing could learn from.

Neville- Still there
Crisp- Still there
Pakula- Still there
Phemister- Still there
Sutton- Still there
Andrews- Still there

Oh but the lady who was more preoccupied being a leftist sook on twitter got demoted on the same pay, but the DPC secretary on the verge of retirement and one Minister got thrown under the bus and that's getting rid of everyone who stuffed up? Not even close...
