AFL games set to get green light in Victoria, Bombers and Hawks flee state
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/...26-p57v6m.html "AFL games in Victoria are set to go ahead as planned with an 85 per cent capacity allowed, and Marvel Stadium’s roof will open for the first time in 2021, while Essendon and Hawthorn will flee Melbourne on Wednesday to guarantee their weekend matches. Sources said the government had given the AFL the go-ahead late Tuesday night." Wow.....I expected a reduction of somewhere between 25-50%. Would be interesting if people still go. Friday night is the test, Bulldogs vs Dees, 1 and 2 on the ladder. Quote:

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT May 25th, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 10 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.030%. 1 case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.974% and active cases 22. The UK had a lower 2,497 cases yesterday and 15 deaths. Just over 21k new cases in the USA yesterday and 442 deaths sees CMR at 1.782%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases drop pass 168M, the last 1M taking 3 days; India passes 27M cases; Réunion (1,335); and Malaysia (7,289) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average and none drop below.

Hearing a whisper there may be a 5 day snap lock down coming up, starting midnight. Glad I got to supercheap this afternoon.

A few women at work this morning carrying on like a bunch of wallys. I wanted to tell them to STFU. We are stuck in the same office and have to be subjected to their verbal diarrhea about this pharking bullshyte virus.

Have noticed they have done away with the daily number updates, and are now providing the numbers as they come. Interesting.
Also seems Victorians are a sociable lot. One of the clusters started at a "finance" office building in Port Melb, and that bunch then went out to 3 different clubs in South Yarra that night / morning. ![]() PS. The source of the 5 day snap lock down rumour has correctly called it very other lock down. Hoping this is a first strike. |

Ummm.. Yes. It is. Escaped from SA, incubated in VIC, and now possibly taken into NSW metro. Not good at all. Last thing we need is this getting into other states.
If only we had dedicated quarantine facilities that were designed to prevent spread of airborne viruses!?? Morrisons pigheadedness on fixing the quarantine system, something HE is responsible for, is costing Australia dearly. Not a cent allocated for quarantine in his latest budget. Instead, spending YOUR money trying to win a popularity contest for himself. Doing what's best for himself and not the country during a pandemic. New exposure sites being listed by the minute. Don't think a 5 day lockdown is suffice to bring this under control. Too many sites, and it also doesn't look to be just Melbourne metro either. My prediction is a 5 day state-wide lockdown, which will be extended to 14 days depending on numbers in the next 72 hours. Last edited by russellw; 27-05-2021 at 12:35 PM.

Victoria's vaccination program has had an attitude problem. The outbreak may have helped shift it
Has Victoria's worrying COVID-19 outbreak finally pushed aside weeks of vaccine apathy in the state? Victoria's outbreak may have shaken the state out of its vaccination apathy https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-...reak/100166372 |

The irony being that running for the jab now gives you jack-**** protection. Still, better late than never I guess |

It’s not always that simple. I still have strong reservations about it, but will be receiving first vaccination around 14th June - as I believe it will satisfy likely upcoming administrative requirements.
Unrelated, who else has been reviewing early posts in this thread? |

More people at the Yarra River bank last night than I had seen for a very long time for a Wednesday night. Absolutely no panic from what I saw. I think people were out to catch the silly orange moon.
Roads seemed quiet heading into the city but was pretty busy coming out. Cars were stacked on the Yarra boulevard where you can get a pretty good view. No problems with a lock down if it's needed but that freaken 5km rule kills me.

So far the cases seem to all be linked to very close contacts i.e. households or links to households, so likely to be a non event. Actually a bit annoyed they didn't go for the immediate 3 day snap lock down earlier, when they knew the fella has been in the wild for 10 days. |

"To cope with the surge in demand for vaccinations in Victoria, an extra 130,000 AstraZeneca doses will be allocated to the state over the next six weeks. The federal government has offered an additional 40,000 doses this week, and 15,000 further doses per week for the next six weeks." Aren't the AZs being manufactured in Vic? Close the borders. Time for some vaccine diplomacy. |

Victoria, or parts thereof, to head into lockdown, according to the ABC.
